What a cringe-fest!

Elon Musk trying so hard to hurl insulting zingers at Mastodon. But he just comes across as incredibly awkward and dorky.

He also fails at one of the first rules of PR: don't acknowledge the little guy lest you turn them into the big guy.

Elon Musk: What do you call someone who is a master at baiting? Elon Musk: If you don't like Twitter anymore, there is awesome site called Masterbatedone

Thanks, but ever since I worked with my Wooting keyboard and realized how amazing it is to have the settings stored on the keyboard and always send the exact keystroke I want regardless of the booting step or OS, I have developed a negative feeling towards mapping keys via software. Imho keyboard is (and should be) an independent component and agnostic to OS and booting stage

For me at least, Wayland is already a lot more stable than Xorg when I used it. With Xorg, I used to have problems with my PC not waking up from sleep, apps lagging terribly when resizing, at one point I even had an issue where instead of my lockscreen, the applications in the background would focus on startup, leading to me literally leaking my password in a group chat because I still had Telegram open and only finding out hours later, because I had to hard-reset my pc.

Sorry to be the bummer here. I have seen instance admins that stated they'd at least silence (or even block) both Mastadon gGmbH instances due to serious issues in the last 2 weeks.

They may reconsider at some point but certainly their users and mods weren't too happy with some of the incidents.

Don't get me wrong, I understand how hard it is to keep track of that many users especially if they rush in at once. My goal is not to blame here!
