TerminalRaptor posted:Is this what it was like to watch Trump be president when you weren't from the US or a county he was liable to nuke? Not really. Watching trump from outside the us wasn't actually that fun because he actually harmed people and there was a big lost of faith in humanity attached to all of it, it was rather sad Elon Twitter is on the contrary pure, unadulterated lols

The Atomic Man-Boy posted:Supposedly there are components, that, once broken, cannot come back online. Or at least without an incredible amount of effort. Just going on gut feeling, there’s a good chance it will die early next week, Elon will say “um, I meant to do that. X will be here soon!” And just walk away, while the scavengers show up to buy the office chairs and servers. Hell, I might be one of them. How likely is mass data/tweet loss, even if whoever runs the place want to make them available again?

In his pitch, Mr. Musk said that he knew how to win and that those who wanted to win should join him, one person who spoke with him said. People literally dropped the loving videoconference to take the severance package and leave. This is the electronic equivalent of a mass walkout. So much for "extremely hardcore". Remaining employees expect the platform to start breaking soon.

Serious prediction: the only country twitter survives in is Japan, like Yahoo, because the japanese government will force the local subsidiary to rehire all of the staff due to lack of at will employment and spiteful, capricious regulators, and also japan is the largest twitter using country besides Angloid land

He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/ https://twitter.com/capitolhunters/status/1593307541932474368 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zPeWaaCZHqfq0tnkPwc61A6bGHySdj91  You guys might already know about this, but this is news to me and it explains so much

Shame Boy posted:yeah that was posted earlier, though the thread's been moving real fast Ah my bad. I went to sleep since then. rotor posted:So! I actually sometimes wonder if in being that being able to download your social media history is now a legal requirement, that companies don't write parsers or syncers for this information so a person can use social media agnostically through some sort of interface that seamlessly blends them all together so they become equally meaningless. We did this with computer test from applications multi-tasking on the same machine, with audio, we did this with video rendering, and we did it with hypertext, so it seems logical that the next step is to do it with communication. I know the answer is "because security", and because networks are untrustworthy, but still. I've thought for years now that the legal requirement should include documentation for exported formats or issuing proper serializers as part of the social media history export standard semi-automatically. Likewise, that programs should have API requirements of their own, so programs can talk to eachother domestically on a computer equally well across networks or alone rather than needing weird connectivity standards that feel like a strange holdover from the 1970's where we write our code first and compile it second -- when I remember running and compiling code simultaniously in Z80 assembly to test it, and being able to step forward or backward through it as it ran off of a second computer, an X68000 connected to the cartridge slot of my Sega Master System and then later, a Sega Genesis as a teenager. I constantly feel like we're trapped in bad habits, and a lot of why social media sucks is because computer touching is done in a very new-old-fashioned way for no discernible reason. I'm probably very wrong, but that's my feeling on things. Expo70 fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Nov 18, 2022 |

That's the world we should strive for. agreed, but the world we should strive for would never have made a site like twitter in the first place. your question was phrased more as "would companies do this" rather than "what would be good for people", so I went with that

well i guess i dont know exactly what you think sucks about social media. but i think if you list out why most people here think it sucks, none of those problems are very closely related to the technical infrastructure, networking, programming languages, etc. its because social media is a reflection of, and in turn helps to reinforce, the problems already in society
