ColdPie posted:Free speech doesn't work because speech can, itself, suppress speech. You have two options: decide which speech to allow, or let the loudest/rudest/most violent people make the decision for you. It's no coincidence that the "free speech" people always agree with the positions of those loud/rude/violent people. That's the speech they want to promote, and they use the fig leaf of "free speech" to do it. Almost every upstart social media site starts out talking big talk about how they support Free Speech as a core value (how come no one else ever thought of this?!) and then quickly goes through the same painful learning process where they end up having to invent content moderation processes for what should have been obvious reasons and discover how massively difficult and unrewarding a problem content moderation at scale actually is.

You can edit a Tweet up to 5 times within 30 minutes of submitting it too!  EDIT: Unless it’s not been implemented for non-Blue users, I don’t see any way to format text in the iOS app. Still such a dumb “feature” anyway.

Noxville posted:I wonder why Elon isn’t reply guy-ing this Halli tweet yet all the top replies are either some blue check spouting bigotry, or the occasional non-verified "good on you" which is then piled on by the blue checks Elon may be missing a jillion basic goalposts, but he sure did succeed in his efforts to aggressively platform transphobia

Cabbages and Kings posted:Screenreaders do their best to ignore combining characters, so, if your zalgo input is "normal words which have used combining characters to appear hosed up as rendered", the screenreader is apt to just do the right thing. On the other hand, if the zalgo input was a bunch of el33t sp34k n0n$ense, then the screenreader will choke on that as bad as it would if it was not zalgo'd. Thanks, that makes sense. I appreciate the opportunity to learn a bit more about a topic of which I was relatively ignorant, in this, the laughing at Elon Musk thread. It had bothered me for a while that I felt like screen readers might have trouble with that sort of text, but that I didn't know where I might find out whether it is in fact so, because it's a relatively obscure topic. They do say that the best way to get an answer to a question on the internet is to confidently give your own answer, and wait to see if someone is moved to indignantly correct you.

Can’t tell if trolling or not. In case it’s not, this is written using Unicode characters from different encodings / for different purposes. E.g., they might be for a different language, mathematical symbols, etc.

They used to argue that puberty blockers are dangerous untested medical experiments, but I guess enough people pointed out they've been around and in medical use for ~a century that now they just pretend trans healthcare is different.

Piell posted:because they call puberty blockers and HRT "sterilizing" too As an middle-aged man who identifies as male, I have very little idea about any of this. So after some basic Googling (forgive me if I get anything wrong), this all seems...well, kinda cool, really. I never knew any of this existed and it seems that according to my sources (Mayo Clinic and Planned Parenthood) that a lot of thought has been put into this whole situation. Which is really neat. And it's amazing how much it freaks out people like Musk. So much of their own identity is wrapped up in the social constructs that without them they just fall the gently caress apart. I mean, for someone who's way into science and technology, Musk is astonishingly narrow-minded when it comes to society. Then again, he just play-acts being a TechBro because like most/all rich people he wants bonafides for being lucky. Tenebrais posted:They used to argue that puberty blockers are dangerous untested medical experiments, but I guess enough people pointed out they've been around and in medical use for ~a century that now they just pretend trans healthcare is different. And if Musk was half the scientist he wants to be, he would find this all fascinating and neat instead of screaming 'they're not gonna take my weiner' and running away. And this is the rear end in a top hat who playacts taking humanity off-planet? Good grief, this man has no limits to how sad he is.

There are loads of people who aren't exposed to the sort of carrying on he does and still perceive him as the electric-car-rocket-scientist-genius guy he is marketed as. I think I didn't really know anything about him until he called that cave diver guy a paedophile and then I realised that hang on, this guy isn't good or clever at all, he's actually a complete bell end

And this is the rear end in a top hat who playacts taking humanity off-planet? Good grief, this man has no limits to how sad he is. It's another of the ways that despite apparently loving Iain M Banks's 'Culture' series (to the extent that he names his rockets after the spaceships from the books, and his current location on his Twitter profile 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' is a (botched) reference to one of them) he completely misses the point. In that universe the citizens of the Culture can use their technology to change sex over a period of months, and most do purely out of interest and to gain experiences they otherwise wouldn't.

There was some polling that did suggest an equal percentage of people now like and hate his guts, instead of people perceiving him in a mostly positive and undecided manner in the past. People used to see him as just eccentric but events like him completely butchering “I’m rich bitch” make people think he isn’t eccentric but just an attention seeking loser. jeffreyw fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Apr 14, 2023 |

Elon is doing the Lord's work in that he is showing everyone that billionaires can be complete morons who continually fail upwards. If our society ever decides to stop worshiping idiots with money we will be able to trace that starting back to when Elon bought Twitter
