Instagram seems to be doing some new crap lately (at least for me). One smaller one is that if you don’t have any new content in your feed when you go back to the iOS app, it’s just shuffle stuff from the last day or two. The far more annoying one however is putting advertisements in your notifications. You get a pop up saying that there’s something new in your notifications, with a bag icon. If you check your notifications, it’s something like “Continue shopping with X”. Sure Facebook, make me quit the last social media site I have. I already quit Twitter when Elon took over. Edit Oh yeah, my “Reels” section can best be described as softcore porn with the clothes on. Just woman stretching in tight clothes with the camera right at their crotch.

Perhaps a very dumb idea, but it seems like the smart move would be for the ex-twitter employees to just make a Twitter equivalent, called something different but offering the same services. It seems like it would be as sure of a bed as one could potentially make to be successful.

Considering it was never really profitable, I'm not sure why anyone would want to make a clone.

I'm rooting for Tumblr right now. Punch up. Right into Elons crotch. Take every idea and just make it work a little better just for the lols.

The New York Times has taken their turn at a tell-all article about the Twitter chaos. Unsurprisingly, employees are leaking everything. https://twitter.com/dodaistewart/status/1591062732857806848 quote:SAN FRANCISCO — Elon Musk had a demand. There's a lot going on here, but one thing that particularly stands out to me is how paranoid Musk is. It's been a recurring theme in the Twitter change of management: Musk deeply distrusts Twitter's existing employees and appears to be perpetually scared that they'll try to pull one over on him if he stops terrifying them for even a second. This is a guy who straight-up closed the offices on layoffs day, and claimed "insider risks" as his excuse for locking everyone out of the mod tools. And now we're hearing that he made managers prove that their employees actually existed and weren't just fake accounts made to embezzle money. It's no wonder he brought in Tesla engineers, he doesn't trust anyone at Twitter!

Twitter Blue and the "verified" blue checks got suspended in the middle of the night, no new subs until Twitter can come up with a way to verify previous existing verified users easier (after Musk killed the "official" checkmark on a whim)... https://twitter.com/ZoeSchiffer/status/1591081913166745601?t=uUg5_gCmdCIpPOAIvmeUHA&s=19 So, I am guessing that Twitter has NO revenue coming in now.

I can only assume that all his advisers pulled him into a room and told him that if he doesn't reverse it, Twitter dies tonight and he finally capitulated and let someone throw the switch. Reversing the rest of it, especially the staff departures, is going to be a lot harder

So is there any direct personal benefit for Elon for tanking twitter on purpose? Outside of like, shadowy deals from foreign powers that would want it tanked on purpose?

This is why Elon decided against his initial plan to do mass layoffs prior to Nov. 1, he would have had to pay for litigation costs and penalties on top of making the fired employees whole according to https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/11/...ce=articleShare

kliras posted:on a slightly different note, deviantart is up to some poo poo and will use all art on its platform to train an ai unless people explicitly opt out The funniest part is that the opt-out doesn't actually work anyway. It works exactly the same as the do-not-track browser header, which politely notified advertising servers that the user did not want to be tracked and did not want their data harvested. Except that the do-not-track header is a complete failure, because there was no incentive at all for advertisers to respect it. It depended on advertisers going out of their way to program their tracking tools to voluntarily stop tracking the user if the header was included in the tracking data. In the end, do-not-track was largely abandoned. There's no reason to think that DeviantArt's "noimageai" header will fare any better. The dataset crawlers have no idea it exists, and will completely ignore the opt-out unless dataset creators go out of their way to intentionally add support for opting out. And I severely doubt they'll do that, because the big dataset creators are assholes who don't have any intention of shrinking their datasets by giving people new ways to opt out.

Half the employees were fired and the other half are being told "don't worry, you definitely won't face any legal trouble while working here!" By the end of next week, I wouldn't be surprised if Elon was the only employee left.
