Well thanks I almost made it a day without. Then I saw your post.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago

He was in Iron Man 2.

He popped in to ruin that too.

Also the chicken game.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 1 points 16 minutes ago

He's one of the richest yet divisive billionaires in the world who is putting his foot in the door in regards to social network, electric cars, and space travel, what did you expect? "I want to know about technology, but I also want to ignore this huge elephant in the room shitting on me."

Son of a ….

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 7 points 2 hours ago

Be the change you want to see in the world. You just posted about him.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Same. At least Bonespurs will probably soon have his final Big Mac Attack and the news will be all about MAGA self destructing as the hangers-on claw each other to pieces to get on top. Musk has a lot more years left in him. His smartest move would be to announce that he's trans and make social media implode like a supermassive black hole.

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 38 points 7 hours ago

I didn't see him until your post, so thanks.

[-] Patch@feddit.uk 2 points 2 hours ago

Ha, my thoughts exactly. I've dipped out of Lemmy for a few weeks, just dipped back in today. "I wonder if it's still wall to wall Musk?" I thought, logging in; and this was the first post I see.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I just got into lemmy, and compared to reddit he seems refreshingly scarce here. Come to think of it so does Bonespurs.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 hours ago

Their shills are less present here. These "influencers" spend good money on this engagement slop.

Warren baffet too... Just endless fucking articles to generate "positive" engagement. I don't get this daddy worship shit esp from adult men

[-] halykthered@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

A coworker actually referred to trump as daddy once. Out of dead silence, he said to another coworker, "You know, daddy is gunna be in the area soon." I continued to evesdrop, as I wanted to hear who coworker #2 thought of as 'Daddy' with no context. He hesitantly said the names of a few managers in confusion, and the first guy corrected him and mentioned it was the former president.

Don't like it? Then start a revolution.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Can we start by stuffing his ass in a rocket and sending him to Mars?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 25 minutes ago

I, too, wish to start a bloody coup that topples a national government over what I see on Lemmy's front page.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 57 points 8 hours ago

You have become the very thing you sought to destroy!

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Pretty sure people have said the same thing about all the ultra rich in every generation. I'm just hoping that Musk goes the way of Howard Hughes

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 33 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Mad at the quality of technology posts.

Makes another low quality post.

Yeah…

[-] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 110 points 10 hours ago
[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, OP has made this post and one other comment...

They could have posted anything else and been the change they wanted, now they'll get notifications from people talking about the one thing they dislike enough to make a post?

I'll never understand the logic behind that shit, the last post was 13 hours ago, just make a different post instead of one complaining about every other posts.

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 15 points 7 hours ago

It's a meta discussion about the direction they want the sub to take.

Sitting down and discussing something that you don't like, so you can avoid it more in the future, is not the contradiction so many people in this sub seem desperate to make it.

[-] Mesophar@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

Though, it does help to make a good faith effort to add content you'd like to see more of

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

Agreed. It could absolutely be that this person just likes to complain. But this whole "talking about banning things you don't thing belong in this community is really just talking about it too" is a ridiculous "gotcha."

[-] Steve@startrek.website 14 points 7 hours ago

When you rage about being stuck in traffic, then you realize….

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 42 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

You can block posts by keywords, including Elon musk if you like

Ex. Voyager, settings, filters and blocks, add a filter keyword

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 14 points 10 hours ago

sadly that's an app-specific setting. if you use a different app or choose to access Lemmy via browser, your keywords won't apply.

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 23 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/elon/i"))

Put that into your uBlock Origin filters and change the instance to that of your own. Just keep in mind that this applies to usernames too.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 5 points 7 hours ago

Most frontends offer similar features. Try phtn.app

[-] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 4 points 6 hours ago

This looks like a nice web interface like Voyager. I hate it when you are forced to install an app to use what's literally capable within a modern web browser

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 3 points 6 hours ago

You don't need to install Voyager either. You can use it as a PWA.

[-] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 1 points 6 hours ago

huh. I did not understand any of that

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 5 hours ago

PWA = Progressive web app. Essentially websites that act like apps on your phone. Not sure what kinda device or browser you're using but if you navigate to the page, then hit the menu button, there should be something along the lines of "add to home screen" or "install site as app".

[-] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 1 points 3 hours ago

All that did was create a shortcut to the site...

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 48 minutes ago

No, it has pretty much all the functionality of an app.

[-] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Hermit is great too

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago

So you just made another one...

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

The Streisand effect, with less steps

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io -1 points 7 hours ago

In my experience the vast majority of posts about Elon Musk are from people who hate him and are tired of hearing about him.

[-] vzq@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

This is the Musk community. Haven’t you heard?

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works -1 points 4 hours ago

Feel free to downvote and ignore them. Presumably, the people who posted them thought that they were worthy, and I doubt their minds were changed by your non-argument here.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 0 points 6 hours ago

Are those serious? I thought they were the daily joke but not funny...

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 7 hours ago

Dude has made billions off being a professional lolcow. Can't stop now.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works -1 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, ok, But I just heard Elon eats hot dogs on hamburger buns!
