Threads hasn't been alive for a day, and Twitter is already threatening to sue
Anilu_777 said:jdw said:I personally feel folks need to leave Musk alone. He bought Twitter. He can and SHOULD try things. You win sometimes and you lose sometimes. Not all decisions are good. But CHANGE is better than what the old Twitter did.
I am mainly writing this post because I spotted a separate article here on AppleInsider today entitled "How to delete your Twitter account on iOS & the web." I couldn't help but feel that was pushing the "We think Twitter is bad, and we think you should feel that way too" narrative. And what do you know? Comments are BANNED under that article, thereby giving credence to my suspicions.
The world has gone mad. The very fact people spend so much time on social media is partly evidence of that. Calm down. Take a deep breath. Look outside at the beautiful world instead of your mobile phone. Think positive thoughts rather than be so critical. There is a batter way. Most people simply chose not to pursue it.
I know you’ll delete this, and that’s OK. At least you will have read it.
I wish you all the best and hope for better days to come for AI. -
Twitter frustrating developers as it cuts off some third-party apps

Don’t go full “Microsoft Weenie” on yourself. -
Apple's North Carolina campus is still coming, but when is the question
The loss of state incentives for not having a hired 126 employees locally really shouldn’t be much of a loss for Apple. In fact, I would look down upon the company if that was the primary reason for locating and Research Triangle Park. It’s just wouldn’t be a good luck for the richest publicly traded company on the face of the planet.
I would be far more interested in news of the building architecture and accompanying landscape design. Of course, $1 billion is modest compared to the $5 billion Apple spent on the Apple Park in Cupertino. Nevertheless, they ought to be able to come up with something very nice. -
Twitter staff nearly decimated by Musk's 'extremely hardcore' demand
DAalseth said:LOL Those posts here saying that Musk is just clearing out the dead wood, that Twitter staff was full of people that weren’t working hard, weren’t pulling their weight really crack me up. Do you really think that 75%+ of the staff weren’t needed? Do you really think the site that had trouble staying up last World Cup will do just fine with not just people, but whole departments gone? With Content Moderation crippled? With Public Relations and Communications dark? With most of the programmers and infrastructure people not there, or at best spending time looking to get out? Do you honestly think that by selectively driving away the most experienced, most talented, most capable members of the staff, the site will somehow work better?
Get real. This fiasco will be used by business schools in the future of exactly how not to take over a company. As an example of precisely how not to treat your staff. As Exhibit A of managers that did not know WTH they were doing.
The Twitter employees who are leaving won’t be around to undermine the new boss. It’s a good way to clear house. Obviously, many posters here think that Twitter was just fine and dandy befits big bad Elon showed up. Twitter was bonkers partisan. It was a poorly run profitless shit show. Arbitrary enforcement of their rules undermined its credibility. Musk is putting and end to it. And he’s going to to it with committed people and not those who would secretly try to undermine him. -
Elon Musk moving forward on Twitter deal, and might mean it this time
