oh look, its the same time as that stopped clock.
29.2 tweets a day?
At a rate of 10,658 tweets a year, I’d hope he tweets at least one useful thing
Tesla board member and close Musk confidant Antonio Gracias once took Musk’s phone away to prevent him from tweeting late into the night, Isaacson said during a Twitter Spaces event on Wednesday.
“At one point when Elon was firing off tweets without filtering them in the least, they were on a trip and Antonio took his iPhone — Elon’s iPhone — and locked it in the hotel safe with Antonio punching in the code so that Elon couldn’t get up at 3 a.m. and start tweeting again,” Isaacson said, describing Gracias as “one of Elon’s closest friends.”
Musk later got hotel security to open the safe at around 3 a.m. so he could start tweeting again, Isaacson said.
The biographer added that Musk is “almost addicted to the drama that comes with Twitter” and sees owning Twitter as a way he can be “king of the playground.”
“It’s something he loves — loves almost to the point of compulsion,” Isaacson said, adding that some of his friends, including his brother Kimbal Musk, attempted to convince him not to buy Twitter.

Nope.
Last year’s winner was Amber Heard in Overwatch cosplay

The brilliant businessman is clearly hard at work.
Put your money where your mouth is and open source the Tesla software. Do it. I fuckin’ dare ya.
Edit: we want Falcon 9’s landing guidance software too.
Open sourcing the falcon 9 software would almost definitely be a violation of ITAR… On second thought it would be fun to see him go to prison.
Nothing could possibly go wrong open sourcing a
misslerocket guidance system…Source code is protected under 1st
That’s like saying state secrets are protected under the 1st lol
I don’t think it’s true
Source code is
I think there has always been and always will be exceptions for military technology.
Oh yeah I forgot about the first anyways the guy who really killed JFK is
No, not just open, free it entirely. License the code under a GPL license.
It’ll probably be MIT… just like the rest of the corps.
I want a world where anyone can go to space. It the thing I wanna do the most. But I’m not rich and I’m no super smart and I have awful health.
I know what you mean, but if it’s any consolation, you are in space.
I want to be in space by myself
Blanket fort?
How do you know you aren’t alone?
I mean, you right lol
We gotta figure out a better way than strapping ourselves to a continuously exploding bomb and pulling some serious Gs for 8 minutes.
Wonder how some of those SSTO space plane projects are doing…there was a British one I can’t remember. Used hybrid air-breathing scramjets, switching to internal oxidizer once it was going fast and high enough.
Edit: here is is and I was mistaken it’s not a SCRAMjet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylon_(spacecraft)
Space planes carry along heavy-as-fuck wings, control surfaces and a lot of other bullshit that’s only useful inside the atmosphere, and which massively increase fuel consumption for every single maneuver while your space plane is actually where you want it to do stuff - in space. And the only benefit is that the atmosphere helps lift and fuel your vehicle to about 10% of orbital velocity. The other 90% it will have to accelerate just like any other rocket.
The SpaceX approach is much better: Land and reuse all parts of your rocket, but don’t carry them with you further than where they’re useful. Rockets leave the atmosphere where wings would work within a few minutes anyway.
Yeah but…most people’s grandparents aren’t going to be riding rockets. This isn’t sustainable for widespread access to space.
Do you really want countries like North Korea, Iran and China having access to software that would certainly be used for missile guidance?
Why not. If everyone has it, everyone will be afraid to use it, because they know everyone else has it, but what they don’t know is how many have developed a working prototype.
Ehh, mutually assured destruction has worked so far, but there are some crazy assholes out there who might not act rationally.
Yes like in America gun violence never happens because everyone has guns.
Hmmm
Please don’t fucking touch anything to do with Linux Musk. Please.
Crazy, rich South Africans is how we got Ubuntu
But would you like to upgrade to Ubuntu pro?
Ubuntu pro is not at all a bad thing. It’s free to consumers but you can also just ignore it if you don’t need it.
Can we disable the prompt?
The ssh prompt? I think you just need to mess with the files in /etc/update-motd.d
The prompt on the desktop that says there and pending updates that can only be installed with Pro.
Ubuntu is a gateway drug to Arch.
And arch is a gateway drug to NixOS or gentoo
Select your drug now
I smoke my Linux with a filter.
Ah, a Zorin user
I have selected Fedora. Where did I go wrong?
Something something IBM something
I’m an Arch user flirting with the idea of NixOS. Is it too late to save me?
Hes to far gone SMH
I ran nix for awhile and it was super stable, i just kinda got bored of using it. I know its really powerful with nixpills and flakes.
Funny Gentoo actually was my gateway to arch. Loved the customizability of Gentoo and the rolling release model.
But building Chrome and Firefox (I needed both for work reasons sometimes) every update was the nail in the coffin. Switched to Arch and didn’t miss a thing.
Could you elaborate on this for those of us who don’t know the context?
Canonical, the company that is responsible for Ubuntu, was founded by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth to sell B2B Linux tech support.
Credit where it’s due, Shuttleworth has been to space.
Ubuntu
Linux Musk sounds like the evil counterpart to Mint. A fork of Red Star OS, etc.
Linux Musk Cinnamon. Yours for a modest subscription.
Eww, we stepped in some Elon… 🤢
oh, so that’s why its so musky in here
Welp, off to macOS now. Sorry guys I can’t be a part of this community anymore.
Too expensive for me. FreeBSD it is!
Plan 9, here I go!
Fuck off Musk.
The nice thing about Linux is, he can’t buy it and fuck it up.
He can still fuck up the community.
How?
He’ll claim he invented it
Well, he at least invented X11…
Let me put it to you this way.
Elon Musk fanboys, now running arch.
Just… Let that simmer for a minute.
Anyone smart enough to run Arch is smart enough to recognize Elon is an imbecile.
As a complete idiot who uses arch on her main PC, I can attest that you don’t have to be particularly smart to use it.
Take it from me, people who openly say they’re idiots usually aren’t. Socrates: I now know I know nothing.
You say that, but I’ll be more than willing to try and sell him a copy of the source code.
For extra irony, sell him an NFT to the source code.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org
He’ll realise his own distro and call it OS X.
LinuX
The lawsuits would be hilarious.
This is good work.
Fuck. That does it. I’m off to BSD.
Quick, someone pretend to be “the Linux company” and convince him to buy it!
Noo, I don’t want Linux to be sold to Elon…
inbefore Musk-OS
My money is on MusX
XOS
OS X
Wait a second…
forks Hannah Montana
Linusk
That’s just him blatantly copying or rebranding windows
Is it purely because Linux has the letter “X” in it?
First thing he’ll do is write Torvalds and suggest a minor change to the naming.
given Linus’ flair for writing replies, I would love to see him rip into Elon.
LinuX: in honor of the LinuX Foundation’s new sponsor, X.
