TBH during annual review time I always bring up I have the most commits to the project and my managers are dumb enough to think this means something apparently

I’m grunching, but Elon paid $44 billion for Twitter to turn it into OnlyFans, which has a valuation of… $1 billion.
GJGE!
I’m also questioning it. I tried to find further substantiation in the replies and quote tweets, but wasn’t able to find anything. Now the author of the tweet has limited who can see their tweets, so I can’t see it anymore.
Ya, I feel bad for people getting fired, but their “ethics” team let Nazis shit up the place for years.

Probably academic now, but I just wonder how many elections in a row it would take for Dems to be called socialist no matter what they do before they could actually redistribute the money with no change to the narrative.
I am definitely a reply guy.

Doesn’t the debt thing kind of take business as normal off the table? Twitter has to change, at least in the making revenue department, otherwise it’s sinking, right?
Elon Musk is convinced he can turn Twitter into the WeChat of the US (and I’m sure other countries). Even if releasing trolls et al we’re his main desires, he surely justified it to himself with that he will turn it in to an indispensable tool for the country.
From the business side it’s that simple. Who cares how much he paid for it if the upside is 95% of the country using the app all day.
He’s deluding himself for sure, but everything else is a side show to troll the establishment over trivial stuff.
Will a reasonably moderated Twitter alternative emerge and get adopted in the near future?

Check the likes and replies. If the most liked/replied to aren’t at the top, then yeah. But I don’t think that’s the case.
I think no one really likes Ben Shapiro, even on the right. So all the replies are dragging him. Same with Ted Cruz.
By contrast James Woods feed is pretty much all fanboys supporting him. There might be a reply or two that bashes him, but it’s not magically put at the top for me.

This is the new American Dream. You can’t have good healthcare, reasonable equality in income/wealth, or much hope in those regards. But you can gleefully watch asshole billionaires torch $40 billion on vanity investments gone awry, and the satisfaction you get from that won’t solve your medical problems, but it’ll make you feel good for a few minutes! GOD BLESS THE USA!

It does as long as it’s only one metric and they never ever let you know they’re looking at it. The second devs know # of commits (or lines of code) are being looked at, get ready for a ton of crap.
You could have some way of filtering out only task-level commits. But then people would be fighting for the easiest tasks and fighting not to get the gnarly ones, when it should be the other way around.
If TFG reappears on Twitter I think its a yes. If people’s personal twitter experiences get worse its a yes.
But its pretty unlikely both of those things happen I think and that’s only because of course its not like this dude bought it with his own cash, he has lenders to answer to and they’re going to want their money.
