Carmack owns and yes I was very disappointed that he chose to work at loving Facebook. But it’s hard to deny he’s built different, a real big brain motherfucker. Also he was on Joe Rogan Living in Texas gets to you I suppose :cowboy:

Also I remember that yes, Carmack knew he was smart, but every time he could, he bowed to Michael Abrash of the black book of graphics. So how smart was THAT dude

Edmund Sparkler posted:Even from working lovely retail jobs, I learned that someone coming in as an outside hire to a manager or even supervisor position is usually going to be a disaster. Usually, the problem was arrogance and entitlement that they want to mold things to their ideal while making zero effort to learn the company culture, procedures, or internal politics.

How is the Trump poll going? I want to see results but don't want to encourage this billionaire man child either way If he does bring him back I'm shutting it all down. I left Facebook like *that*. Twitter is not even close Sucks for all those govt and corpos that made Twitter their first line of customer communications for emergencies and such

heavy liquid posted:Doesn't matter, this is just performative. He'll bring him back regardless, even if the Twitter bot army and trolls don't win the vote, which they absolutely will. I understand he's probably already decided, I just don't want to give him even a single extra vote to validate his existence  I would've probably voted yes just to kill the site faster, but he's doing a great job on his own Total Party Kill posted:Brb Watching a movie in two minute increments hope you're doing it on a mobile phone, just like the authors intended

Neddy Seagoon posted:When Twitter falls, it's gone and potentially never coming back. Anyone who knows what's broken and why left or was fired, and the people that crunch for Musk probably aren't gonna stick around for long either. Last one out won't need to switch off the lights, the power will short out on its own. these here forums chugged along for years with only the combined might of Lowtax and Radium code even moot managed to run 4chan Are you telling me, experienced forums user Comfy, that Elon is a worse webmin than these giants of the early internet?

mind the walrus posted:I really don't expect it to, but god drat I want it to. I really loving do. Just, once have some follow-through universe. Don't let some scrambling dickheads at the bottom save the incompetent Captain. I've seen it so, so many times. Same, but tbh Twitter is not some magical tech impossible to replicate, and their systems seem pretty resilient considering 90% of workers already left. Like, yeah, it might be slower at times, but it looks to be working fine. Better than in the whale days. Not bad for a company with no loving payroll dept. props to infrastructure engis And sure, yeah, someone mentioned it’s a pretty complex system, but it’s not even slow today. Maybe some vids take a little longer to load. The fired Twit-gineers were predicting boxes on fire by now. Twitter is/was valuable because of the celeb users, and ease of posting without too much racism and prejudice. If that goes, then yes Twitter is dead. So far only a couple celebs seem to even know what’s happening. However… the racism and antivaxxers are out in force, and I’ve stopped posting and won’t go back, but I’m looking at the train crash with mixed feelings. I love watching Elon fumble. And… Hey, even tumblr came back! (tumblr is great now imo)

Mathemortician posted:Welp, this whole thing just stopped being funny. If you have not deleted your twit acct, or at least stopped using it and moved to tumblr or wherever, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m done with this idiot, I knew he was bringing trunpo back. I’m just waiting for the inevitable crash, but it looks like it will take much longer than expected. I don’t know how people will continue using Elon’s trash site hanging with racists and antivaxxers. Enjoy your social network you pieces of trash still trying to make a buck off twitter.

Frank Frank posted:It’ll be like MySpace. Twitter will exist until someone offers a more attractive alternative. I don’t think Mastodon is the answer without a massive redesign but you’d be crazy to think that there aren’t a ton of people out there right now trying to figure out what the next big thing will be. What are the chances the ex twitter employees band together and roll their own?

Hardcastlemccormik posted:It worked when Musk’s brand was “real life Tony Stark.” But there’s only so long you can fart in public before everyone starts to notice. He's well past farting. His diarrhea is flowing down his pants leg, but he's trying to act normal. Actually he's totally laughing about it 🤣. Everyone's leaving and he's all "Oh, can't take a little diarrhea? snowflakes 🤣"

Sydney Bottocks posted:It helps to remember that when the 40k setting began in the late 1980s, it was depicted as being just as lovely and grimdark as the original Warhammer Fantasy setting (namely a setting where everything was hosed up, and there wasn't really any "good" side, as they were all just different types of evil and oppressive), made by guys who thoroughly loathed Thatcher's Britain and were more than happy to satirize aspects of it with 40k. A friend got really into WH40k recently, reading the books and all, and I'm a bit worried, ngl

Strategic Tea posted:Even if you take a really charitable interpretation of Augustus, you end up with a dictator who shattered everything around him in order to take absolute personal control, and then spent the rest of his life rubbing the pieces together wondering why they wouldn't start working again. wait what, are we talking about Octavian or some different Augustus? I don't know much about history but I read a book about him and it's basically 300 pages of giving him a handbeezy for being the best leader ever who managed to keep together a crumbling Rome and conquered lots of territory and created Pax romana and had a cool wife This is the book https://www.academia.edu/76808120/Augustus_the_life_of_Romes_first_emperor fake edit: I've forgot most of the book but Wikipedia seems to agree this dude owned. I mean I guess he betrayed his triumvirate bros(mostly because Antony was not as politically savvy), but they were all dictators in that era anyway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus Zuckerberg sucks but that's not a bad dude to look up imo

MikeJF posted:I miss RSS feeds. They only died because of Twitter, and now we need them back. RSS feeds live! Most blogs still use them, and most news site too. For apps my favorites are feedly + Reeder on iOS, but there’s a ton of worthy apps for your RSS reading pleasure! I love Reeder, open the app and you get a giant feed of the sites you subscribe, or you can go in and check headlines per-website subscription. Twitter dying is great for RSS! There’s dozens of us!
