My boss is an Elon stan and I'm posting this to the company slack as soon as I log in this week 🤣

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
I’m curious about how this went
This is very funny but I’m wondering why you’re posting the German YouTube placeholder unfurl description…
presumably because awful systems is hosted at Hetzner
Lemmy's servers are probably in germany. I've seen it on my instance too.
I've definitely seen that kind of thing happen with a Mastodon instance hosted in Germany.
yep, our instance and a ton of mastodon instances are hosted on hetzner (though I think we’re in their Finnish datacenter?) and recently Google made a change that seems to be returning that same German text as the description for every YouTube video requested by a hetzner IP
it’s definitely annoying and user-hostile, but that’s Google for ya
This may be better than the trump one
