This is one beer I am content not to drink.
I have paid more than $30 for a limited edition beer before so the price isnt the issue.
And whats with the “cyberhops”? Its a pilsner so it has to be Hallertau, Tettnanger or Saaz.

It’s the marketing speak for shitty, generic hops with added branding. Like when he bought tunnelling machines off the shelf and called them his company’s.

Yes, but maybe they’re harvested on the mystical day of Cyber Monday.

I get that its marketing speak but its really annoying to me. I’d really like to know what was used. I make my own beer so I think I could make a Tesla-copy. Maybe I’ll call it Edison!

But if they told you what shitty generic thing they used you wouldn’t bother make such substandard stuff.
I used to make beers and I used to make not clones, but inspired by, versions of beers I liked. Just with the focus on flavour over stability and reliability, so using premium ingredients etc. Then I discovered I was coeliac and that stopped.

Huh. Three brewers here in the thread alone. BoingBoing could be renamed BrewBrew. (For the record, I learned the craft at the Maisel Brewery in Bayreuth Germany, so my brewing was industrial scale).
And yeah, it’s most likely marketing speak for just using the hops oil or some other processed generic crap.

Four actually, and I make wine, cider and mead too.

Five? Aside from continued homebrewing, meadmaking, and making liqueurs, I have brewed professionally and previously ran a brewery.

Ahh, what the heck, I’ll jump in too for 6. Though the last beer I brewed was before a cross country move and the start of covid (it was a Gruit of my own recipe), last wine was about 4 years ago (an Elderberry port style). However, I do currently have some neglected kombucha hanging out in my cupboard.
On topic: would anyone besides a Mush fanboy actually buy this?

There is a difference between code transparency, where users will be able to see the mechanisms that choose tweets for their timelines, and code being open-source, where the community can actually submit its own code for consideration, and use the algorithm in other projects. While Musk has said it’ll be open source, Twitter will have to actually do the work if it wants to earn that label. That involves figuring out systems for governance that decide what pull requests to approve, what user-raised issues deserve attention, and how to stop bad actors from trying to sabotage the code for their own purposes.

There’s already PRs against it.
