Musk probably just assumes everyone is like him and obsessively scans twitter all day, every day and never logs off, so why would they need a working authenticator system to log in?

uh , SMS to an associated phone number can be a better way to make sure the person is the person compared to an email of firstnamelastname@gmail.com with the password "clownpenisfart" which can be found in those good rear end leaks.

the problem with SMS 2FA, at least in the US, is that the infrastructure basically runs on the honor system and it's incredibly easy for bad actors to intercept someone else's SMS

It isn't, but in retrospect it might be thought to be related. If you know the area, it was based out of Cherrywood.
The actual company got seized by the US feds for crazy finance violations, and the CEO went to prison for a while but had those magic rich guy heart problems that go away once they let you out of jail.
He was an absolute prick anyway, I met him a few times and he was the sleaziest mf I ever met.

Yes but it is also apparently alarmingly easy to steal someone's phone number apparently. Last I heard it was generally pretty easy to convince reps over the phone to transfer your account to a new SIM or whatever. Even if you have previously told them to keep your account locked.

At the very least anywhere that cares about security should support tokens/apps for 2FA

Remember a while back there was some picture link where if you clicked it, it automatically posted itself to your twitter feed. Is there a way to make one of those that ALSO logs you out of twitter and send to Musk that pretends its a headline supporting him or something?

I mean I'm sure he'll just find a way to force his account to be able to log in again but I would love if all the people who click whatever he posts were to also be logged out.

Guys you don't need two factor authentication, if you email twittersupport5737285743@gmail.com they can get you back into your account with just the three digits on the back of your debit card. Of course if you don't feel comfortable with that they told me they also accept Amazon gift cards

How is he so bad at this while also thinking he's so good at this that he can just suddenly have them turn 80% of Twitter's microservices off with no consequences?

Why the gently caress is that dumb shithead asking this stuff on Twitter? Why isn't he asking in Slack? Talking to his engineers?

I don't think he really knows what "liberal" or "progressive" means. Most of the US sure doesn't.

In the real world, yeah. Musk however is an extremely online old man, which means he mainly comes into contact with the left on social media, and despite being a marginal voice in actual politics, online they look big and strong and hurt his feelings while stimming via shitposts.

I deleted my twitter account because of a combination of mental health and adding to the anti pile of less twitter accounts

Twitter gave me a 2FA to deactivate and a 30 day window to reactivate if I changed my mind

So disabling 2FA disables a large swarth of account deactivations.

But now I can't reactivate my even if I wanted

Except he’s grumbling about the MSM and professional journalism, with its nasty left wing bias.

His entire motivation for removing the verified check mark was to balance things out with “citizen journalism” which is quite obviously right wing social media screaming.

that's not how capital acquisition works at all

it's not

"it's his billions to waste"

it's

"it's twitter's job to somehow make up 42 billion + interest (difficulty level: impossible)"

Let me rephrase it then: "it's his net worth to deflate by making dumb investments". He is not going to make back the billions he wasted. He blew them on an ego-trip. But he still has plenty assets to live like a king - and do this again. It is horrifying and entrancing to watch this circus at a distance - but it's really just a macrocosm of some middle class shmuck with a good net worth losing a chunk of it to bad crypto-investments. Elon might be sad for a while - he might be bitter for the rest of life even - but unless he ups the stupid-ante or repeats this trick one time too many he is more likely to die at the peak of wealth in some dumb accident or from a heart attack than to crash and burn in humility from this failed venture. And sure he might go on a spiral of crazy stunts until he ends up like a more spectacular version of John Macafee - but he might not. He might convince himself the billions of net worth lost paid back for themselves through an awesome ride on the centre-of-attention coaster.

TL;DR - he can fail horribly at making up those billions, move on and still be insanely rich.

I am not applauding this or him - I just think those who are convinced this is the end of Elon Musk as a businessman and wealthy public person are as deluded as those who think him some kind of genius hero.

stdh. If a company is able to compensate you well, they're also likely to be the kind of place that appreciates employees enough to not mandate working through lunch breaks.

Aramis posted:

Hear hear. I have no doubt that there are a lot of companies/offices that treat free food as a proxy for OT pay, but that's not been my experience at all at one of the FAANGs (circa 2010-2015). It was a very appreciated QoL benefit on top of the absurd pay, reasonable working hours, and extra pay when on-call.

The myth that the likes of Google do so in order to somehow fool their employees into doing additional OT is ludicrous.

Even in my crunch-heavy videogame days, OT food was certainly never seen as "compensation". It was more like coffee: a bare minimum the employer was expected to provide.

I work for a European branch of a San Jose tech company. OT during crunch periods is strictly opt-in. We're all salaried at different levels, but it works out about 2x per hour what the average person here would earn if they were paid hourly. Back when we still worked in the office OT pizza and beer were just expensed thank you items above the regular free snacks/coffee/sodas we had in the office.

Since everyone went to WFH we've replaced them with Amazon or JustEat/Deliveroo vouchers, but the primary motivator behind people doing OT has always been getting that bump in their next pay statement.
