Marcus Vaughn was called racial slurs by his manager & saw a fellow Black co-worker beaten with a chair. After telling HR & @ElonMusk, Vaughn was fired for “not having a positive attitude” He’s one of many Black workers filing legal action against Tesla.

Elon Musk bought Twitter when he could have hosted his own Mastadon server for ~$60/month.

Not sure why people are criticising Elon Musk for spending $43 billion on Twitter. We spent £35 billion on a Test and Trace app and it didn't work.

The $44 billion Elon Musk just spent on Twitter could buy roughly 2 billion mRNA COVID vaccine doses for the world.

Everybody on Twitter wants to know where to go now. The answer is your own website, syndicating out to wherever else people end up. This is the IndieWeb. Let me know if you’d be interested in a talk about how to get set up.

Safely refactoring Ruby traditionally involves many incremental steps and feature flags. Sorbet and 100% branch coverage make it possible to refactor a lot of code safely.

Elon Musk is such a stellar example of this country's anti-intellectualism. A bunch of people calling themselves free thinkers believe that the richest man on Earth proposing the invention of tunnels is an anti-establishment genius.

I honestly don't know what to do about Twitter. I find him and his fan club absolutely repugnant. I don't want to support him in any way. But Twitter is how I've made many of my friends as an adult, how I've found multiple jobs, and is pretty essential to my life. Fuck.

elon musk spending $43 billion to stop getting bullied on twitter when he could’ve simply been less annoying is insane

first-mate prance (@bocxtop)Mon, 25 Apr 2022 14:38 +0000

when we stopped literally demonizing and torturing left handed people, the number of them on record shot up, because people felt safer admitting it the actual proportion of left handed people in society didn't change, and right-handed kids were not 'groomed' to left handedness

None of this would be happening if you all simply did as I do, and pay Twitter $3 a month for no reason

it's not twitter that's broken, it's the internet. at every step of the way we've let the digital commons be overrun by corporate interest and now we stand inside each of our fenced off spaces yelling across the divide, hoping it's better in someone else's pasture.

Billionaires are all the same. A shame they get so far because too many people just assume they're rational, normal folk. Theyre not.

general panic aside, would strongly encourage ppl to maintain an alternative platform just in case, but to not abandon ship entirely many of us depend on the varied demographic of twt users to make a living; a mass exodus will only harm small businesses, not a multi billionaire

mastodon.social going down on rumors of a Twitter acquisition is a pretty good microcosm of where decentralised social media is at, infrastructure-wise

Tristam (@0x21376B00)Mon, 25 Apr 2022 13:44 +0000

as someone who wrote a social network in a weekend: yes, it's possible to do that as someone who's seen the Google App Engine bills for what that social network would've cost if launched publicly: you absolutely cannot afford to grow to 100k users without a serious cash infusion

big benefit to a fragmentation of people, thanks to a mass twitter-bail means we will no longer be forced to hang out with complete dickheads maybe a centralised platform where everyone yells at each other wasn’t a good idea actually
