Computers Is Chiefsplanet seriously going to outlive Twitter? - Page 13

Chiefspants · 11-17-2022, 11:30 PM

This might be destined for DC, but for some reason this will feel like a major achievement on this website if that happens.

Forums like this have taken a huge hit with social media. Out of the Tech, Life, Music, Baseball and Nintendo forums I was a part of in high school, it's amazing that this is the place that not only survived, but it still thriving (while outliving and far suprassing the Chargers, Raiders, and Bronco forum equivalents).

Cheers.

“Anyone who actually writes software, please report to the 10th floor at 2 p.m. today,” he wrote in a two-paragraph message, which was viewed by The New York Times. “Thanks, Elon.”

After XX many years of the grind you’ve earned the right to say nahh I’m gonna pass. Anyone 40 and younger has no excuse brother.

You can stop putting/changing the oil on your car, remove the seat belts and airbags, never replace the tires, etc...

Things will keep running just as before, until they don't...

Its By design and lets not pretend anyone has any idea what is going on beind the scense. They were bleeding money. A lot of others in here simply don't like it because the platform isn't ran anymore by one side of the political isle. Before musk,Twitter was completely swinging one way and these people had no qualms about it, defended it. Now it's ran by someone who is not abiding by the same biased political viewpoint Twitter was operating by and it's HES SCUM!!!.

I don't give a **** about musk but it is truly hilarious watching the last few days the utterly hypocrisy from the people who said StArT yOuR oWn pLaTfOrM if you don't like it. This includes politicians who now want to open investigation.

FFS i just wish people weren't so brainwashed and could see this stuff.

Has it always been this way? Are people utterly incapable of seeing things for what they are and not only what their political views have to coincide with? I hate the world today.

1. Twitter had financial problems before Elon.

2. The power social media companies have is disturbing, at least to me. Outside of name and shame, boycott, or start your own, not a lot to be done and certainly not a lot to be discussed outside of DC.

3. I don't see that Elon is playing his cards very well, but I suppose we will have to give the rookie-media-owner more than two weeks to make or break...

Agree with all.

Social media is responsible for a lot of the mental health issues we have today there's plenty of documentaries about it. I think or hope one day a study is done and we will realize the impact the cess pools have had on humans and society. Probably already is but no one cares because the narcissims is addicitng. Selfies, filters, likes, constant contact, so much self worth wrapped up in that shit you see now adays. People out there airing thier dirty laundry. People weren't meant to live their lives like that. What does that do to a society when your self worth is wrapped into your social media timeline?

Abso-****ing-lutely

It is rotting our brains and I think those in charge of these media know it, want to fight it but ultimately can’t bring themselves to do it because they can’t stop themselves from wanting to monetize it. It’s one thing to be addicted but even worse to have algorithms that can specifically manipulate you.

A new topic will start every day, but previous topics will have a life of two weeks. State your case and move on.

The argument points will start out easy and then progress.

For example:

Day 1: 1+1 = 2
Day 2: The sky is blue
.
.
.
To more sophisticated issues
.
.
Day 2+n: The series 1+2+3+4+5+... = -1/12

Might be a money maker.

Elon has now seen your idea and is working feverously to gain copyright protections.
