Elon Musk’s shouting match with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent might have been the final nail in the coffin for the tech billionaire’s four-month stint in the White House, but it came after months of bubbling frustration at Musk’s “chain-saw” approach to dismantling the federal government.

Musk and Bessent exploded at each other in April when Musk attempted to force through his pick to lead the IRS—Gary Shapley—behind Bessent’s back. (Musk eventually lost this battle—Shapley lasted less than 72 hours before Bessent tapped Michael Faulkender to replace him.)

“Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!” a typically mild-mannered Bessent was heard shouting after Musk as they charged down the halls of the West Wing.

A Cypriot cargo ship ran ashore immediately next to a Norwegian household today, and they are currently doing their best to get the ship unstuck. It's a surprisingly soothening live stream. > > > > Via @DreadShips@mastodon.me.uk on Mastodon.

Yeah they are shit now. What can we do to move them over to Lemmy?

That's a great idea!

What should be changed in your opinion to make it easier to use?

Can we actively do something to help this process?

I think it's crazy that an art sub is more popular than an art forum.

I suppose it's the low barrier. People are already on Reddit and thus join the subreddits.

We have a great opportunity with the Fediverse here to replace them.

Let's do that and get more people to join the Fediverse!

But many people don't want to have everything completely public, even if privacy is a illusion there.

We have to accept that and provide a solution for both.

As a result, I am just asking follow-on questions to further discern what makes Element preferable.

If you are against a change in the first place you won't switch, anyway.

There are people who love them, but when people ask about them, they don't offer any really informative data to support why they like them.

Please, ask.

What makes Element (matrix) a secure platform, and how does that differ from telegram or signal or whatever. Like. What is matrix good at? That's what I'm asking. Why suggest it over something else?

Simple. It's fully free and open source. The server as well as the apps. Therefore, you can trust it as a privacy friendly solution a heck of a lot more, than any other solution like WhatsApp.
