can people even insure wank trucks?

It’s funny in a way but still horrifying since someone that narcissistic and ignorant is in charge of the government.

It annoys me a lot when people I know say “Trump is funny”. Not really… he’s a whiny, conceited asshole. He might be somewhat amusing if he wasn’t the President. As it is, this isn’t funny at all.

I assume if they’re investigating or vetting anything it’s: will they be loyal to Trump? Anything good to hang on to as blackmail or extortion material?

What’s unclear about “I will fucking murder them.”?

I sure wouldn’t be worried about savvy investors like DT being president. He was smart enough to inherit $400 million and then basically piss it away but still manage to scam a lot of people and banks over the years. Why didn’t Walz just try having richer parents?

Yeah, uh… I don’t think they have $950 million.

I realize the origin of the name. Also, Little Boy. Either way, the person above wasn’t talking about ‘mad logs’. The mini nuke ammo in Fallout looks exactly like what’s in the photo here.

I’m also aware of that video, unfortunately. I’ve been wise enough to never watch it. I didn’t realize it had anything to do with 4chan though, does it? Internet sources say it was posted on eFukt originally, then a standalone website.

‘Fat Man’ is a mini-nuke launcher in fallout, if you weren’t aware.

Also, what happened on 4chan?

The Fallout collab I’m still pretty sure I didn’t want

Oh well! Bite it, Ralph.

Elon Musk says it a lot. Same conclusion.

That COULD be what happened, and it would have a similar effect, but it wasn’t what happened. If you read information about this that becomes apparent. They didn’t change the link target, they changed the link text only.

Someone registers spacetwitter.com and sets up an adversarial site. They then make an “X” post mentioning spacetwitter.com. The app creates a link to spacetwitter.com but changes the text to say spacex.com.

On April 9, Twitter/X began automatically modifying links that mention “twitter.com” to read “x.com” instead. But over the past 48 hours, dozens of new domain names have been registered that demonstrate how this change could be used to craft convincing phishing links — such as fedetwitter[.]com, which until very recently rendered as fedex.com in tweets.

Notice how it says modifying links that mention “twitter.com” to read “x.com” instead.

No, apparently what happens is people post netflitwitter.com, linking to netfltwitter.com, and the X app changes the visible link text to netflix.com but not the link target.

The way you’re describing it is the reverse, like people post netflix.com and the link is changed to netflitwitter.com. That’s not what they’re doing. Or, if it was that people posted netflitwitter.com and it linked to netflix.com, how would that be a problem?

Marginalized non-white people working for him while afraid of the consequences of quitting or disagreeing must take him back to his childhood.

Just optics, I guess? Probably some urgent drug-induced decree from Elron. They still have tons of references to Twitter in various parts of the site. The transition to the ‘x’ domain (which yes, Musk has owned since 1999) was rushed, hasty, and poorly done, not to mention incredibly stupid from a business perspective.

Are you serious?

As of April 8, 2024, the iOS Twitter (now X) client automatically replaces the text “twitter.com” in posts with “x.com” as part of its functionality. Therefore, for example, a URL that appears to be “netflix.com” will actually redirect to “netflitwitter.com” when clicked.

As another X user (@Arcticstar0) pointed out, “the actual link is unchanged. It’s just the text placeholder that appears different. So the link goes to a different url than it appears.”

It could work the way you’re describing with the same effect, but that’s not what’s being described.

Nope, why would someone register carfatwitter.com if that was the case?

It’s amazing that not only did they fuck up the regex, but only changed how the link was displayed and not where it linked to. And somehow their org is fucked up enough that someone not only wrote this incompetent code but it went into production.

“incentivizing and feeding information for possible murder of an individual” is the dramatic excuse musk used, correct. “Assassination coordinates”. I’m not sure where you got incentivized from though. They were accounts that discussed the elonjet account which republished freely available public flight information. Note that musk reinstated these accounts:

As the platform owner, there are also other ways he could reduce the reach of accounts, which would be difficult to independently prove.
