Damn that's both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I'm praying to Gods I don't even believe in

I genuinely have to wonder if Musk is intentionally trying to kill Xitter, because if he's actually trying to recoup his "investment" he's going about it completely the wrong way
I feel like in most cases if a product has such bad reviews that it kills the company that made it, there's a good reason for that.
Of course there are exceptions, and it is expected that a reviewer do their due diligence to make sure they're giving an honest, accurate, and reasonable review, but no company should be shielded for being told their product isn't good if it isn't.
In terms of online presence I think one has to be careful about becoming too private - at what point do you become so untrackable that even people you would like to find you (I.e. old friends) can't anymore.
Christ mate, they only stated their personal opinion. I'd be with you if they abused mod and removed stuff arbitrarily, but that's not what happened, so chill out.
"...source code will only be supplied in one of three formats, they say: “a copy handwritten on papyrus, a slide-show of blurry screenshots recorded on a VHS tape, or that I dictate it to you personally over the phone.”

Oh great they get to collect and make money off of "anonymous technical data" for years, and their punishment for doing all that is to delete the data, and swear they won't collect anymore of it for the next few years??
They already made their money off of people's data! This isn't a meaningful punishment, hell it's barely a slap on the wrist.
I'd love to chance to play a bunch of nostalgic titles - just off the top of my head I'd play DOOM, Uplink, Darwinia, Morrowind, and my trashy favourite from that era Themepark world. There are definitely more if I had time to think about it.
So let's get this straight, after years of being relentlessly threatened, harassed, and retaliated against for attempting to hold up what little safety standards and quality assurance remained in their department, this Swampy guy finally gets a chance to deposition against Boeing, his moment to finally have Boeing see consequences for what they put him through, and he suddenly turns suicidal and shoots himself in the head?
Tell you what, if Boeing were expecting literally anyone to believe no foul play is involved here, then their heads must be put together as well as their planes are nowadays
The stem - even if the other side is more optimal, I hate the brown bit, so I prefer to open at the stem (which isn't usually that hard) and throw that part away when I get to the end.
