The article doesn’t even show an example of a finished Frankenstein laptop. 😑

Interesting… That’s exactly Trump’s discourse from 2020 when he refused to admit defeat to Biden. Back then this attitude was parroted as “a threat to democracy”. Now, in 2025, it’s fair game saying his government is illegitimate?

Sorry, English is not my first language. What I meant is that some may see him as wacky and irreverent.

What I see is Elon haters clinging to this salute as if it’s the one silver bullet that will somehow make him lose Trump’s or the Republicans’ support. But their insistence on this is like preaching to the choir, as right-wingers simply don’t care—some even like Elon more for being gutsy.

If that’s all they’ve got on Elon, then he’s sure to keep his job at DOGE. And Trump is laughing all the way to the bank, as the anti-Elon sentiment shields him from criticism, as social media’s attention is mostly spent on Elon instead of Trump.

People voted for this “dismantling”. If you ask, Trump voters seem pretty satisfied on this regard.

Elon and Trump’s actions are indeed more nationalist, but we should not confuse it with nazism, that had nationalism as one of its traits but was much more than that. The genocidal part is what makes them evil, not the nationalism part.

If we take seriously the notion that nationalism = nazism, then China would qualify.

People will see what they want to see. Even if Elon discovered the cure to all types of cancer, people would still nitpick anything about him to justify their hate.

He bent his whole body to give a salute. It was quite off-center and awkward, not really like the nazi salute as seen on historical videos of Hitler, which is a much more deliberate and aligned hand motion in relation to the body. If Elon time traveled to Hitler rallies and did this salute, he’d be reprimanded for doing it all wrong.

Yeah, because if he’s indeed a nazi, he’s pretty incompetent at converting people into nazism. Some politicians such as Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris have done a hand gesture that resembles the nazi salute in their political rallies, but nobody at the time screamed they were dog whistling nazi symbology. Raising one’s hand to salute the audience is just a natural gesture, not some intricate gesture that’s exclusive to a bonafide nazi apologist.

That’s also hugely in part because Apple develops Webkit at a snails pace. Some say they gimp their own rendring engine so that it isn’t competitive with native applications from the App Store. This way, there’s less incentive for developers to make web-apps to avoid the 30% app store tax.

I use Firefox as my main browser on Android, and all apps that invoke a WebView do so using Firefox’s rendering engine, with uBlock Origin and Dark Reader working seamlessly. So, maybe this info about Firefox for Android lacking WebView support is outdated?

Exemple after clicking a link on Twitter/X:

If not for this, they’d certainly impose the block with another excuse. They just don’t like Elon.

So you’re set to automatically complain unless the fact-check aligns perfectly with your worldview?

The old system of using fact-checking agencies was biased, and the content they deemed false had its reach negatively impacted. They were literally the arbiters of truth, and their actions silenced their political opponents’ voices. The new system of Community Notes is superior because it requires approval from people with diverse political alignments to show a fact-check to everyone.

It’s easy to be bold when the US president is weak. I don’t think they’d ban X if Trump was president at the time.

As long as it keeps censoring its citizens, everthing fine! 🙄

I always wondered what’s the source of this GIF…

For me, the page doesn’t allow me to scroll past the first sentence of the article.

Maybe it’s because I’m using mobile Firefox with uBO? I only managed to read the article through here.

I’d argue Lemmy is turning into its own echo chamber. I’ve seen some mods power tripping just like good old Reddit. I erroneously thought people would learn from past mistakes, but sadly this is not what happened.

In other words: the judge issued an order that affects everyone, not only the parties involved in the judicial process, and without the need for each affected individual to be formally notified so he/she can know how to avoid being fined. So, he basically legislated by himself. No wonder people are saying he’s a dictator.
