I'm genuinely interested. there's archive.org, there's turning off js in your browser, or there's my method of choice: installing a terminal-based browser like lynx and view paywalled articles there. similar really to shutting off js in your normal browser, but more fun, somehow. embrace the old.

Just had a thought of if anyone at Twitter was still left to handle subpoenas from law enforcement agencies. Since Twitter is going to see a huge influx of CSAM as content moderation dies I am sure the FBI or other agencies are going to love not getting responses to their search warrants

A wave of employee resignations caused the hashtag “#RIPTwitter” to trend on the site on Thursday — not for the first time — alongside questions about whether a skeleton crew of remaining staff can keep the 16-year-old service afloat. oh, that explains why he wanted it so badly

It’s obvious that many Elon fans are elated that all these people are losing their jobs because they were so outraged at the idea of employees genuinely enjoying their employment, taking pride in the work or caring about their co-workers. The replies under any post an ex-employee makes is rapidly filled up by guys explaining how work should only be misery and wanting to be paid for your labor is wanting handouts and talking about how much you valued your co-workers is weak baby poo poo.

Waffle House posted:I think this is a good time to point out that Elon Musk suddenly disappearing would have a net effect of positive change for the world. This thought will surely more than cross the minds of both fired Twitter 1.0 employees defaulting on their mortgages, and hyper-stressed 16/7 Twitter 2.0 employees, increasingly over the next few months. Sadly, if Musk does eat a bullet, he'll become a saint to the Alt Right, and be a role model for them even more than currently.

Whenever I get excited about Twitter failing, I flash back to the SA experts of 2016 repeating “Hillary’s got this” because of the polls and shouting anyone down for corncobbing as things got worse and worse. I hope this isn’t another mass gaslighting.

MikeJF posted:Gwynne Shotwell does the actual running of SpaceX, Musk just makes big statements and insists on dumb things with the Starship project. I wonder if Musk is so hands-on with Twitter because it's his first chance in a while to be a "real" decision maker and not just some figurehead that throws ideas at the wall. Which is also why it all has gone to poo poo - turns out he's a bad leader.

Nessus posted:the weird specific impulse to just go around and tell people to be miserable seems like it should have some kind of German name. Every German I've met has told me that the key secret behind their national reputation for efficiency is a cultural understanding that overwork is poo poo work, and the best way to get results is patience and never compromising your coworkers' down time. The word I've heard used for people with the impulse you're describing is "idiot," which is apt, but probably not what you're looking for.

I knew a computer toucher who single handedly ran the ordering system for a massive flower importing business, he once told me he did nothing for 6 days 22 hours a week and got paid for the 2 hours things went south because some idiot unplugged something or there was a power outage at 4am, and that's how you knew he earned his massive pay cheque, if he'd been working all day and night it would have meant what he built them was shite.

I hope this isn’t another mass gaslighting. Your skepticism is probably smart. Elon Musk is an idiot and a dweeb, but failing a hardware crash or debts going wild Twitter isn't going anywhere. We are clowning on Elon but until a substantial number of user move to other places it's going to be here. And let's be honest, 90% of the site has a terminal posting addiction just like Elon. I think we are stuck with the site until the signs of mental issues and attention become to large to ignore and people panic about their usage. (So maybe never.) Elon definitely just lost a shitload of money either way and twitter just isn't going to be worth that much. So there is a nice part of it.

Most "polls" were Tweets, and some of them probably not so honest or reliable. In fact, I'm gonna guess major news orgs at the time were Twitter dependent and "called" many races based on Tweets.

Yup. If you build the system right, everything should be scripted and automated. If you are constantly having to fine tune and tweak and manually intervene, its gonna be unsustainable eventually. But that's what you pay good devs and IT janitors for. https://twitter.com/petrillic/status/1593686223717269504?s=20&t=R2qWRtpDTi5oR9pyIsjZsA
