    In 1995, Musk and his brother, Kimbal, started Zip2, a web software company, with US$28,000 of their father’s (Errol Musk) money

    Tesla Motors was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who financed the company until the Series A round of funding. Both men played active roles in the company’s early development prior to Elon Musk’s involvement.

    Responding to a screenshot of a CNN headline that read, “2% of Elon Musk’s wealth could help solve world hunger, says director of UN food scarcity organization,” Musk tweeted that if the U.N. World Food Program “can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.”

    WFP director David Beasley called his bluff, and actually outlined how the organization would use the $6.6 billion. Musk, who is worth approximately $239.2 billion, never responded to Beasley.

    Nomecks ,

    I hate Elon, but the point he was trying to make about the $6b for world hunger is that the world is so corrupt it would never work.

    Cruxifux ,

    It’s corrupt because of people like him.

    onionbaggage ,

    God. Can you imagine how much better his reputation would be if he just said. “okay, let’s go”

    I feel like that’s how Twitter is, at least that’s what I remember from years ago when I tried it, didn’t recognize anyone there and just walked away. I don’t mind seeing strangers sometimes when I’m bored with my normal feed and want to see something new, but it seemed to be the default behavior for me and I didn’t care to learn how to fix it.

    RagingRobot , to fediverse in Lemmy.world reaches new milestone: 100k users and counting!

    The third party app I used for reddit said that this is the platform they were going to focus on. That’s why I came. Those are the people I want to support. The people that make the experience better. Once they release an app I’ll buy it first day

    Parakeet ,

    Sync for reddit show such message, can’t waut for it to switch to Lemmy.

    Also feel free to support Lemmy itself by donating to the project

    rr1991 ,

    Yep, same. That’s why I’m here now. On the Connect app though, but it feels similar to Sync.

    Don’t they have body cams?

    EdibleFriend ,
    @EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

    7 states require them right now. Thats it. Most are still fighting saying that if the police are on camera they can’t do their job.

    cogman ,

    It’s not a perfect solution either. There have been plenty of instances where cops “forget to turn on” or “accidently block” their cams. Even cases where, mysteriously, the cams are “accidentally” damaged or the data “corrupted”.

    Unfortunately seems like the only defense for these cases is livestreaming police interactions.

    Cop unions should be illegal. (All other unions are fine)

    tentphone ,

    Requirements for officers to wear body cameras are meaningless without significant penalties for turning them off when on duty

    SirNuke ,
    @SirNuke@kbin.social avatar

    Absolutely, and you can generalize that to any sort of requirements are worthless if they don't have as much teeth as the power they are trying to check.

    donut4ever ,
    @donut4ever@lemmy.world avatar

    All unions should be as good as cops unions. It’s funny how the government is fighting against unions, but they themselves have unions.

    Well, when your job is to menace the communities you are supposedly charged with protecting, all that extra attention can really be a bother.

    You mean the broken once or those with empty batteries?

    MostlyBirds ,
    @MostlyBirds@lemmy.world avatar

    Rarely, yes, but the technology to create a body cam that functions reliably when near police officers hasn’t been developed yet.

    Current models waste space, weight, and durability by including an "off" button.

    johnthebeboptist ,

    They’re blocking the dashcam or something? I think.

    Maybe it gives them more cover when they’re putting mag after mag into an unarmed black guy who is running away?

    Blamemeta ,

    About 4(? Mightve been 5) years ago, some cops lifted their hoods and planted some drugs. (Or at least was the claim.)

    Moonrise2473 ,

    And then the case was thrown in the court because there was no logic reason to keep both hoods open during a search, right? …

    Guys?

    solrize , to mildlyinfuriating in Online dating

    Afraid to say, I don’t get this. What app is it supposed to be? I don’t remember what song I saved last. Am I supposed to admit that, or just name a song? Which person in the cartoon is supposed to be the annoying one? There both seem annoying to me. Yes the white on yellow is very hard to read. BTW I have no idea who Elliot Smith is.

    HardlightCereal ,

    The last music I downloaded was the entire album Raksha, by Bloodywood. The final song in the album would be Chakh Le, which is a really fun Indian metal song about rising up against the owning class

    Wayren ,

    Freaking love those guys. Always happy to see another fan!

    jaykstah ,

    Ayy I got into Bloodywood a little while back, they’re pretty sick. Haven’t gone through a lot of their catalog but cool to see them mentioned, seems like their fanbase has been growing a ton over the past year

    HardlightCereal ,

    I got into them recently and loved their music. Then I started listening to the lyrics, and went “woah, based”. So I went on Wikipedia to learn more. Wikipedia says Bloodywood as a band aren’t political, and I was disappointed, but hey, nobody’s perfect. Then I watched the music video for Gaddaar which starts with “we’re not political, honest” and ends with “in the face of fascism, it is impossible to remain politically neutral”

    Bloodywood are the coolest band I’ve ever heard

    FeatherConstrictor , (edited )

    This looks to me like a dating app called bumble where, for man/woman matches, the woman is supposed to initiate the conversation.

    You can check which song you last saved on Spotify (for example) by just looking at the top song on your liked songs, but the question is just to get to know each other; even a “i don’t remember what song I saved last but I’ve been really interested in [so and so artist] lately” would be a totally sufficient answer.

    Because of the extreme evasiveness, elitism and condescending tone of yellow, yellow is supposed to be the annoying one. In my opinion, white just seems to be trying to continue the conversation and encourage yellow to open up about their music tastes to get to know them.

    solrize ,

    Aha, so yellow is the guy in that convo. I hadn’t seen bumble before. I don’t use Spotify either, but I get the idea. Thanks.

    Feirdro ,

    You sound like yellow in this conversation, not understanding that dating is about getting to know someone from the outside in. You gotta start somewhere, like a favorite song. You can’t jump straight to childhood trauma or politics or something or it will never work. Trust takes time.

    solrize ,

    It sounded pushy to me when the person kept pressing the song question after yellow deflected it, but ok. Thanks.

    Feirdro ,

    First, they’re gobsmacked that they wouldn’t answer it. Then it becomes obvious it’s a red flag. Finally they know they’ll never meet this person in real life, so why not fuck with them.

    I’m saying, it’s a journey.

    solrize ,

    Ic, makes sense. Tell me something else, do those “normies” (I haven’t met very many) actually have substantial text conversations on those annoying on screen phone keyboards? I can stand one or two texts that way, but then want to move to a real computer.

    Feirdro ,

    Yeah, for sure. People will just tap away literally all day.

    Jasontheguitarist , to linux in MATE DE

    I never liked two panel. Back when Gnome 2 was around I would always combine them into one bar at the bottom. Seems like wasted vertical space to have two when one can do the same stuff.

    Point noted

    Jasontheguitarist ,

    Not really a point to be made, just a preference.

    @roofuskit@kbin.social avatar

    I actually think this might be a violation of the developer agreement for the play store. You should report the app and see what happens.

    The ideal solution would be to just not buy Starbucks.

    sadreality ,

    Voting with your feet and money is one of the first thing we can do as consumers since voting as a citizen is largely a futile excerise.

    yourgodlucifer ,

    Tbf voting with money also seems futile

    sadreality ,

    Correct, most of our spending is going to duopolies, landlords and gas...

    Not much choice there but we can still kinda do it with the discretionary spending. I am sure that will be eroded too within our life times.

    @garrett@infosec.pub avatar

    I’m not usually big on boycotts since corporations are entrenched enough that they need gov’t intervention to do anything meaningful but the totality of the circumstances and the likelihood of a better local coffee shop in your area would tell me to skip the awful Starbucks setup.

    roofuskit ,
    @roofuskit@kbin.social avatar

    If the best way to patronize them is inconvenient I would hardly call it a boycott. I'd call that basic capitalism.
