It's like there's a tweet for everything he does. I love this.

Hey #FOSS people, I have a friend who is a reserch statistician who uses proprietary #statistics tools at their institution. Is there some resource I could point them about robust alternatives?

@chadloder i did post sometimes on Twitter to mastodon but still read mastodon replies.

In fact I get more interaction here than on Twitter.

The censorship of journalists did it for me.
I still cross post to Twitter but no longer have the app and no longer interact

J'ai acheté city skyline. Jaime bien a date. Le jeu est en rabais si il y a des gens intéressés

I bought cities skylines. So far I'm liking it. It's on sale by the way

Journalists, I am begging you:

Organize.

Tap your networks, figure out what collective action you are going to take against Musk, and then do it.

He may not realize it, but his platform lives & dies by your participation.

You may be under attack, but you have the cards.

@louiscouture Ils ne pourront JAMAIS avoir Mastodon à cause de sa structure décentralisée 🙏🙏🙏

@psykotikx heureusement que les milliardaires ne contrôlent pas toutes les plateformes dans lesquelles on peut s’exprimer

Can’t handle this much free speech.

Can’t criticize a billionaire. I can’t post Mastodon links. Can’t post information public info about FAA flights. Nothing happens when I report death threats and rape threats. And I’m assuming my account will get banned any second now.

“Free speech absolutist” my asscheeks

@BruceMirken ooooh I get it now it's not black Friday 🛍️ but black Friday 🧒🏿

Anyone can create an account on the Fediverse, then send a post.

Now does that mean you're entitled to an audience?

No!

Freedom of speech exists on the Fediverse -- and so does freedom of association.

@cwebbonline how is that money laundering though. It certainly is a scam but the scanner isn't trying to launder money

@atomicpoet if by woke they mean black people should have rights then it's so woke but if they mean it like all white men are racist homophobic sexist transphobic then they are completely delusional

Elon Musk and Autism/Aspergers

I certainly don't speak for all autistic people or for the autism community in general, but as an autistic person and someone who knows many autistic people who are kind, compassionate, honest, and decent human beings, I feel compelled to make this statement:

Elon Musk is an egotistical narcissistic megalomaniac who is out of touch with reality, power hungry, entitled, privileged, corrupt little man but nothing he does or thinks or says is because of autism.

If anyone is writing about him, or reporting on him, or making any attempt to analyze what is going on in that head of his, please keep autism out of the equation.

Does he actually have Aspergers, like he claims? Who knows. He says he does but clearly he lies. A lot. I don't know him well enough nor am I qualified to make that assessment.

Ultimately though, it doesn't matter. Autistic people can be evil too. It just means that autism isn't the reason.

So please do myself and all of the autistic people I know and any who agree with this statement a favour and leave autism out of the discussion.
