After the election win, I am no longer that certain in how bad of an investment Twitter was for Musk.
It probably helped the Trump campaign somehow, even if not decisive.
And he will probably get billions in AI subsidies which he will partially spend on licensing Twitter content for AI purposes.
This was the point all along, it gave too much power the individuals and now he can manipulate it
He didn’t lose money, he just bought a propaganda machine. His image of being a dumb meme man may be mostly true but it’s also a perfect cover for fuckery
Yeah he didn’t buy a social media site, he bought a propaganda platform
and the difference between this one and truth social is you don’t have to advertise it to get people to join, since half the population was already on it anyway and most people are too stubborn to leave
I have a friend that complains about Twitter non stop but refuses to leave. I mock him every time he brings it up.
I used to laugh really hard about that shit as well, but I was apparently just not seeing that the guy was buying an election. I guess I just think too small.
Microsoft is already working on it
Press Ctrl+shift+alt+win L to check their progress.
Does nothing for me :>
Why would I need a LinkedIn hotkey?
Pebcak. I have a feeling you’re not truly pressing the windows button :)
Doesn’t everyone? Microsoft seems to think so.
Does not work on Pop OS
Wait was LinkedIn ever not owned by Microsoft???
Yeah it got acquired in 2016 for $26.2 billion
Ah if only I had graduated on time I would have experienced the pre Microsoft era.
It was the same, shitty experience it’s always been.
But then where will we find out what distant colleagues did 7 weeks ago?
I can’t begin my day without seeing a company I used to work for years ago catered bbq for a customer 3 weeks ago. Complete with pictures of the food and handing out of company branded hats, “we do it the (company name) way!”
My occupation includes a ton of boomer field techs. Literally all they do on LinkedIn is hit like on every photo the HR/marketing women post of themselves. It’s miserable, I don’t think they realize that like gets shared with me. As in, I would have never seen this random photo of a woman in a booth somewhere if they didn’t hit like. So my feed is a flood of creepy dudes liking pictures of women, and then an ad for Cisco. I could go back to Facebook if I wanted this.
Uninstalled it a couple months ago, it’s completely useless and just filled with ad spam post of companies I don’t fucking care.
Also, the fake job seeking messages you get daily and never respond after you contact them back.
I used to think Elon was just an idiot for buying Twitter and running it into the ground, but now I wonder if he was completely successful in buying a giant megaphone and making sure it only broadcast his pro-Trump propaganda. What does he care if it’s not making as much money?
He is going to get so much contracts for his other companies, not to forget in Russia since he managed to put a kompromat in the white house
This is very plausible. And an argument for why we shouldn’t have the ultra rich. No one should be able to do such a thing.
LinkedIn only exist for me when looking for a job, definately not a place to stay, i am alergic to toxic positivity
No, do Jira next
Then what will we use?
I admit I kind of miss bugzilla.
¿Por que no los dos?
Not too worried by LinkedIn.
At this point of time though, Facebook is as toxic as truth social, so happy to see that destroyed so s real competitor can replace it
I don’t think it was a bad purchase after he succeeded in electing Trump.
Not a lunatic.
