GlendatheGayWitch , in Elon Musk says users on X, formerly Twitter, will lose ability to block unwanted followers, eliminating key safety feature

I had to read that headline twice, at first I thought it was specifying users on ecstasy. That’s such a bad name

Great.

deleted , in Numerous Tesla owners say they've been trapped inside their EVs after they lost power. Here's how to manually open a Tesla door if you get stuck inside.

The new Lexus RX has this door tech as well. I couldn’t open the door in the showroom.

Walked out of Lexus right away.

alienanimals , in Nickelback, Chris Brown, and other stars scored $200 million in taxpayer funds meant to keep arts groups afloat during the pandemic. They won't say what they did with the money.

Free money for the rich and the poor get nothing. Sounds about right.

Bakkoda ,

Hey hey how you got those handful of stimulus payouts which were totally responsible for all the problems we now face. People still haven’t gone back to work after they got all that money for free

Every time I see Chris Brown’s name, I’m reminded that this piece of shit is still rich and famous. People are disappointing.

fne8w2ah ,

And a wifebeater too ffs! 🤬🤬🤬

El_illuminacho ,

Yah, that’s kind of why he’s referenced to as a piece of shit.

Yeah… I bailed on him when just how awful he was came out. Granted, I bought some Chuck Berry stuff recently and he was no saint from the looks of it… People are complicated

Burn_The_Right , in Numerous Tesla owners say they've been trapped inside their EVs after they lost power. Here's how to manually open a Tesla door if you get stuck inside.

I don’t normally use the word “literally”, but… Teslas are literally death traps. Their door releases are all extremely hidden and impossible to locate if you haven’t been trained to find them. It’s like they are trying to kill people.

ogeist ,

Woah, buddy don’t think like that, let me reset that neural link for you.

Have a nice day.

brad , in Elon Musk says users on X, formerly Twitter, will lose ability to block unwanted followers, eliminating key safety feature

What in the actual fuck? Does he have to collapse the ambling corpse even further so he can discover why the ability to block existed and then re-invent it but shittier to convince himself it’s necessary?

Hexagon ,

Don’t worry, it will come back as a paid feature. Isn’t he a marketing genius?

GBU_28 , in Air travel has gotten more violent. Flight attendants want training to fight back.

They just need an alert that says “seat 21c is being a fuckwit, all charges below murder and permanent disfigurement and injury are temporarily suspended. Subdue 21c!”

Then a red light turns on and doom music starts playing, and duct tape drops out of all the overheads.

Guarantee most riders would be immediately at their feet with duct tape in hand

Squids ,

Only if we get to have the full train plane battler experience

polygon , in Blue light blocking glasses may not actually help with eye strain or sleep quality, researchers find
@polygon@kbin.social avatar

I don't know about glasses but the various Night Mode applications help my eyes a lot at night. I use a soft white bulb (4200k) and match my screens to the same temp and I have noticed much less eye strain/pain. Whether that helps sleep or not I have no idea, but it's certainly more comfortable on my 4k tv/monitor that wants to blast 800 nits into my face at 11:00pm. I use an application called Iris on both macOS (when connected to the tv) and Linux (always connected to the tv) to adjust the color temp and also the brightness because this tv simply doesn't get dark enough on it's own without messing with color or contrast. You can offset the reddish hue by increasing the green tint, which is a color that doesn't mess with your eyes or ruin your night vision.

iHUNTcriminals ,

I agree. It does something for me.

The bigger thing in my case is just not using dopamine apps like social media within 2 hours of bedtime.

Sodis ,

I got night mode on all screen devices and it completely fixed my sleep issues. I used to take an hour at least to fall asleep, now it’s like 15min. Also, during holidays I do not push my sleep cycle to 5am anymore.

Honestly if you’re still using Twitter, you’re an idiot.

Sharpiemarker ,

Or a grifter

Lanky_Pomegranate530 OP ,
@Lanky_Pomegranate530@lemmy.world avatar

I agree with with you. I don’t understand why anyone would still want to use this platform considering that their are better alternatives such as Mastadon and BlueSky. Hell even threads is better than twitter and that shit is invasive as fuck.

ArugulaZ ,

How do you even get a Blowski account, anyway? I guess they give out invitations, but they're slow to do it.

veloxization ,
@veloxization@yiffit.net avatar

People on the platform can generate invites at some intervals and send them to friends. That’s my understanding, while I don’t know for certain as I personally am avoiding the platform due to not trusting Dorsey at the helm. But I’m still keeping an eye on it with popcorn ready.

They don’t matter on an individual level. They do matter for keeping relevant content at the top.

Tedesche , in Elon Musk says users on X, formerly Twitter, will lose ability to block unwanted followers, eliminating key safety feature

I honestly could not be happier at how Musk is destroying Twitter as a platform. Think there’s any way to convince him to buy Meta?

Some people just need something to believe in.
