They would be nowhere if they didn’t have his money. Otherwise Musk actively hinders his companies with his idiocy. This is well known from SpaceX employees.

The companies’ success is from being in fields that the employees are passionate about so they’ll grit their teeth and put up with it to be able to work there.

And fighting for free speech, are you kidding? He’s fighting for his own speech period. Anything he doesn’t like tends to get journalists temp banned or shadowbanned from Twitter for example.

The enemy of my enemy is a useful temporary ally.

Flip 5, love the form factor and haven’t had any screen or hinge problems. The crease doesn’t bother me, but I do wish the battery life were better (though it’s not much different than my phone before it).

Yeah if that’s all that needed replacing. The entire system is ancient, not just the disks, like:

Much more critical than the dated use of floppy disks is the system’s loop cable, which transmits data between the central servers and the trains and, according to Roccaforte, “has less bandwidth than an old AOL dial-up modem.”

The SFMTA’s website adds:

The loop cable is fragile and easily disturbed. This makes subway maintenance more difficult. This also means the system cannot be extended outside the subway, along surface rail, where currently we don’t have automatic train control.

In early depictions of Batman, there were times in which he freely killed criminals and times where he was an officially deputized state agent. In contrast, most depictions since at least the late 80s and 90s were much more progressive, with Bruce Wayne being the biggest philanthropist in Gotham, helping to provide low cost housing and healthcare, as well as funding criminal rehabilitation and direct job placement for ex-cons with Wayne Industries. Writers were aware of the other aspects of justice that Batman needed to embody long before it was trendy on the internet to edgily portray Batman as a billionaire who enjoys beating people up for fun.

I don’t dislike all the changes but the removal of the left swipe gesture to access current channel information and pinned message is a huge negative change to me.
