Why does this feel lie a viral marketing campaign to get people to watch stuff on X?
"I interviewed Elon, got cancelled and he mad. Watch on X". It just doesn't add up to me.
Edit: It's not on X, apparently. It's on YouTube. So I was probably a little out on this. Very clever viral marketing still, but hopefully not to the benefit of X.

Welcome, and keep up the good work. Good to see you here.
Even if you don't like communists. Politics plays a big part in open source for many, and giving power to people and away from corporations. While we were all happy and content on reddit, those guys were grinding away to build something for people. It did not appear over night. To some extent it is what drives and motivates people. I understand you are not communist and don't agree with the philosophy, but it's worth at least respecting that it plays a part in how people operate and is a reason why they self-sacrifice the way they do.
I'm personally a socialist and don't agree with tankies support of certain countries administrations (past and present), but share a similar view of the world in wanting power in the hands of people, not corporations. I think we need to go further to respect other people's views, even if we do not agree with them. Shitting all over them (and the platform) based on their views while supporting the thing they build does feel somewhat disrespectful. It's the same as religion in some ways. You can fundamentally disagree with a religion while conducting yourself in a respectful manner when around those that differ from your views.
Imagine saying "I didn't want to use x because of the creators , but later realised the religious view didn't impose on my own, so I have given it another shot."
I think we need to get to a world where we can be respectful of people having different views even if we do not agree with them and would be quite happy to deconstruct it in debate.
Become a professional, then you'll commit every time you make a small bit of functionality. If you're doing massive changes like this, you haven't broken something after multiple days of code enough. When you do that and you have no idea what you broke it with and when, it conditions you towards small iterable chunks.
If you leave it too long, folks will just register for another instance, and all momentum will be gone.
I wouldn't take too long getting the rescue boat out when folk are in the ocean....
Is it weird that the only celebrity who's getting a public print of emissions is one that is despised by a political party for getting people out to vote?
I don't really care much about her, but this feels like "how do we get young people to not listen to this person... ah, let's go with emissions".
Hi. No one is creating content on Threads, can we steal your content, please?
Is it just me that keeps seeing questions about Skiff that look more like adverts?
It... doesn't feel... organic.
I'm British. We don't have the accent American's think we do. We're far more scummy and swear far more. Proudly working class, and proudly unpretentious.
If you aren't using Firefox yet. Start, ASAP.
Google tried to exert control on the internet with web manifest v3 and now again here. Letting google dictate web standards is a mistake. Using Firefox shows companies they need to support more than chrome.
I have suspected for a while it is astroturfing. Same as with GIMP and Libre Office where inevitably someone will trash the UI as it's "soooo bad". If you say a lie, and repeat it enough, people start to believe it.
Well it's open source android, if the code is bad, it's jettisoned. While I cannot stand Google, not every line of code they write is trash.
The sandbox is good and you do not need to install Play if you do not want to. I use f droid where possible.
I want Linux Mobile but it is not ready yet. In the mean time, this is the best we have.
