With all these impostors with blue checkmarks suddenly appearing, I think the real Elon should have to post his weird dick. It's the only way to prove his identity and put a stop to the trolls.

Discount Dracula posted:Identity theft is not a joke Jim! It is super awkward to watch them shoot the current cow that is Twitter, and then the genuine surprise when the replacement cow has to chew through all the same cud. Even funnier, this is not exactly going to be a speedrun because they shot the seasoned, veteran cow, and were absolute dicks about it.

CharlestheHammer posted:See the problem that now exists is those celebrities, politicians, etc. have no way to prove they are even on Twitter. So it kind of losss that edge This whole meltdown over charging for Twitter verification and people being rightfully pissed about it has reminded me of the first time I ever heard of Twitter, which was the kerfuffle around someone stealing the @shaq handle from Shaquille O'Neal back in....late 2008? Maybe 2009? That all feels so quaint now lol

ErrEff posted:If Muskie runs into problems with payment processors he can probably just buy one. I work for a credit card processor that works closely with one of Musk's companies and this is becoming a realer sounding scenario every day. The CEO loving loves Musk too of course so I'm sure he'd happily sell to him.

The CEO loving loves Musk too of course so I'm sure he'd happily sell to him. There was a tweet on the FFXIV thread explaining an unpopular change to gift purchasing, and the main takeaway is that there are three big CC processor companies in the world and they are pretty cooperative enough such that if one decides to blacklist you, then the other two will follow suit. I imagine that if a CC dispute results in Elon buying one of these three for the sole purpose of saying that his companies are the exception would probably ruin that relationship pretty quickly (and also expose Musk to some pretty wild liability)

I Greyhound posted:I'm rooting for this outcome as the most hilarious of all. Before the sale I would have never considered it as a possibility, but with the last week, I'm coming around to it: Aaaaaaaahahahahaha let the certificates lapse elon, people will just click through the giant warning saying not to click through that might drive a few folks off e. and yeah there is very, very little chance they do an update like that within a month or so to all the servers they'd need to. Granted I work at a sane place, but something like rolling to a new certificate would be a gradual, we do this at night and we get people on the phone to verify stuff came back up thing, done over weeks / months. Elon's gonna call up a consulting firm and say "I need the cheapest resource possible who knows how to manage certificates. no I don't know what kind of certificate. $10k an hour? Ha, I would've paid double. I am smarter than you, and thus will do business with you." Code Jockey fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Nov 6, 2022 |

The alternative sites are "twitter but different" because you couldn't pry people away from twitter by offering the same experience. Now that twitter isn't twitter anymore someone will just create a new twitter.

I have faith in your overworked underpaid staff too. let them do it. let the developers make the update to production.

I have no doubt in my mind that Ol' Musky figured he could just shitcan Twitter's existing staff with zero repercussions, and that the best and brightest of the IT world would be lining up for miles to come work for a true genius like him. And he'll probably still be thinking that's going to happen when the poo poo hits the fan this coming Monday.

Code Jockey posted:Aaaaaaaahahahahaha Certificate chains is one of those things that I can absolutely see Elon thinking is stupid and for which there has to be a simpler solution that hasn't been developed yet out of laziness. There is a non-zero chance that he does something stupid like publicly calling for Brave (Who's userbase is mostly Musk Stans) to blindly accept self-signed certificates, since one of his team will deliver Secure Self-Signed Certificates™ (SSSC™) any day now.
