eqbridges··on Musk’s inner circle worked through weekend to cement Twitter layoff plans
You're missing my point. There's no use in trying to debate whether or not any one person is being fired "for cause" or not...frankly I could care less whether the one item of hearsay you point at is credible or not.

What I'm trying to wade through is the vast oceans of nonsense being fielded in the media and in comments that do not add anything to the story and are just trying to prop up one side or another. There's an ocean of difference between one item of hearsay that you point out (hell, maybe that one EM was due to be fired "for cause" who knows? do you? I sure don't!), and 25% of the workforce being fired "for cause", and 4 executives (not 3 as you point out).

What you're saying does not make any sense relative to the question asked.

Can you cite where it’s been said he’s firing 25% (or any significant percentage) “for cause”?

The only parties being cited as fired for cause are the outgoing executives, and WaPo article at the top of this post provides reasons for that.

eqbridges··on Beauty at the intersection of humanity and AI images
The results from this are really stunning.
eqbridges··on Jean-Luc Godard has died
OP was simply referring to nominees as best picture in the Oscars between 55-65 to make his point.
eqbridges··on Show HN: AI-Generated Illustrations of Plants
Reminds me of the work called “Herbarium” by Spanish artist Joan Fontcuberta: https://www.juanmagonzalez.com/fontcuberta/herbarium.html
eqbridges··on Stripe Reader
Not to mention that “to swipe” has connotations of stealing as well.
eqbridges··on Elementary Calculus: An Infinitesimal Approach (2000)
Is there an online course covering this?
eqbridges··on NSA Improperly Collected U.S. Phone Records a Second Time
The majority of that document you link to is blacked out. Which part of it exactly are you referring to when you say it's clear that the NSA was in the clear on this?
eqbridges··on My Quest to Build the Ultimate Music Player
Great idea for a project! I too was a big fan of Amarok, and have been disappointed by music players since having used it.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned, which Amarok, excelled at but other players haven't, was dealing with large (>100gb) collections hosted over a network. Hopefully you'll include this in your testing. As well Amarok allowed you to store metadata in arbitrary databases (which QT had support for) hosted on a network, thus allowing for metadata to be shared by computers for a given account. Quite common nowadays is to use SQLite locally; however SQLite does not support working over a network :-/

Anyway, kudos and fare-thee-well!
