badwolf··on Elon Musk's X removes New York Times' verification badge
The theory gains more credibility to me every time I see journalists screeching about how they can't use search on Threads to find out what "people" are saying.
badwolf··on X/Twitter will begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features
Elon is combining a major social media platform amplification service with a $1 stolen credit card verification service for carders and fraudsters! What could go wrong!
badwolf··on Microsoft SEC 8-K: IRS is seeking an additional tax payment of $29B
At this moment, I'd estimate a fair share being approximately $29 billion.
badwolf··on Microsoft SEC 8-K: IRS is seeking an additional tax payment of $29B
This is for the time period 2004-2013
badwolf··on Valve says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS not happening, there aren't enough players
which also charges similarly.
badwolf··on Addictive cheap and controversial: the rise of China’s Temu app
A few people doing that can make an enormous difference on a small local shop.
badwolf··on X rolls out new ad format that can't be reported, blocked
Elon is literally the ultimate target user for "Pay-for-attention" schemes. He literally spent $44 Billion Dollars to drive attention to himself.
badwolf··on X rolls out new ad format that can't be reported, blocked
Do you live in a box?

Twitter used to fight _actual_ censorship. From governments demanding things be taken down. Musk rolls over like a puppy for China, India, Turkiye, etc...

badwolf··on Generative AI could make search harder to trust
I had this exact experience, with this same question, and saw that same bullshit "article." Truly frustrating all around.
badwolf··on Facebook/Meta blocks accounts for posting link to EFF privacy tips
This would be my first thought... This doesn't seem the link itself, but maybe something else - perhaps other logins with that account, since it seems to be a not-person account. Maybe they should have a Page for their business instead of a named account? Definitely needs more info.
badwolf··on Apple exec Eddy Cue set to testify in Google trial about $19B search deal
I've always thought of these payments more as Google paying Apple to not build their own search engine.

They've kind of been building all the pieces over the years with spotlight integrations/etc...

badwolf··on Musk Wanted to Spy on Drivers to Defend Tesla from Lawsuits
They probably do. Elon's other company apparently has a global map view of every starlink tereminal and it's exact location that he watches. Why anyone would trust a product of his beats me...
badwolf··on Twitter competitor Bluesky hits 1M users, proves it's superior to Threads
Until someone can just... sign up for an account on BlueSky, it will never be superior to anything.
badwolf··on Sag-AFTRA votes unanimously to expand its strike to include the games industry
You should consider unionizing.
badwolf··on PSA: Don't base your business around Discord.7yr account banned for posting ASNs
This piece seems to be missing for some unknown reason. What is the purpose of posting ASN and ISP physical addresses?
badwolf··on X violated its own policy by blocking First Amendment group’s ads
The owner himself is against transitioning, so it only seems right to deadname his company.
badwolf··on None of us are truly living off the grid
anecdotally, every prepper type I personally know falls under that category (the petty vindictive hope of everyone else getting screwed while they have the last laugh)
badwolf··on Tesla asked officials to redact info of driver-assistance in use during crashes
Tesla, who also created an internal team with the sole purpose to cancel service appointments and to thwart range complaints... I don't believe anything they have to say.

badwolf··on Learn as you search (and browse) using generative AI
I'm just waiting for the shitty recipe sites to start hiding the recipes in the content...

<wall of text useless content>

<start of bulleted ingredients list>

* Rosemary - I remember the first time smelling fresh rosemary, it was the spring of 1989 and I was in my dear aunties kitchen...

* 1 boneless skinless chicken brest - Chicken breasts are a common ingredient in many dishes throughout the world. This hearty chunk of meat contains a high amount of protein and is quite versatile...

badwolf··on Zuck says he gave Musk an August 26 fight date but he’s ‘not holding my breath’
because the (con)man is incapable of being wrong about anything, or ever admitting he's out of his element, and has his army of online weirdos who will defend every dumb thing that spews forth from him without question.
badwolf··on Elon Musk promises to pay legal bills for anyone fired based on Tweets
Didn't they just announce that they can't pay out their creators their 'rev share'

Have they paid their fired/laid off employees severance yet? Their rent? Their cloud bills? etc...

badwolf··on Jeremy Vaught spent 16 years to build @music on Twitter, then X took it away
It's not _your_ domain unless the registrar belongs to you...
badwolf··on Jeremy Vaught spent 16 years to build @music on Twitter, then X took it away
If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Ultimately, you're going to depend on other parties behaving in a common interest, whether that's your email provider, your ISP, your registrar, anyone accepting your ip address announcements...

badwolf··on Modern action films fetishize the body even as they desexualize it (2021)
also consider, the more edits a movie needs, the more expensive it is going to be to produce and distribute
badwolf··on Modern action films fetishize the body even as they desexualize it (2021)
One of John Waters' favorites.
badwolf··on Creators on X (Twitter) will now get 100% of the revenue payout forever
I don't believe this is for _ad_ revenue share, but for subscription revenue, ie, if you subscribe to a 'creator' they get paid for that (think OnlyFans, Twitch, etc...)
badwolf··on Dear websites, stop asking for ransom sign-ups
And you're forever on their "mailing list" because they don't process unsubscribes, since they probably just manually upload a .csv of everyone every time they want to send something to you, whether you ever opted in, or not.
badwolf··on Stable Diffusion XL 1.0
Can SD draw hands finally?
badwolf··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
> try to arrest the free-fall

Important to remember that he is the one who pushed the Twitter car over the cliff into financial free-fall with his leveraged buyout.

badwolf··on Microsoft faces antitrust scrutiny from the EU over Teams, Office 365
I will never understand how anyone thought "ctrl shift C" was a good idea to start a call -_-
