“This letter is so pathetic in terms of whining: Mr. Free Speech Absolutist, just a crybaby hiding behind his lawyers,” O’Dowd said in an interview. (Musk has said he supports free speech and welcomes criticism.)

Is O'Dowd a judge? Calling out Musk as a whining crybaby is an :iceburn: and I'm here for it

I'm curious if the $8 dollars for half as many ads will actually cause Twitter to loose money on each verified user.

Who am I kidding, I'm sure this has gone through the long and through vetting process Musk is known for.

Basically every programmer who has any sort of system that has an uptime, they always wonder how long their product will stay upright and functional (at a glance, from the outside) without active maintenance.

The goal, obviously, is to keep it running indefinitely. This is a pipe dream but Twitter had some very smart people working for it until they all got laid off. It hasn’t even been 24 hours since they stopped working.

Nobody really knows for sure what will happen. It could be a simple failure that Musk’s court jesters can stumble through figuring out. It could also be something really hard. It could also be like 24 things that are all happening concurrently. The worse it gets, the longer the downtime will be when it comes, and that downtime can definitely extend into months. A downtime of months is death.

But the site will atrophy. Visibly. We already see features failing to work. User names often can’t be changed. 2FA via text stopped working for a bit and had a glaring security flaw. The site is sluggish and doesn’t reliably load everything anymore.

Will we get fireworks? I dunno.

A scheduled task that cleans up logs fails and no one notices or knows how to fix it, then a hard drive fills up and the OS crashes, that server could have been doing any sort of critical thing and anything that relies on it is now bombing and it goes from there. There's lots of little things that people are taking care of day to day and now there's a lot less of those people.
