He's right, there's no "casual" connection. In fact, it's a definite connection.

Have you also tried using Signal instead of WhatsApp? Sorry, had to do it.

That's a glowing recommendation of Signal. And a good reminder to donate. I'm doing it right now.

Elon? Lying? For his own benefit? No way

You mean tech shouldn't regulate itself? Shocker.

This would essentially require you to not communicate outside of Signal.

Celebrity/billionaire worship. Just no. It means their values are wildly erratic.

This is how you become a trillionaire. Nothing has been stopping them from being a monopoly, so why stop now.

If they are allowed to do it, then it's hard to blame them. They have free reign to do everything. Destroying the environment, obliterating competition, and enshittifying their own products along the way.

Welcome to the ~~future~~ now.

Don't threaten us with a good time!

Right. This goes for every company, ever. No company is going to do what they should do if it's not profitable or beneficial to them in some way. It makes sense if you think about it, but that's also why regulation exists. So that they don't become too unhinged.

So when the existential threat is made public, it'll already be in the palm of his hand. Wonderful.

Originally I thought I could, but no. Because when I listen to the music, I'm giving that artist money, attention, and power.

That results in giving them a bigger platform to spew their bigoted opinions/actions is counterintuitive to my goals. I would rather not.
