Elon wants to be the only dim one in the room

- RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Well, that’s easy, he can just walk into literally any room.

  He really dimmed any room he walked in.

Maintaining existing CSS is hard. Luckily, usurping all of social media as an “everything app” will be trivial by comparison.

  Step 1: Fire 80% of your programmers
  
  Step 2: Promise new features including getting into banking and ecommerce and literally doing “everything”
  
  Step 3: ???
  
  Step 4: Profit(?)

    In step 3 is “lose 50% of your advertisers” and “completely destroy a well known brand that’s made its way into common nomenclature” among others

    Elon has clearly shown that I can trust him with my finances. I am excited to turn all my personal data and money over to his excellently designed software and highly ethical company. What could go wrong?

    Step 3 is using chatGTP to break… I mean to build your site

    I can’t imagine wanting to use Twitter for anything critical after Elon axed the security and compliance teams. Like finance. You’re basically asking for your identity to be stolen.

  Don’t they use tailwindcss at twitter? Must be easier to remove dim mode

Stop posting and upvoting musk spam.

source
- ilickfrogs@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Better yet, Lemmy should get the much asked for ability to filter out keywords from our feeds. Musk, Twitter and reddit would be blocked immediately. I’m so sick of them.

I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.

source
- RealThunderhop@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.

    It’s so annoying. The people I follow keep complaining about musk. Their followers keep telling them to move to Mastodon. But they don’t. What are they scared of? They’ll lose followers? Because I’m pretty sure if they switch and put a link on their twitter, a lot will follow.

  - OtakuAltair@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    For my use case (browsing art and comics, mainly japanese), Mastodon’s actually proving to be a worthy substitute. Some of the people I follow have already moved to it and Misskey
    
    Most haven’t yet, but the tight-knit feel it has now isn’t too bad.
    
    I post on both, but mainly browse Mastodon and encourage others to do the same.

Anyone actually cares at this point?

- tekchic@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don't think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.

  I’m guessing that no one here does. If you’re in Lemmy, you’re probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.

  I wish people were far more willing to just move on when the winds were changing, instead of sticking out for… god knows what reason

  - esty@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    yeah, but the Twitter migration problem is “everyone i follow is here and not there so why would i leave?” It’s not like lemmy or Reddit where the individual disappears behind the content

  I don’t really care but I find it interesting. Just how quickly he is destroying one of the worlds most recognizable companies.

    Yeah, this is a car wreck I can watch without backing up traffic behind me. Except the police are arresting some of the first responders while other first responders are punching the people who were in the wreck and the tow truck just pulled right into a car in one of the open lanes, work crews are hastily pulling down billboards and Elon is out there whistling to himself and adjusting the brightness of the street lights.

Elon: "I'm going to delete this thing."

Everyone else: "NO! Why would you do that kind of thing?"

Elon: "O-o-okay! B-b-but I'm going to delete something today! That other thing, then!"

(Elon continues to read the hypothetical The Best Of Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss book and gets so many ideas, folks)

    That gimmick lasted all of a day or two until Elon decided democracy was cringe when Twitter voted to oust him.

Twitter’s going save money by hosting their website on Geocities. The new plan only comes with 250mb of storage and that dancing baby gif is like 3mb easy. Gotta clean up somewhere.

Imo so he can bring it back as part of the paid features, the dude is looking for ways to make money in literally everything

source
- Unaware7013@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  And he's so shit at it, especially on Twitter. Let's not forget about the dumb idiot going full fash and chasing a significant amount of advertisers away, I'm sure that helps his financial situation a lot.

  You mean pay for a CSS re-skin? To enable light mode??

  - TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    Yes, that seems to be the plan.

  I mean, he kinda wants to make 40 billion dollars back… he ought to try to nickel and dime every single user
  
  source
- Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  And I love that there will probably soon be browser extensions specifically to allow users to use custom css on Twitter (assuming they don’t already exist, which they probably do), so those who are still there and really want whatever themes he’s deleting still won’t have to pay him if that’s the plan. Which goes for anything that is handled on the client side, though some might be easier than others.
  
  Though I gotta admit, I do like them setting dark mode as the default. Black text on white makes sense for paper and ink but for screens it’s just a lot of unnecessary light being blasted at you, wasting energy and making your eyes work harder.

You can’t call yourself X and then not go all dark, that makes perfect sense.
I’m just waiting for the Radio X-like slogans, for the full effect : “we’re the end of the alphabet people, that’s got to mean something, but we don’t know what”

    Well, he did run the company into a revenue-destroying iceberg (in this case, iceberg = Elon Musk), and is now rearranging the deck chairs as the company sinks, so all Titanic references are apt.
