"The little egg avatar, a classic sign of a bot or troll account and often associated with harrassment, has been transformed into a new design that's meant to resemble the outline of a human's head and shoulders. But instead, it kind of just looks like one tiny, deformed egg hovering above one half of a slightly larger egg."
This has nothing to do with who is leading our country. The only thing new here is that it's easy to point the finger at one person for everything you don't like; it's been in place for awhile now.
There have been countless attempts by new platforms to take over Facebook, Twitter, etc, but they always fail because 90% of users are so glued to what they already know. They don't want to join a network that all their contacts aren't already on. Additionally, a good portion of said users also don't mind ads or privacy invasion, so those aspects of new platforms only ever seem to appeal to users who know a thing or two about infosec.
For what it's worth, I'm no longer a Twitter user, but when I was I'd go through my activity each month or so and delete the majority of my tweets, retweets, and likes. Sure, they're still stored server-side, but it just reminds me how much I wish a platform could exist with little to no retention, like you said. Maybe a (transparent) purging of data regularly? Way too much to ask for, but it's a novel thought.
Serious question- what benefit do you get out of this? I had an SLI setup with Linux for awhile as well, before realizing that the second GPU was never being tapped into at all. It's recognized, and is getting power, but it's wholly under-utilized (if at all).
From everything I've found, Linux doesn't benefit from SLI nearly as much Windows can.
Someone was paid to write this compelling stuff.
