I want everyone outside the UK to understand that every single bus stop and billboard advert here right now says something like, “We get it; you’re burning the family photo albums to keep warm and might lose the house. But don’t worry – we’ve just made our oat milk even tastier.”

This is exactly what has led to this weird call of duty moment. The bad guy is called “El Sin Nombre” which translates as “The Nameless” which is really cool and badass. But I just keep picturing a peppy gerbil trying to teach me maths

This bothered me in later life as El Nombre literally translates to “the name”. He should’ve been called El Número.

The main issue I have with the new CoD is it has a big bad guy called “El Nombre” and suddenly I’m 8 years old off school watching cbbc.

Shantaram is a TV show set in India but starring this blonde man & apparently rehashes the racist & colonialist "white man finds himself in India" trope but gangster edition! (Thread...)

I love what you did with the colours, but the message gets watered down with the (probably) illegal in the EU cookies overlay, and the grifty timed subscribe popup.

Friends, Elon sees Twitter as the “common digital town square,”but this “town" is not Our Town. It is Muskville. A public square isn't owned by billionaire megalomaniacs. It belongs to the people, ruled by democracy. Instead we obsess over a man we never elected to govern. [1/6]

OK, so here's what the situation is. * Twitter is now owned by a right-wing narcissist * Facebook is unusable, genocide-supporting, and basically spyware * Instagram is owned by FB (sorry, ~*~Meta~*~) and basically adware * TikTok is censorious and also spyware

If you sent me a message and I never responded, Just know that I stress about it every single day because I haven’t figured out how to respond so I feel immense guilt every time I see that unanswered message… OR I’ve forgotten that your message (and you) even exist.

A lot of people who say they want "free speech" actually just want to be the one in charge of which speech is free.

That's the CFO I believe. The CEO, upon being fired during a takeover, is given a payout of $60,000,000. So when someone says "I guess it doesn't PAY to be WOKE" you can say "actually does, and the payout is $60,000,000"

Imagine Elon Musk takes over your job and fires you, not knowing your contract says you get $42,000,000 on the spot if this happens

Spot on, and that's not just conjecture: I worked at Reddit. Reddit tried being the free speech platform, and then I and many other people had to spend years cleaning it up just to get women and advertisers to consider coming back.

Here it is: Twitter engineers were told today to *print out* their last 30 to 60 days of code, so they could show it to Elon Musk himself. Then they were told wait, no, actually, please shred all that code you just printed out. Subscribe to read ➡️ platformer.news/p/elon-takes-o…

I wouldn't consider "developer first" the mass stealing of code and implicitly making many people complicit that is copilot.

That’s not new. If you don’t want your shares tracked, find the ? and delete the code after that. Works on most sites.

Just to give you an idea of how many things Twitter has written code for: Desktop browser, mobile browser/pwa, Android, iOS, support website, blog, cms for those, their font, backend, server/container infra, moderation, HR, advertising, and any custom devtools to make those.
