Elon Musk is trying to get control of key payment system—at any cost

  • Yeah, it's been a major disappointment seeing how utterly cowardly Americans are. Europeans take to the streets for far less.

    • Nearly half of Danes see US as threat and 78% oppose Greenland sale, poll shows

    Jump

  • The article doesn't show the full data but there's probably a good chunk of "don't know / not sure" in that 22%.

    • Don't worry, Mass Effect 5 is totally fine, EA reassures as BioWare downsizes, moving 'many' employees to other studios

    Jump

  • I like NMS but it's just about the opposite of the polished writing that the first 2.75 Mass Effect games delivered.

  • That's a good point, but at least the views would reflect those of the majority rather than being algorithmically-manipulated as on Twitter or Facebook.

  • "I'd rather watch a YouTube video by some rando rather than read an actual news article," said no one ever.

  • Posted on Twitter. That'll show Elon!

  • Isn't it weird how much harder it is for them to tip the scales on Lemmy and Mastodon, platforms without algorithms designed by right-wing billionaires?

    • Alternatives for each of Proton's tools?

    Jump

  • He made one tweet

    A tweet and then several posts form the official Proton account. Furthermore his comments were so obviously badly informed both about the US government and the nature of his userbase that he clearly lacks the critical thinking to run the company.

    Also because no one mentioned them yet, Filen is great as a Drive replacement, and unlike Proton they have a Linux app.

    • Advertisers Aren’t Thrilled With Zuckerberg’s Embrace Of Hate Speech

  • It seems very reckless to have studdingsails out in those conditions... Bad seamanship.

    • Advertisers Aren’t Thrilled With Zuckerberg’s Embrace Of Hate Speech

    Jump

  • Other than myself I only know one other person who has quit Facebook over this, so I very much doubt that advertisers will stay away. It took a lot more for them to leave Twitter, even after Elon told them to fuck off and sued them for not advertising on his platform.

  • Hell Nvidia’s stock plummeted as well, which makes no sense at all, considering Deepseek needs the same hardware as ChatGPT.

    Common wisdom said that these models need CUDA to run properly, and DeepSeek doesn't.

    • Minnesota Pride group raises $50,000 after dropping Target as a sponsor

  • I've never heard of Minnesota Pride groups before. Are they Minnesotan supremacists?

    • Proton Mail says it’s “politically neutral” while praising Republican Party

    Jump

  • I use it with aliases for online signups, so the genericness is a feature, not a bug.

    • Proton Mail says it’s “politically neutral” while praising Republican Party

    Jump

  • It is hard. I made up a name that sounds like it would be a webmail provider (it has "mail" in the name).

    • Proton Mail says it’s “politically neutral” while praising Republican Party

    Jump

  • I totally get that; I have three domains (work, personal, and one only for online services / aliases)

    • Proton Mail says it’s “politically neutral” while praising Republican Party

  • Email is already bad for privacy, and WHOIS protection solves most of the rest. And obviously don't buy a personally-identifiable domain if that's a concern.
