“I know of six critical systems (like ‘serving tweets’ levels of critical) which no longer have any engineers,” a former employee said. “There is no longer even a skeleton crew manning the system. It will continue to coast until it runs int

This can't be said enough. The "capitalism encourages healthy competition that works to the advantages of innovation and the consumer" only works when companies are prevented from cheating. And the natural inclination of anyb

Whereby "companies", what you really mean is American companies. I'm not sure why you think the alternative to shitty US companies is "terminal decline". Europe is more than capable of coming up with its own tech

Yeah, we'll see how this works out for them in the long run. I have a feeling that the end result here is they'll drive away people who use them for years, and would have continued to use them for years out of loyalty, in exchange

Just curious, what makes you think they won't do it here? I think they're 100% greedy enough to do it here. And at that point, I'll cancel. I've already kind of accustomed my parents to it by reminding them that it takes

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK ABOVE. It goes to a VERY shady "ur device is hacked! download our antivirus immediately!" site. I don't typically appeal to the almighty dang, but if you see this, it should be removed as soon as possibl

There's no way the dog is actually CEO. Twitter would be in much better shape if that were the case. (come on, someone was gonna say it.) Attempts at humor aside, I didn't even attribute any kind of legal motive to it. I just assu

I think this was a "journey is the reward" type of project.

I somehow missed this comment just now, but yeah, moderation is what I'm thinking.

My guess is these are for monitoring content, rather than generating it. Musk knows he needs mods. He just doesn't want to pay people to do it. He's probably betting that whatever they spend developing the FSD of content moderatio

For whatever it's worth, people like you are why I stuck with Apple even when they were headed for bankruptcy. Quirky, human stuff like the crayon picker (which I remember a lot of people loved; the weardown effect especially) and east

Um...for those of us who were using Macs back when it wasn't clear how much longer Apple would be around—and especially for those of us involved with web stuff—Panic is nothing short of iconic. They're one of the few indie Mac dev

Maybe just don't follow people who post that stuff/turn off boosts/block furry instances/etc? This isn't like Twitter, where it fills your feed with shit it thinks is relevant. On Mastodon, you have pretty much tota

What, they didn't go with something like 420, or even 69? I guess there's still one aspect of the company that Musk hasn't "fixed" yet...

That's an excellent question. Having given the matter some serious thought, I think what I'd suggest would be to start by making Twitter better, rather than worse. I'm not a business genius though so perhaps I'm missing

Probably the same intention they had when they were brimming with outrage over their spy balloon being shot down: pure posturing for the sake of appearances. Of course China abuses state power to the hilt, and if an American spy balloon app

Yeah, I saw that myself today. (Right after I posted a slightly snarky response to a troll, too—I wondered if I'd been banned at first.)

I thought your initial comment—the one you deleted a minute after posting it, where you were boasting about how sexually attractive you are—had more personality tbh

I'm very curious to hear more about this. All we know so far is that it was apparently cylindrical and the size of a small car. I'm wondering if it was a small zeppelin. The shape would be more suitable for piloting, but it could

It would absolutely be bad, and there would—I hope—be consequences, but if they clearly didn't intend to bomb anything, it would probably not be considered any more of an act of war than if their balloon fell out of the sky and hurt so

Yeah, I was initially interested, but then I saw that it was a subscription and I just stopped looking.
