"Twitter is failing! Twitter is failing!" Every goon claims, while endlessly embedding working tweets in every post.

This reeks of the Trump threads false hopes. Rich people don't face consequences. This world doesn't have happy endings. Musk burning Twitter to the ground would be absolutely pants-making GBS threads hilarious so it's obviously not going to happen.

Side lol at all the people who were stupid enough to pay $8.- for a service that immediately got killed and probably won’t make it back. They now likely won’t even get a full month out of the monthly subscription, can’t change their screen name, and are getting relentlessly mocked for trying to buy clout


if they used a credit card, then should raise a stink with their CC and get musk in trouble with the Big 4(or just two, Visa and Mastercard) transaction processors.

It's correct that all tech companies are continuously collapsing on themselves and only continue working through the constant struggles of operations/support engineers, right? Or is that just the places I've worked for?

Most of them are to some extent, between hackers, bugs, expiring certs, and hardware failures, even successful and we'll tech companies are constantly plugging holes and scraping barnacles off the side

I've never "used twitter" as in I have never clicked my url bar and typed https://www.twitter.com but I use the poo poo out of twitter. Some of SA's best threads are about to become ghost towns because they require that drip drip drip of news. This thread is a good example.

75% of employees were fired today because they weren't 'hardcore' enough to follow Mush's twitter2.0 idea. This encludes entire devops teams that keep different parts of the site working.

lol reminds me of the.. I think it was a chemical supply company, in Texas, that was using like a 1965 mainframe as their only computer for handling orders until the 2010s

e: found it https://www.pcworld.com/article/468250/if-it-aint-broke-dont-fix-it-ancient-computers-in-use-today.html

"Sparkler Filters of Conroe, Texas, prides itself on being a leader in the world of chemical process filtration. If you buy an automatic nutsche filter from them, though, they’ll enter your transaction on a “computer” that dates from 1948."
