Handsome Ralph posted:I remember first discovering him when he wrote a long form article for Rolling Stone about the impending 2006 midterms. It was good stuff, and then like you said, his writing on the housing bubble and the ensuing financial crisis. He isn't getting paid for the Twitter files, he's working for exposure here

this thread is the one that alerted me to his belt buckle - you'll see him wearing it everywhere, even on that halloween costume he is so proud of. it's supposedly a cheap tourist trap belt that he proudly wears everywhere to prove he's very american i guess?

Gotta admit, getting a kick out of this.. A laid-off Twitter manager, who was one of Elon Musk's most loyal employees, tweeted 'cruelty is the worst' in an apparent dig at the tech mogul https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-twitter-esther-crawford-cruelty-is-the-worst-thorleifsson-2023-3?amp= Esther Crawford, a Twitter manager who was widely seen as one of Elon Musk's most loyal employees before she was laid off last month, tweeted "cruelty is the worst" on Tuesday in what other users have seen as a possible dig at her former boss. Elon Musk publicly clashed with Haraldur Thorleifsson, a former Twitter director, on Monday. After Thorleifsson tweeted that he was unsure of his employment status, noting that he had been locked out of company systems, Musk accused him of using his disability as an "excuse" to do "no actual work" — The Twitter CEO has since apologized for his comments and said that Thorleifsson "is considering remaining at Twitter." Crawford tweeted on Tuesday that "cruelty is the worst," without providing further context. She also liked some tweets about the incident, including one from Thorleifsson describing the effects of his muscular dystrophy, another one about him opening a restaurant, and one saying that he "doesn't deserve this abuse." Crawford had been known for her unwavering loyalty to Musk and was seen as an embodiment of his "hardcore" work culture. She was photographed sleeping on the office floor and reportedly defended Musk's first round of mass layoffs. But last month, Crawford was let go from her role as director of product management as part of mass layoffs that affected the product team, among others, according to multiple reports. Though both Twitter and Crawford didn't respond to Insider's request for comment on the nature of her termination, Crawford has updated her Twitter bio to say that she no longer works at the company. Platformer reported that Crawford had been among the managers included on a "do not fire" list. Crawford had been criticized online for her dedication to Twitter and Musk. "The worst take you could have from watching me go all-in on Twitter 2.0 is that my optimism or hard work was a mistake," she tweeted shortly after her departure from the company. Other people getting fired? That's okay! She gets fired and it's such cruelty!

Sentient Data posted:A) nowhere in that letter did it say he was re-tested or even if an A+ score is particularly unusual It literally was something like that. I'm a bit younger than Elon, and when I was in upper elementary, our IT classes were literally very basic computer usage, "make a picture of a slide with MS Paint, start the text processor and write a letter to your grandma" and our programming classes were literally Logo. That turtle was cute as gently caress, and my friend and I who were turbo nerds and therefore way too advanced for those classes had fun coming up with interesting ways of breaking Logo. But yeah, this is literally something anyone here could've accomplished because you know how to turn on a computer and type.

I remember taking a computer course in high school that was basically "here are the various styles of memo that you can create" and "here's how to use the format painter in Word" and "we're going to practice typing now". They had some old rear end software that would measure your typing speed and when all of the students were done it was supposed to print out a bar graph with all of the students scores, well I had already been touch typing for ages by that point so I could more effectively shitpost in chat rooms and AIM, so it printed this bar graph with 1 super long bar and a bunch of little stubby ones. The teacher made us take the test again because she thought the software had just hosed up lmao

Zulily Zoetrope posted:I can only read that line as venomously sarcastic, and from the tone of the article, I'm pretty sure the author intends for it to be read that way. Sorry for bringing this back all the way from seven pages ago, but: My old job involved me writing about social media and various phenomena related to it, including Musk's takeover of Twitter. I was expressly forbidden from writing "judgmental" statements about Musk. Judgmental statements included sentences such as: "Musk's wave of layoffs drew widespread criticism from online safety experts, labour organisers, and politicians such as congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez" "In response to Musk sacking nearly his entire moderation team, advertisers started leaving the company in droves, citing safety concerns." "Following Musk's takeover, the usage of racial slurs shot up." All of these are statements of fact, sourced from respected news organisations, but that didn't matter. My old boss was a man of Conviction™, and his Conviction™ overruled any sort of editorial experience I would have. That he was Convicted™ of extremely stupid, easily disproven things was irrelevant — he was determined to never buckle the boat under any circumstance, and "buckling the boat" included even the slightest suggestion that Elon Musk was not the genius he portrays himself as. He insisted on a "balanced" view because "the truth always falls in the middle" or somesuch nonsense. Despite not being able to construct a compound sentence, he would make increasingly inane editorial decisions; I would have to drag my other boss into long and pointless discussions where I would have to defuse every single one of his "suggestions". It got to the point where we'd devote a full day to discussing a single sentence. He made it impossible for me to get any work done unless I complied. Having worked for over a decade under This Sort of Dipshit®, I have come to believe that people become managers because they're useless at any kind of actual work. This inherent incompetence is what makes them perfect marks for the type of bullshit people like Musk are selling, and that's why every writer in the tech sphere, God save our souls, has to treat "the metaverse" and "web3" and "the AI revolution" like sensible ideas worth serious consideration. armpit_enjoyer fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Mar 10, 2023 |

It was done with a cheap Kool-Aid knock off called Flavour-Aid. Though even more interestingly "Drinking the Kool Aid" might have its origins from a book decades before the Jones Town massacre. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid

So is there any avenue for victims of Jan 6 or the government to sue or press any sort of charges against Elon, Tucker and/or Twitter for all the Jan 6 fake news conspiracy poo poo if right wing nutjobs end up acting on it somehow and causing further harm or harassment? I mean like how the Alex Jones suit went down, because I feel like he's leaned into that territory at this point.

Did you know school administrators hate it when you send a message over the network saying the school server is on fire, and that everyone should evacuate the building immediately? The funniest part about it was they could never figure out who did it, but they correctly guessed which group of shithead kids did it. So they basically told the entire Cisco networking class to knock it off or there would be serious consequences. A friend about an hour later sent another Netsend that just said "OK". The consequences ended up being they pulled our internet access for about a week.

You could bend down to tie your shoe and when you sat up, none of your icons would work and he'd be looking over at you shiftily. I once hit a dude with the ol' CTRL+ALT+[DOWN ARROW]. I didn't even think anything of it until he came back and I hear muttering and things moving. Dude was in the process of rotating his entire monitor (it was a CRT even though it was like 2012 when this happened).
