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...

@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.
