FiftySeven posted:So this was part of some sort of prank where these two walked outside Twitter HQ pretending they were fired, which was pretty believable because it was the same time that loads of employees were finding themselves out of a job, and got on the news apparently? Seems kind of lovely to invite them back to the office for a photo that ends up kind of mocking the huge amount of people who he laid off Even Zuckerberg 2000 computed a more compassionate message to send to the staff that Meta laid off, and hasn't subsequently been emitting laugh2.wav on repeat on Facebook. It was a masterclass by comparison. We can laugh with the engineers that publicly clowned on him, because they obviously felt comfortable enough in their skills that they would get on just fine if they were fired, but there were thousands of people who aren't so lucky, whole departments of people who aren't engineers, etc.

Enigma89 posted:I want and do mostly agree with you but this is a bad time for the Twitter employees. So many tech and media companies are doing layoffs. Google, TikTok and Apple are probably the big ones that haven't done it yet. So there is going to be a lot of people looking for jobs all at once and a lot of companies are tightening their belt. For the senior devs (like the ones we’ve seen publicly fired) they’ll have zero issues. For the rest, yes, it could be a rough 2-12 months. Hiring is frozen everywhere I know of. I feel bad for everyone involved, this poo poo sucks. They clearly loved their jobs and felt good about their product. Staying at Twitter won’t be a red flag on a resume. Some people just don’t care how toxic things get, or they can’t leave for valid reasons. No future interviewer would bat an eye.

Looks like he's talking about an SEC consent decree and either he misspoke or was misreported: https://twitter.com/themaxburns/status/1592928396715388931

Wait, did Elon actually say that the FTC consent decree doesn't apply because it was signed under duress? Or was it some other moron? edit: oh ok, some other issue with the SEC

A lawyer who recently tried to explain Consent and Duress to Elon recently is very proud that the information stuck, but less thrilled that Elon is applying it outside the context it was intended for

We had a pornographer goon do an A/T before the reddit AMA was thing. Dark priest was his name. sadly the last time he was talking about the industry goons were mean to him. Then I think his wife hung herself because she got bullied on twitter.

Decon posted:And if there is a a distinct problem with places like California, it's the distinct lack of merciless bullying of people like that. The failure to ostracize someone because they insist their NFartTs are gonna revolutionize the world is why we're gonna be able to measure the impact of lovely monkey art for braindead bros in a chart of the planet's average temp. This is stupid. The managers are the bullies, you might as well try to put out a fire by squirting napalm on it.
