Google isn't blocking one of the biggest adblockers. It's killing chrome!
Those who aren't using an adblock won't notice any difference but everyone else will just migrate to a non chromium browser
And don't come to me with the "but shares are not money".
WTF are you on about? Where did I even alude to even suggesting that? Sounds like you're really desperate to simp for him.
His companies are notoriously overvalued (so his shares in a practical sense are worth shit) and he is massively over leveraged so those who devise those wealth chart tables are chatting shit.
The real wealthy are incredibly private about their worth whereas boastful egotists like musk are all show no substance
I have my suspicions that Peter Thiel is assisting him to a degree as Twitter serves his purpose.
Do a "site:reddit.com your username" search & you'll find that all your comments are still there.
Lately I've found myself info dumping on people about some tangentially related subjects that I've been reading about over the last decade:
- Loss of the 'third place'
- Privatisation of public space.
- Decimation of the high street & how removing, not increasing parking spaces will be instrumental in reviving it
- How out of town retail shopping parks contributed to the obesity epidemic.
- Why the UK has seemingly unique weather compared to it's neighbours
This is one of the main issues with all new builds in London.
There's plenty of places going up but they're all being sold to overseas investors as buy to let and do it keeps making rents exorbitant for locals.
A friend who is into ultra endurance cycling competed in the TransCon last year.
He rides a Brompton in sandals!
He's also completed the PanCeltic Race multiple times as well as the Trans Atlantic Way
Little bit of pop trivia for you.....
The version that was covered by Tight Fit that was an 80s one hit wonder in the UK, was produced by Tim Friese-Greene.
He also produced "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby and was also a co-writer, producer and player on Talk Talk's final three albums!
The vast majority of his wealth is wrapped up in stock of a massively overvalued car company and the loans he needed to buy twitter have huge interest payments and he doesn't have the cash to pay them
But it's not about replicating what Reddit was about, then or now. It's about getting back to what we had before the centralisation of the net but with the lessons learnt. To build a more egalitarian platform without the necessity to drive engagement at whatever cost.
We don't need to, nor should look to set up tooling with what we learnt from Reddits failures. We're building a new, better experience of the web and we definitely shouldn't be looking to just migrate the user base from one site to a bunch of federated servers. We need people to definitely experience a cultural cleanse. Not to just have an exodus from there with all the bad habits and aggressions. We know where that path leads.
We are on the cusp of a potential paradigm shift of the internet and we can shape what it becomes!
Exciting times!
