Elon is a goofball but who are these regulators you speak of? Who controls them? What is their political orientation? How do you ensure that they stay neutral and don't limit voices they don't agree with? I think you have a long way to go to invent a solution that you could convince me would be actually better than just allowing Elon to do what he wants. Most attempts to do stuff like this just result in giving power to the government to control speech and holy fuck do I think that is a bad idea.

It comes from the phrase “eat your own dog food”, which means “use the products you’re selling to customers.” The idea at tech companies is that, if you personally wouldn’t use this product, then customers won’t want to either. So by making your employees use it, they will inevitably figure out which parts of your product have problems and then those problems can get fixed.

I'm sick in bed, it passes the time.

I didn't have a need for a portfolio ever, and I certainly wouldn't send it to you to shit on it if I had one, and showing you my awards would compromise my anonymity.

But I can reveal some of my clients from 2021/2022: BASF, 3M, HP, Intel, Bosch, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Deutsche Bank, IKEA, BoConcept, Zeppelin Baumaschinen, Caterpillar, Rheinmetall and my favorite L'Oreal. Graphic art is a small part of my work. I don't consider myself an artist, I solve problems and make mostly functional and sometimes pretty things, but mostly my job is to shit on other designer's work with them present and then work out together ways to make the products less shitty, and subsequently, great. 3D-modeling, 3D design, animation and simulation are things I do that Macs cannot do to full extent. Light 2D design, print stuff can be done quite ok, but again, it's like working with mittens on. Stuck in 2012.

If you want to argue more, I have the time and the meds are making me grumpy and focused, so...

I love the low effort you put into your dismissals. Can't even respond to a single, direct question.

It's as simple as I don't make unnecessary assumptions about people I don't know, especially when it's based on what I read on social media. Some people prefer to take the first thing they read and then run around shouting it at everyone. To each their own, I suppose.
