Or he's just a narcissist that can't run a company if he's not held on a leash by people who actually know what they're doing.

It should be noted that setting Adguard as your DNS will allow Adguard to track the domains you visit. The latest info I can find is that a lot of their team is still located in Russia, which makes them susceptible to government demands regardless of their intentions.

DNS adblocking should be the last resort. On Android there are many ways to do system wide local adblocking (with and without root). Don't know about iOS. Alternatively you can do network level blocking with something like a pi-hole.

The leaked email has his name on it and the leak claims it was an email from Elon to employees. Can't really tell if the leak is real or fake, but if it's real then Elon is definitely the one who wrote it.

Based on his proclivity to say dumb shit and his inability to keep his mouth shut, I'm inclined to believe it's a real leak.

What? Twitter is majority owned by Musk, by a very very large margin. Not that giving your info to Musk is any better than giving it to the Saudi government.

Beehaw's reasons for defederation were completely unrelated to what's happening now. They didn't want the general public to have access to their "safe" community.

Most money is already digital. There isn't a paper bill backing every dollar, far from it. No doubt it was the same in Russia.

Manipulating the currency exchange rate is one of the favorite activities of corrupt autocratic governments.

It's a method to give the impression that the full scale invasion did not hurt their economy, hell it even made it better.

However, you can keep up the facade for only so long until the natural forces of the market overpower and break it.

I will probably get shit for this, since it's a predominantly left leaning space, but until society starts acknowledging men's issues it will keep getting worse.

https://afsp.org/suicide-statistics

In 2021, men died by suicide 3.90x more than women.

In 2021, firearms accounted for 54.64% of all suicide deaths.

This article is an excellent example of what I am talking about. It does not even mention the disparity of suicide rates between the sexes despite it obviously being a huge outlier. Instead, they talk about how guns are the problem, even though a gun is just a method.

Taking away the easy methods to commit suicide might reduce the rate, but it does nothing to address to core issues that make people want to kill themselves in the first place. Instead of 5000 dead people you will have 5000 people who wish they were dead. Mission accomplished.

You know you fight it? Return it. Say it doesn't work with your system. It's a perfectly valid reason to return a product.

Just call it Twitter like everyone else lol.

A. It's more convenient and clear. B. It will probably piss off Musk.

What ideology did he promote?

Being against Judaism is not the same as being a Nazi whatsoever, so your analogy is just incorrect on a fundamental level. And frankly, it's so obvious that it feels like a bad faith argument.

And yes, if you had relatives killed by jewish (religion, not ethnicity) people justified by their religion, it would be completely in your right to burn their religious text.

Hell, you're in your right to go burn any religious texts you want without a reason. (Not recommended in Islamic countries, might lead to a severe case of a death penalty).

Oh no! Barely 18? As in an adult? Adults in porn?! Call the fucking cops. Not like there is a 1000 porn studios with 18 in their name.

And if you're taking action because of how right wing propaganda might misinterpret it to paint you in a bad light, that's just pathetic.
