Here’s a related question… Why is Elon Musk demanding a massive cash salary from the board rather than typical CEO compensation of stock and performance bonuses?

Likely, he understands that the company is massively overvalued due to his hype machine. He is cashing out before it fails.

As a plus, by manufacturing animosity between himself and the board, he is preloading the ammunition for when the company fails and discards him. When he leaves, the hype machine leaves with him. The stock will “crash” which really means returning to a sane market valuation. He can easily claim that the failure was due to the board interfering with his genius. The board members either know this, or are his lackies (or both). They will ride the wave along with him as long as they can.

In essence, we are witnessing the largest pump and dump scheme in history, and it is being done in the open.

Really interesting - I never used something like this but certainly see the value

Absolutely phenomenal. Great app, hosting, and development community.

It’s a good reason to start self hosting.

On mine I can just swipe the entire line to the right or left to delete.

Here’s a tip: if you have multiple children, split everything evenly no matter what. It doesn’t matter how good your reasoning is. It doesn’t matter if one kid is an addict, it doesn’t matter if one kid needs the money more. It doesn’t matter if one cares for you in your old age and the other disappeared.

No matter what.

You are inviting nothing but misery into ALL of your children’s lives by dividing it unevenly. No matter how reasonable it is to do something else, they will always tend to think that dividing the inheritance unevenly means that you loved them unequally.

I think there was a plan at one point, but yeah. Not one of OPs requirements, but something we should all consider.

The videos are going to go somewhere. YouTube is not ideal, and peertube is basically still closed unless OP is lucky enough to get onto a stable instance.

Vimeo is basically for corporate video hosting now. DailyMotion might be an option although I never really used it.

I’d guess odysee is one of the better alternatives

I’ve watched some things on odysee, but also heard some pretty problematic things. I don’t recall the details but I think they have had issues with filtering neonazis and something about sketchy ownership. Hopefully someone here will correct me.

That being said, there are some open source and privacy communicators there. Louis Rossman and Naomi Brockwell come to mind.

Thank you! This is very helpful. I didn’t see these but Lemmy search is sort of broken for me right now.

Oh great. Sorry that I didn’t dig in too much further than the front page of the website.

Oh, that is a really interesting question. I do think that there are some open source assistants that may offer some flexibility, but that’s not really how I personally use a phone so I wouldn’t have any answer. I found this article from a few years ago that seems to suggest it was and may be possible.

yeah, just looking through the notes, it looks like both devs care a lot about their project and just have different visions for what a “Complete” notes app should look like. It’s nice to see, because sometimes when you see a fork of a project it’s because someone abandoned it or there is some kind of community drama, but that doesn’t seem to be the case afaik.

Wow, this looks amazing. I’ll have to check it out to see how sharing/collaboration works though.

I also found a fork called NotallyX, which includes import functions from Keep and Evernote. Pretty useful for someone migrating.

What benefits do you find in particular that make it better than hosting yourself?

Wow, this has some neat features and it looks great on any size screen. I will be following this for sure

This is a very cool project! With a few minor developments this could meet my needs

Yep. You can pay with your data, you can pay a corporation, or you can pay open source developers directly.

If someone can’t afford to pay, or doesn’t believe in it, that’s fine, and that’s part of what open source is, which is amazing. But if you’re in a position to support foss developers, and they created something useful for you, I think it’s the least we can do.

I pay for all of the software that I use, and encourage others to do so as well. That’s not what this is at all. Pretty much the opposite effect.

We also use “Block” when it’s really mute.

No. Free speech tends to mean the most powerful group determines and enforces norms through aggression, harassment, etc. Speech has consequences, and some of those consequences include harms (threats, doxing, stalking, etc.)

Mastodon is one of the freest online speech platforms I’ve been a part of, and yet also has the most rigorously enforced code of conduct. More people are free to say more things, and feel confident that doing so does not put them in danger.

Before online platforms emerged, the ability to spread a message was dependent on your ability to support it financially and logistically. Anyone can publish a newspaper on any topic, but unless you have a racist millionaire backing you up, your message won’t get very far (ahem, Deerborn Independent). Online publishing has been a haven for hate groups.
