And now their market is going to just be chuds! All this because Lonnie wants hugs from chuds!

Like we’ve been talking about the shakiness of the website itself, but we’ve also got:
Some of these are more serious than others and some of them could be weathered, sure, but the prognosis gets bad when you’re fighting technical and legal battles with a skeleton crew who may not have been paid, in buildings that you may be evicted from tomorrow.

I wonder if musk is taking something that put him in a mental state where he thought it was a good idea to mass ban journalists. That’s like jailing your rival candidate in Tropico, it hurts your image and they just nominate someone else anyway.

Also, twitter is banning any links to mastodon, as it's a "dangerous website". Also they're poo poo at coding, so apparently capitalizing any letter in said link evades the filter

Farmer Hairplugs just banned a Voice of America journalist. Seems like a bad move for someone's whose only viable business is dependent on government contracts.

He had already run enough journos off the platform by last week that Chapo Trap House ran out of content and had to open up to a call-in format. And yet, the show was only stronger for it.

Not even close - nfts are not and have never been a way to show ownership of copyright of an artwork, any more than physical possession of a painting shows ownership of the copyright. You could certainly sell the copyright along with an nft, but a contract, not the nft, is what proves the copyright has been transferred.

You could certainly sell the copyright along with an nft, but a contract, not the nft, is what proves the copyright has been transferred. From a plenty-of-years professional technodork point of view, NFTs are basically SSL certificates verified using a magical blockchain instead of an actual chain of trust. They simply are a block of data that says "yep, this person owns <thing>" with a cryptographic reference that says "ask <upstream> for proof", except instead of <upstream> being authenticated by one of the dozen internationally approved sources of truth, <upstream> is a cryptographic signature on a blockchain that cost millions of trees to get to that you "trust" because the math says you should. Not only is it a bad implementation of an old technology, it's intentionally designed to burn as much energy as possible to create in the name of libertarian decentralization or whatever the noncing gently caress.

It doesn't make sense to me either.

I haven't had my morning coffee so I don't feel like redoing the math. But back in 2018 I worked out that a single Bitcoin transaction had the same carbon footprint as driving an F-150 from Jacksonville to Houston. It's energy wastage has only gotten worse since then.

Tropico’s advisors exist primarily for comic relief and give horrible advice, but following it would be an improvement on what Musk is actually doing.
