Elon will start a love affair with Linda, she'll get pregnant and on a Ketamine binge Elon will marry without a prenup.

Linda will be getting all of Twitter on the inevitable divorce

Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino has been posting non-stop all weekend to assure the user base that everything is fine.

Just kidding, she hasn't posted since Friday and is probably on vacation and doesn't give a poo poo.

That’s basically what is going to happen. All of the data is sitting in some sort of database. It isn’t exactly trivial but not a massive engineering endeavor to migrate it all. I am sure if you had a team of a dozen folks they could get something functional going in a week or two.

building a site that has to handle serving distributed data to billions of requests does take a bit of work and while I'm sure Twitter's codebase has faults there's probably pretty good reason stuff was so 'bespoke'

but yea I wouldn't doubt it's reasonable to outperform current-day twitter given a dedicated team and a month or so

Google says real baby sister. He has two siblings from his mother and father and that is one of them.

Was curious as Tosca is a pretty great electronica group. Dorfmeister's second project for anyone familiar. It's apparently a pretty well used named in South Africa but also -

I don't see why any established tech company would want to buy Twitter or any other product that requires a high level of moderation (or moderation policy setting). Pay money to immediately get a lot of negative attention from politicians, pissed off users, and racists.
because even with all its issues twitter is still one of the most visited sites online. not the most visited or anything but its a large captive audience. a lot of legitimate infrastructure of multiple industries runs through it, for whatever reason.

not to mention that anyone buying it off elon and fixing the issues would mostly be hailed as a savior. like whatever weird Free Speech warriors would complain but most normal people would prefer a site that functions.

like myspace was passed around from buyer to buyer over a decade after it had any relevancy because it still had something resembling a userbase.

quote:

In June 2011, Specific Media Group and Justin Timberlake jointly purchased the company for approximately $35 million.[16] On February 11, 2016, it was announced that Myspace and its parent company had been purchased by Time Inc. for $87 million.[17][18] Time Inc. was in turn purchased by Meredith Corporation on January 31, 2018.[19] On November 4, 2019, Meredith spun off Myspace and its original holding company (Viant Technology Holding Inc.) and sold it to Viant Technology LLC

you can still, technically, go to myspace dot com. its just a music news/favorite bands listing site now but it still gets nearly twice as many visitors as the site we are currently on right now.

Well I was just talking about migrating the user data to a new backend/platform. Building the rest of the site is the more difficult engineering/coding problem. Being able to remake Twitter effectively from scratch using a Google/whomever infrastructure would make a much better and faster site since you wouldn't have to remake the wheel for a lot of things. For example Google already have a robust account system and security protocols with it. Being able to slot stuff like that in takes a huge amount of work out of it.

From hearing from former employees the Twitter architecture and stack was a nightmare held together by scotch tape and gum. I am sure it is much worse now.

Speaking of cropping, was it Twitter that had that scandal some years ago (5+ I think) where the autocropper tool would crop white people properly for thumbnails but crop out black people if they were the main focus of the pictures? Or I think the worse was if there was a black and white dude in it it would crop out the black dude and focus on the white guy?
