You mess with the crabbo...



Elon fans inventing a completely hypothetical magically successful tweetphone as the reason to smugly claim that Tim Cook got scared and backed down is the thing that's completely broken my brain today. It's just so insufferable :negative:

That's cos there was no misunderstanding, Cook never suggested it was going to be removed, you just made the whole thing up to cry about censorship, you insufferable prick.

Pornhub gave everyone free premium for a week or two during the pandemic lockdowns so as far as I know they are heroes.

To be fair, it must be extremely difficult to moderate porn. But I'd be super super super diligent about people claiming anything illegal.

I think it ended up being a few months actually.

I just assume Cook humoured him to have a little chat and then when Musk brought up the 30 dollar fee, Cook stonewalled and Musk pretended he had no issues with it anyway, haha, then they did the little video, and Cook went back while texting his app store team to install the "delete app immediately" button for use when news of twitter goes south

musk never really had an issue with apples 30% cut, he just wanted to stir up some anti-apple rage in case they deleted his app, which all his right wing bootlickers told him would happen aany minute now

I think it's the other way around. Musk didn't like the 30% cut so he was hoping to stir up outrage at Apple under the guise of free speech in order to make a deal with them. I'm assuming Cook told him to pound sand.

No, desperately trying to win the respect of grifter and/or fascists poo poo heads, while burning your empire behind you, is obviously a far better use of a life.

The dude has deep-freezes full of monkey-burgers and eats nothing else. That would explain the brain worms. They might actually be brainworms, or kuru, or some new and exciting zoonotic ailment related to eating our fellow apes.

Doesn’t Neuralink have to get IRBs approved like anyone else? Non-human primate IRB approval is extremely difficult. How would they off thousands of macaques without immediately getting shut down?

The university involved has a reputation for their mistreatment of their lab animals. Like, they explain away the fact that some of their subjects are lacking fingers is due to their natural aggression-based conflict resolution.

I really thought poo poo had changed since the days of Harry Harlow and his garbage science but I was wrong.

For the record monkeys are gross but they should be gross outside.

What the gently caress
