If I was the (former) richest man in the world, or even had a mere nine, eight, hell seven-figure net worth, I would hope my life was not so empty and meaningless that I spent my time desperately craving public validation from somebody who named himself after a piece of cat poo poo.

The funniest thing to me is one person in that thread offering a possible solution to the problem and entirely missing the point that this tweet was not asking for technical advice

https://twitter.com/lion_tender/status/1631781518380089350

It's kinda wholesome really, and one of the few things I like so much about the more social side of the internet (though I guess that's more forums than twitter). No matter the subject there's almost always an expert out there perfectly willing to help a complete stranger.

This is just enragingly stupid. It completely mischaracterises the whole Scott Adams video, in which he takes a minority of responders to a right wing poll not agreeing with a known white supremacist dog whistle and says “therefore the monolithic blacks as a noun are a hate group, get away from black people”.

The guy who made that response is a loving idiot making a video in support of someone who hates him.

the best thing to do is nothing since it will take them longer to realize the alert was sent to someone who doesn’t care. don’t reply, don’t say it was sent in error, just let it sit.

A beautiful thought experiment but if fired engineers have any actual access to Twitter systems they've done an even worse job than I'd expect.

The big news here is that the actual pager rotation is so thin and they haven't removed fired employees that they have probably intentionally assigned non-employees to their pager policies so it looks like they might be covered in an emergency but really it's just texting people who won't be doing anything.

Wait, are physical pagers still a thing? I just figured it was an app or simple texting interface that their number never got removed from after they left.

The main app used by tech companies for on-call is named PagerDuty and because of this everyone still uses the term pager lol.

This. I never got why you should offer your services to your former employer for an exaggerated amount. Has that ever worked?

Just block the number and continue doing whatever you were doing. Who the hell wants to get caught up in some inherited rich boy pretending to be an IT guy and loving it up pieces at a time?

Pagers are still used in many places because they are closed circuit. The NHS has pagers still and all the hospitals are built with pager circuits in even now because if there is an extended, area wide power cut they will still work.

If you're texting things or using internet for that purpose an area power cut will knock out local cell towers and local exchanges and emergency staff won't hear things about where they need to be to deal with situations. Whereas the pager loop is connected to the emergency backup generators in the hospital and will be unaffected and continue to work.

Its occasionally a similar situation in big factories (like aircraft factory big), but mainly hospitals.
