Lol at bringing back permabanned morons. I'm sure Twitter banned them impulsively and without any due diligence. Why does that behaviour sound familiar...

i don't think jordan peterson or the babylon bee were ever permabanned, just probed until they deleted a particular tweet which they refused to do on principle

i dunno about the other one

The truly hosed one, imo, is reinstating LibsOfTikTok, actual domestic terrorism pushers linked to bomb threats and other capital c Crimes.

The big new news from this article: Elon wants to shut down the data center in Sacramento, leaving the other two data centers to take the load.

Let's not go overboard about D&D goons. I'll accept 30%... but I don't know about half.

well yeah, that's the idea; they win, they can do whatever they want. The problem is that at some point they will start losing the libs they want to troll and also the servers will go down. I legitimately wonder what's going to happen to people who are legitimately Twitter poisoned.

It’s quite a few years late to revive Vine. They’d need to rewrite the whole thing and play catch-up.

Meanwhile Twitter itself has zero folks in the driver’s seat and is puttering towards a cliff, and the engine is clicking a lot, and does somebody smell smoke…?

So does this "shadowbanning in new words" prevent RT or quoting? Because the problem was never algorithmic, it was day to day poo poo stirrers spreading garbage that was increasing reach.

I'm one of those weirdos that likes space rocketry, but I genuinely don't understand how they've at SpaceX managed to retain the competencies they have with this idiots "leadership". Like what loving dynamics are in play there?

The main people he recruited early on (the real brains) had been in aerospace for a while, and in particular were people who had done innovative & interesting work that had gone nowhere. Some of them had been at bigger MIC conglomerates which just sat on and squandered their work. Some had been through a bunch of failed aerospace startups that had lots of ambition but not enough funding.

So when SpaceX started it was able to attract a ton of talent who has been frustrated until then, and there's no motivation to put in extra hours like "gently caress you, I told you so".


Fast forward to now and they have a huge burnout problem, but it's still the only company that's doing really exciting & ambitious ideas. So they still attract fresh talent. When your choices are Musk, Bezos, or LockMart you are compromising on something no matter which you pick.

The tiktok app is legendarily full of as much hacky data harvesting as it can have. Things like they've been busted grabbing what you have in your clipboard a few times, uses all the tricks to monitor your wake and movements and location,etc.

I mean, is it a good idea? TikTok has already fully captured that space, and why would anyone leave that to go back to the ??? that is Twitter right now? And can Twitter even actually do it? I'm not sure they have the resources to roll something that large out with it being an even bigger dumpster fire than the main site right now.

People keep bringing up how the World Cup is starting soon, and how that's a big problem. What's the specific issue - does the site just regularly get overloaded during it with extra traffic, and now it's thoroughly hosed because they currently have a less than barebones staff keeping things going?
