I can't place all of them:

Boss CS-1 --> ? --> ? --> MXR Micro Chorus --> TC Pipeline Tremolo --> EQD Rainbow Machine

I miss human DJ's.

To be more specific, I miss the left-of-the-dial 11pm variety.

And Shoutcast-style radio with live DJ's. I still spin up a stream every now and then, but it's not the same as it used to be.

For proposal #4 it decided that the trees needed tiddies.

the content seemed to be less visible even to his subscribers

Am I the only one who still uses the subscriptions page? I get a chronological list of all my subscribed channel's video releases. I have seen zero indication that I'm missing anything at all, and I fairly frequently go to channel's pages to check that my subscription list is complete.

I've never clicked a single notification bell, and don't rely on the home page's recommendations/sorting, unless I'm actively seeking out new recommendations.

Theoretically it's to help aquifer recharging, but it feels a bit misguided when directed to homeowner gardens, which are far more environmentally beneficial than the amount of roof runoff they would be temporarily diverting.

The mad lady is also pointing with her thumb, which is surprisingly off-putting. And I love how the sleeve melds into the arm, that's fashionable.

The quote from that biography is "It seemed that Musk...." - Using the phrase "Musk admitted" Is quite directly a lie.

The admission was never part of the original biography, nor the source article this is linking to. It was specifically added by the tooter, and was completely unnecessary.

Elon Musk admitted

I'm not saying it isn't true, but I'm not seeing any quote from him or link to an interview or anything. Just assertions from third parties of what his motives "seem" to be.

When you lie about shit like this, it undermines valid criticisms and makes anyone actually reading the original article question the trustworthiness of the source.

The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. It was all about fueling opposition to California's high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.

That is a blurb that doesn't resort to lies, and gets the same exact point across, without YOU looking like a liar.

You don't need to lie about monsters to make them look bad. Just show facts about their monstrous actions.

If you're spreading lies, regardless of intent, you're part of the problem, not the solution.

IPFS (or similar tech) is the only sustainable solution for media hosting on federated platforms.

Permanence is important - old posts with dead media links is bad for society IMO - but we can't expect volunteer instance admins to be held responsible for something as complex and expensive as permanent media hosting.

Just wait until the "targeted ad" bubble pops because people realize it's all a fraudulently inflated market with little to no true value.

There will be wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
