someone said this a few days ago but chuds don't actually want a platform to talk to chuds. they want a platform to 'piss off the libs' and if elon scares off all the sane people then why would the racist loons use twitter?

Elon just needs to make liberal bots for them to make fun of. "Haha stupid "smarter child" doesn't even know who the president is! Still thinks it's Bill Clinton!"

I’m so sad Elon took Twitter private because the best barometer for how much he’s sucking is not available to us just vibes

$TSLA is still up, and $ARKK is very heavy TSLA and private twitter shares - yes twitter still has multiple owners. I don't know what percent of Twitter this fund owns but of their publicly traded stocks 10% is in Tesla it's their top ticker.

he won't get it though. same with trump, sure he also has chuds who will lick every fleck of poo poo off of musks rear end but musk doesnt get a THRILL from them, he wants everyone to treat him like they did 10 years ago, like irl tony stark. instead he is a joke to tons of folks and only conditionally liked by chuds.

The day most people stopped seeing him as cool was the day he played Wario on SNL. It was fun to watch in real time as the overall view shifted. He's starting to become Wario to be honest.

So it's clear only complete idiots will pay Musk $8 for a checkmark.

This raises the question though, how many chuds will throw money at this to own the libs? Enough to sustain twitter with half employees and no ad revenue?

I think a lot of people are going to for a week or two on jokes. "Attention all students school is closed today due to a boiler leak"

$8 for a day home is pretty sweet until they figure out who it was but teenagers don't think that far.

Strong Sauce posted:

You are the only DevOps engineer who has ever deployed the Blue Checkmark Pipeline, consequently you are also the only person from your team who knows the URL to the Jenkins server and knows which jobs need to be executed on the Jenkins server because people randomly just copied older jobs and left them on there because "it's not like half of us are going to get fired overnight so someone will always know which ones are the unused jobs"

Keep in mind there is a small % likelihood that someone who's still there realizes that there's another fired employee who handled the IT that setup the URL for the Jenkins servers and an intern you taught a couple times which jobs to run to get the Blue Checkmark Pipeline executed. The intern left for another team so they don't remember the URL but if they type in "jenkins" into their URL bar it will autocomplete. So there is an element of risk that you will get undercut.

How much money do you ask for to go back and fix this issue?

Late 2023 but will also include Alex Jones who they both paid 1billion to have a friend by paying off his debt and now is sitting pretty with 500m of each of their money making him the third billionaire stooge. (In this scenario the parents have clearly been paid from the other billion)

And the "people were prevented from buying" thing was mostly just on robinhood, because robinhood is a lovely operation that is basically scamming their users. But also, because if everyone wants to buy and nobody is selling, they can't let you press the buy button. Expecting the stock market to work like a video game is the problem, but again, robinhood is a scam.

What actually happened with Robin Hood is accounts are on margin (credit) by default. The actual transactions take a few days to clear but until they do you (and the broker, in this case RH) own the shares on credit. RobinHood ran out of credit and instead of explain that they panicked and restricted the stock being over traded.

If they had run out of credit... I'm not sure the legal obligation there but probably something not good.

If most people has cash accounts they wouldn't have been able to quickly buy sell buy sell with the same money until the transactions all cleared.

Everything else sounds right and this is a piece that didn't come out until later as they weren't thrilled about saying we almost maxed our credit.

I find twitter embeds break when you block ads and poo poo and I don't care enough I want embeds working more. I'm not troubleshooting that poo poo every time it breaks it's weekly. Twitter sucks at everything. Oh no I log into an account and get embeds working on the forums and discord. Price: being tracked by twitter.

It's not actually editing. You can undo posting a tweet for like a few minutes is literally all it is. You can't edit something that was already posted. It's exactly how it operates now when you delete a tweet except it just copies the body of the tweet into a new message for you. This was pre-Musk and was dumb as poo poo then, too.
