  • Twitter Inc. no longer exists, now X Corp.

    This is awesome. I suggested that Twitter ramp up long and short form video and add an industry leading livestream component with a partner I won’t name. This has the potential to disrupt entrenched giants such as youtube, Facebook, Vimeo, and others. Absolutely huge. Can’t wait to see the fruit of this. 

    Twitter is has already cleared out the gunk that was there from the old inept leadership. Now to strengthen the foundation and build out. 
    You're really watching a different movie than the rest of the planet.

  • Starting April 1, all a Twitter blue checkmark will mean is the user is paid

    Pay $11 a month just to demonstrate to people what a dunce you are for giving money to that moron, how fitting.

  • Apple Music rolls out to Tesla cars in holiday software update

    No CarPlay = just one more reason my next car will NOT be a Tesla.

    It's a shame, really.  I mean, I don't care about "panel gaps" and such, but proprietary charge ports and a complete asshole running the company are a no-go for a car.

    Oh, and no gauge cluster on the semi-affordable models.  That's a biggie too.
    I’m curious if other people feel the same way. Elon would never admit it if it were true, and I don’t know how much market research Tesla does. Anecdotal, but a friend of mine in LA just canceled a $140k Model X order and ordered a Rivian because he just can’t stand the Musk any longer. 
    It's not the correct company, but maybe something can be gleaned from this article? (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/13/twitter-lose-users-elon-musk-takeover-hate-speech) The Guardian predicts Twitter will lose ~32M users in the next two years due to the company's new Musk-scent.

    Since Tesla is publicly traded we should know rather soon in detail how many others the new odor offends, and as you and Badmonk both pointed out, at least anecdotally it's already happening.

  • Twitter relaunching Verified, with manual authentication checks

    Didn't Parler get booted from the app store for inadequate moderation policies? What does it mean when the big twit reverses all those previous moderation decisions, doesn't that effectively end moderation as posted in their TOS, and wouldn't that warrant a ban from the app store until they properly reimplement the policy??

    BTW, the number of ads on this site right now on the home page are disgusting.
    There are no more ads than normal on the homepage.

    If you're referring to the Black Friday deals posts, feel free to not click on them, the same as you shouldn't click on anything else you don't want to read.

    If they are so disgusting then how much would you be willing to pay for a subscription to AppleInsider? $5/mo $10/mo. Sure we all just hate ads don’t we but ads are what make the world go around. Without ads free OTA broadcast TV would not exist. You must not know much about business and how a blog like AppleInsider pays the bills. Let’s see, there’s the domain service, the bandwidth, the employees, the taxes, the accountants, the lawyers. What did I forget. No, it’s the freetards of this world that are disgusting because they have no clue.
    Apologism and defeatism, nice, and a bit overly sensitive me thinks.

  • Twitter Blue is dead, 'official' checkmarks resurrected

    Nothing says stability like capricious and polemic shifts in decisions. The advertisers must be kicking themselves for holding back on this new and lawless wild frontier.

    Not chief twit, chief twat.
