Why would they want to do that think Patreon, but built directly into Twitter. so people would be able to be able to pay to "subscribe" to a celeb's tweets, and that celeb would be able to make certain tweets "subscribers-only"

The mistake there is in not charging me to opt out of targeted celebrity tweets.

BoldFace posted:I never understood why twitter hasn't added a support for some kind of longer form blog/article type of content. Currently, people either make clunky 30+ tweet threads, or post their content on dedicated sites like Medium or Substack and link those. Originally it was to counter blog sites. If you can't say it in so few characters then it doesn't need to be said sort of thing.

Especially since I assume most would want a signing bonus up front

The content would be immediately shared on other social media though, even if Twitter prevented retweets on the subscribers-only tweets.

Yeah, good luck stopping people taking screenshots. Besides all of that, what's the incentive for a celebrity to deliberately limit how many people can see their tweets? Isn't all the attention kind of the whole point of being a celebrity? This thing is like an onion of dumb. Layers upon layers of bad ideas.

I imagine it would mostly be to compete against platforms like OnlyFans. There's a lot of porn on Twitter already. Might as well monetize it.

How is Twitter being owned by even Putin himself a national security concern? Like does Trumps old account have the launch codes stored in a DM or something?

SpartanIvy posted:How is Twitter being owned by even Putin himself a national security concern? Like does Trumps old account have the launch codes stored in a DM or something? The thinking could go something like this: Twitter is a way to rapidly collect or distribute information, misinformation, and disinformation. Everything from disasters to civil unrest to breaking news. If an adversarial nation state gained control it could use Twitter to spread harmful disinformation, hinder US open source intelligence gathering, and otherwise be weaponized against the US and its allies. Musks tweets wouldn't necessarily be reason enough to stop the Musk takeover, but it would be enough grounds for the DoD to at least take a look into the acquisition

So Twitter's already doing the thing that Microsoft did and stopped doing because it cost them a full decade of progress, and Elon wants to do that but much more so and also other, worse things

Rebel Blob posted:Twitter is already floundering and has been instituting a stacked ranking system. Workers are ranked in relation to each other, so there is always a bottom 10% and a top 10% regardless of circumstance or overall team performance, with the idea of regularly firing the lowest ranked workers. Musk is planning to immediately target the bottom ranked 40% for first removal upon getting control of Twitter before moving on to firing another 35% of the company. Wow that's the same business plan that the CEO at WB-Discovery is doing. Expect ads for My 400 lb. Life every 4th tweet or so. CharlestheHammer posted:How would exclusive celebrity content even work? Will he make deals with them to put out content? Why would they want to do that Onlyfans except Elon doesn't have to buy Onlyfans. Ultimately though all it would end up being is a place for celebrities to shill their products and/or sponsored posts like some people do on Instagram.

It's a pretty funny story on the podcast. His fob was busted and he was using his cell phone app to start the car. Well, he drove into the basement of a parking garage and... No service. Car is bricked. He was able to open the car, but for some reason it wouldn't go into tow mode. Worth a listen, pretty funny.

someone linked me to that story and told me it was funny. i listened to it and it wasn't that funny (or at least not funny enough for the amount of time it took to tell). i can save you some time if you want a summary: teslas don't have a physical key, just a key fob. his key fob broke. not just ran out of batteries, but actually electronically malfunctioned somehow. he had his phone as a backup to unlock the car, but that requires both the phone and the car to have internet access because it authenticates with tesla instead of just doing it locally over bluetooth and exchanging a cryptographic key like a sane implementation would do. he then parked in a parking garage with no cell signal and was completely unable to start his car because the car and phone could not reach the server. he could unlock it through a passive RFC or NFC thing in the key fob, but that wasn't enough to start the car and he couldn't even put it in tow mode. he had to track down a special tow truck that could put his car on a bed and also fit under the garage clearance, which was less than 7 feet. prior to that, he spent all day on the phone with tesla support and they couldn't do jack poo poo to fix it and basically told him he was out of luck. if i remember right, he said he had a model S, so apparently the people who wrote that article with the caption that it's unclear which model he owns didn't listen to the thing either. e: oh, realized i worded something wrong above, to clarify: the phone isn't just for unlocking, but also starting the car. you either need the fob or your phone + internet to start it. (you can unlock it with a non-working fob through the RFC thing, but can't start it that way apparently because??) Bad Purchase fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Oct 22, 2022 |

SuddenCactus posted:Doesn't Russia also have the rare earth minerals needed for teslas? Not really no? Cobalt is mostly from the DRC, Lithium mostly from Bolivia (this has its own issues). The only mineral that can only really be found in Russia, to my knowledge, is Titanium, which Teslas don't use any significant amount of. You may be thinking of Neon, which is crucial to the fabrication of chips used to make just about every car, Ukraine basically has a global monopoly on that, and the war has hurt supply.

The reason it's associated with Russia is the soviets were the first people to really figure out the metallurgy of working it into a useful structural metal. So they were mining & producing large quantities of it when nobody else was. Thus leading to the CIA buying the titanium that would be used to spy on the Soviets (in the A-12 and SR-71) from the Soviets. Today China produces 3x the amount Russia does.

Aluminium is also everywhere. You just need to commit to the heavy industry to produce it.
