I tried to help; I truly did.
You did good, Cap. I just got a Popular Link Badge.
This link goes to a recording spliced from a Twitter Space, in which Musk says (paraphrasing) “the whole crazy stack has to be reengineered”, and a former Java virtual machine engineer who worked at Twitter calls him out to explain that, or even to say what the current stack looks like. This is gold, and is probably one of my favorite events of this whole meltdown.
ETA wth, does this turdknuckle even know what an engagement is?
Mr. Thin Skin
Who do you think you are
Mr. Thin Skin
I’m never gonna buy your car
That’s when you give your secretary a horse in excuse for an NDA and a waiver of child support rights, isn’t it?
Holy shit! I love him calling Elon “buddy” and Elon following up with “you’re a jackass”. I tip my cap to Mr. “Buddy”!
Elmo probably thinks of himself as a Brain Bug.
And that’s not a bad metaphor for the way he’s built his wealth: buying up the good ideas other people have generated, and claiming they’re his own.
Elmo decided to use yesterday’s Tesla investor call as a platform to rant about how using pronouns makes you an asshole, because he’s TOTALLY not triggered by his trans daughter cutting him off no sirree Bob.
" … they felt like Musk was ‘punching down to a really marginalized community’."
That’s what bullies do.
You could previously see views on your own tweets, you can now see view counts on everyone’s tweets.
Elmo has ordered the shutdown of Twitter’s suicide prevention services.
Because of course he did. Anybody have access to three ghosts?
Luke Simon, one of Elon’s most valued lieutenants at Twitter, was tweeting about how the workers they brought back are not very good, and how they should get rid of them once they drain their brains, because they aren’t Elon fanboys. Well, Simon is out.
Tesla repackages and upcharges existing technology to supposedly tweak Apple and maybe grab a few bucks.
Can’t decide whether that’s more vaingloriously delusional than Trump’s NFTs.
Amaaaaziing Eeelon,
How sweet the tweeet
That pwns
A troooooll
Like theeeeee…
I hearing… from accounts I consider credible… that someone very likely scraped 400,000,000 Twitter accounts, including names/phone#/passwords, and is offering this for sale.
This is developing, btw. It may even be an elaborate ruse. But the story does seem to be gaining traction:
I read on reddit that that leak is from a year ago. Corrections welcome.
As somebody who has twitter comprehensively blocked at all my firewalls, I’m learning less and less in these twitter-related threads because more and more of the threads’ contents are, ironically, direct links to tweets. Which appear to me as large blank spaces.
Further, if we’re right that twitter is soon to collapse or morph into something unrecognizable, the guts of this and the other twitter threads will simply be one gigantic 404 punctuated by occasional witticisms or OMGs! from various Dopers.
I don’t know how challenging it would be for posters to repost a tweet’s content versus just hotlinking to it. I also don’t know how desirable it would be for us to perpetuate some twitter contents here. There may in fact be SDMB rules or copyright issues with us doing so. We also don’t want to provoke a “board war” with something that outnumbers us thousands to 1.
I just find it funny to read the thread with most of what folks are citing or are outraged about being simply a big blank box.
