Tell me you suck at css without telling me you suck at css

Because the tech behind it isn’t cheap and money does not fall from trees.

Even though people on Lemmy hate Elon Musk and what he’s doing to Twitter (there’s a lot of hate against him here, since most people are left leaning), he got the message loud and clear: People are tired of ads and of platforms that eat through our personal data like Google and Meta.

All his actions with Twitter is to steer Twitter away from the advertising system. My guess is, he wants advertising to be a non-essencial source of revenue, hence he switching the name of the platform to X.

My guess is that he’s planning to make a super-app with multiple services, so there will be:

• X Twitter
• X Pay
• X Banking … etc,

These other services will provide the other revenue the platform needs.

Why did I brought this up? It’s because Google and Meta failed to see the message and they’re going on a downward spiral. Google has been trying to charge more and more on subscriptions on YouTube for example, but that’s not nearly enough to cover the percentage of the advertising revenue. And now instead of trying to find new solutions they’re doubling down on advertising revenue strategy by making ad blocking unusable in the most used browser engine.

Who cares about Reddit. We have Lemmy now.

Which accounts?

Could be meant more like to influence elections…

You’re painting him like he’s a super villain, that’s pure hate for him. Why?

I think these limits were increased to a point where they are not really bad or they were removed. The point of them was to prevent scraping to train AIs

Mate, you said Musk is broke.

Twitter was not even close. It had a lot of dead weight, wasted a big fat billion on wages every month alone. He fired 85% of the work force and Twitter managed to release more features this year alone than in the past 3 years. They have so many people working there that didn’t do anything at all.

I mean everyone remembers those tiktokers that worked at Twitter. They spent more time on useless meeting, drinking and eating at the company expense and toying around than working.

Honestly my wild guess is that he’s trying to make Twitter profitable from subscription based services and not so much from ad revenue.

Can’t really have free speech if platform depends on advertisers and investors.

Tesla has been breaking records on vehicle sales and the Model Y is top selling in various markets.

Tell me, how is he broke?

What does he has to gain in lying anyway? It’s not like he cares about what investors think since Twitter is now a private company owned by him.

Musk wasted a shitload of money to make it private. Twitter is wasn’t even close to being a net neutral business, was downright a hole of money the investors kept feeding because well, it’s Twitter.

Musk bought the brand, he was well aware that this was going to happen.

That’s just numbers they throw out to please investors. These companies live from that, most likely a huge chunk of those were bots and forced sign ups from Instagram.

If you have Meta social networks you already threw privacy down the drain. One thing I like about having Apple products is that Google/Meta ads become very dumb …

And pretty unstable as well. I tried using it vs Chrome and everyday I have to close Firefox due to some memory leaks it gets.

Mozilla is doing a shit job maintaining it, I prefer giving my donations to Wikipedia

Edit: also interesting how many downvotes we’re getting. Speaking truths isn’t welcome here.

Performance? That’s a big lie, performance-wise Firefox is very bad even compared to Safari. Dev tools I can agree with you, and the other CSS it’s on par with Chromium imo.

I can’t find the sources right now but it’s being shit I’ve been reading over the years. It goes from employee complaints against the corp, them not using donation money in the browser, etc.

I’ve seen an employee complaining about the impossible deadline they put for Firefox for Android, leading for the browser to come out filled with bugs, while also being very underpaid for a tech worker. In another news, the company direction has been getting huge raises for some years already.

Also, the money you donate isn’t going to the development of the browser. You can notice it as well, since the browser is very subpar when compared to Chromium. Mozilla isn’t making a good job at all and even though I still use Firefox, Mozilla has become a money bank for greedy directors, and I don’t support it at all.

Mozilla are dicks already lol
