For me it always was to be avoided. There are too many reasons to list, but limiting speech to 180 characters, or 280 or whatever is so brain dead, that only that would be abhorrent.@Farox In order to not derail the other thread - why is twitter/x to be avoided?
Did you? I heard otherwise. I heard many censor staff was fired, so that might mean less censorship, but that now accounts were cancelled or so more whimsically, just because a boss didn't like it.Genuine question - I've never used either. Only heard the notion that there's less or no censorship happening now.
For me i don't want to support the direction that was taken when Mr Musk bought the company. I have an account but i almost never used, so most probably this would be deleted as inactive (i didn't checked).@Farox In order to not derail the other thread - why is twitter/x to be avoided?

Some insight into the direction would have been valuable as part of an answer. Nevermind though. Not invested in that platform, just curious.For me i don't want to support the direction that was taken when Mr Musk bought the company.

Flaming him ? Ok, this is very subjective and possibly unfounded, but I think he just got the whim to buy Twitter because a user was posting there the airports he (or his plane) was landing on, which was already public info.@pyrat I can only assume that Musk would ban accounts that were flaming him or the service. Dunno if that's the case.
I heard nothing of the kind. But I don't trust that any more than a crowd with torches and forks.I also heard that there is now a thing like correction by the community, which can put a lid on some company or state outlet's ravings by correcting their statements. That sounds like a good thing to me.
I guess it prevents poorer bot-farms?Not sure about having to pay for veryfication. I assume it helps to prevent bot-farms.

Yemen's Houthi rebels (indeed not neighboring Israel) appear to have declared war on Israel: https://www.reuters.com/world/middl...-aircraft-near-red-sea-city-eilat-2023-10-31/World War 3 confirmed?
Nah, WWIII was last week, now it's just trick-or-treating...Yemen's Houthi rebels (indeed not neighboring Israel) appear to have declared war on Israel: https://www.reuters.com/world/middl...-aircraft-near-red-sea-city-eilat-2023-10-31/
"Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi group said it launched a 'large number' of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Tuesday, after Israel's military said it downed an approaching 'aerial target' off the Red Sea city of Eilat. The operation was the third targeting Israel and there would be more, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a televised statement. Saree said the attacks would continue until 'Israeli aggression' stopped, referring to the war against Hamas in the Gaza strip."
"Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian issued a threat on Sunday that the United States would see 'heavy losses' and warned Israel with a deadline to end its military actions toward Gaza."

Matlock is fun, but like most series (maybe that's just me) you can watch a few episodes and have to stop and do something else.In other news, I've let Peony pick what YouTube videos we watch today and we've somehow ended up watching Matlock. I'm open to offers if anyone wants to take her off my hands.

Because they don't like GNU.Why is it that many people take issue with or get angry from hearing GNU/Linux (or as I like to call it, "GNU+Linux") being reffered to as GNU/Linux?
Great, now I'm imagening someone making their pacemaker step to the beat of the music their hearing aid perceives. Wonder how that would feel.and it suggests that the free software community could contribute to the development of free software for pacemakers.
