lol what a dumbass I hope the people he brought back see this, go back, and then do absolutely zero work or just gently caress up codes even more. Just rob the place.

I'd imagine there are safeguards and they'd be exposing themselves to a lot of legal risk, but if they all suddenly develop amnesia and can't transfer any knowledge or work on anything that would be very unfortunate.

Tiny Timbs posted:lol My last job (tech company in sf) was also terrible about this. Everyone had secret slack channels where they mocked each other. Since the culture was terrible and most of them were shitbro edgelords, any of those channels appearing in court would put them and the company in hot water. One of the most useful things I ever heard was "Any keypress you make on a work computer/account can be subpoenaed"

Two-three weeks ago I would've said "No, Twitter is pretty big with a serious engineering team, they've got a lot of rails around that" However, I've watched them flip switches for three different types of checkmarks in prod multiple times over the course of a single day, so I'm pretty sure just about anyone could just hop in and change their AWS credentials or something

It's gotten to the point where you almost have to assume that any information being portrayed as factual in a tweet is a troll or scam or something. There's been so much flip flopping on how to tell who is actually mega-for-real-for-sure verified that it seems hard to tell for sure. See stock prices eating poo poo on obvious trolls like "insulin is now free". Imagine all of the actual, well engineered scams happening right now that are owning people.

i actually thought maybe when Musk bought Twitter he was intentionally looking to gently caress it up in that he would reel it in just enough to make it a right leaning site with some misinfo and not lose advertisers, just like putting his thumb on the scale the way the Wapo operates for Bezos as more generally and less specifically. I wasn't sure how successful that would be because it's very clear he is stupid but since then I now understand that I didn't think to factor in how incredibly divorced this loser is.

Yeah, that's pure masturbatory drivel, and even were it true it's meaningless because, A., that certainly didn't happen under his two week old watch, and B., if he can't monetize it then it's gonna be an incredibly short lived phenomenon when the bandwidth bills for all this traffic he's apparently driving comes due.
