No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

that's not happening. I'll ship pallets of pennies before I install that piece of shit.
It would be funny because I don't think twitter has the server infrastruktur or the domain knowledge.
Nothing is stopping him from issuing an EO. Will it stand up to a judge though?
He sure could. Did you know that USPS is technically a government-granted monopoly by way of the Private Express Statutes?
Drumpf could grant X (The everything App (Formerly Known As Twitter)) the same privileges. Maybe not directly, but ultimately it'd have the same result, if they created a service that routed payments through it, and forced citizens to use said service and then grant said service a monopoly.
Guess it's time to go back to cash only.
I'm sure he could and would. All he'd need to do is dictate that X is the only payment provider all government departments may use to improve 'efficiency'.
It could well be you know. Trump is not tech saaavy and elon could push for it as its his dream. The thing to watch is Larry Ellison go look up everything he owns and what he is in control of.
The same Ellison who suggested surveillance will be used to make people behave?
Thats the bunny yep. He owns a lot of media and news companies. And he is now i think contracted with government data gathering via the AI stuff a quick search will show ypu all the pies his sweatty fingers are in.
I mean he could and could try to force it, but if people were too stubborn to use it wouldn't last long.
Just make a payment for something to people and they only can claim it by signing up to use the everything app?
