So Elon’s a “visionary” who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!
He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website…

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@ajsadauskas@aus.social @technology@beehaw.org for photos, Flickr also fits: it is owned by Yahoo since 2005
I get the sentiment, but Flickr hasn’t been owned by Yahoo for a while. They were purchased by the folks that run SmugMug.
@mnrockclimber@lemmy.sdf.org Oh, you’re right! I didn’t know about that. My bad 😄
It’s all good. I only know because I’ve been a paying customer since pretty much the beginning.
@mnrockclimber @clement also, it’s all good. The new custodians are much better than Yahoo was.
