Allow me:
I mentioned this before but I have been told that if I do not remove 2 factor authorization from my Twitter account, my account will be closed. Well, I have been trying to remove a 2 factor authorization from Twitter for the past, oh, month, and every time I do it I get a message “an error has occurred. Please try again later.”
If this is common, the next week or the week after, expect a massive drop in Twitter users and engagement.
Agile!
Agile user retention!
Twitter: You must do this or your account will be closed!
User: Ok, I’ll close my account! Fuck twitter!
Twit: In order to close your account, you must do this first.
User: But I can’t do this, I keep getting an error message,
Twit: Then your account will be closed!
“We apologize for the inconvenience. The people responsible for the error message have been sacked.”
(On week later)
“We apologize for the continuing outages. The people responsible for sacking the people who made the error message have been sacked.”
Does that mean Twitter is being run by “Ralph” The Wonder Llama?
Møøsk.
“Mynd you, møøsk bites Kan be pretti nasti”
So even Schrödinger has a Twitter account.
Better not be that Catturd account!
The Financial Times reports that Twitter’s cost cutting is leaving them open to major lawsuits and regulatory scrutiny.
A senior staffer, who was recently laid off, said in reference to existing contracts with landlords and vendors that “Elon would always say ‘Let them sue’, it was a constant refrain.”
Pablo Mendoza, a managing director at Dubai-based Vy Capital, which provided $700m to the $44bn takeover, has been working along with Silicon Valley entrepreneur Sunil Kantaria to assess what to do with existing vendors… When telling vendors that the company does not plan on paying them, Mendoza has often resorted to pleading with them that his job is on the line…
Nevertheless, the intense cuts – and refusal to immediately pay multiple bills – has raised the spectre that Twitter will be hit with belated costs, legal challenges or regulatory scrutiny.
“It’s smoke and mirrors,” one former senior staffer said. “[Musk] is doing all this deferring of eventual costs – so he can do the victory lap.”
Wasn’t there another businessman who was infamous for not paying people and letting them sue so they would settle for a partial payment, if any at all? He got into politics I think, but left disgraced after committing numerous crimes including an attempt coup.
…
I wonder when Musk will attempt a coup?
That’s how he got Twitter,
Which he and his allies will declare to be “weaponization of the regulators” for political persecution.
Agile Witch Hunt!
That’s so funny perhaps you are becoming no longer a mere mortal?
Woe is me, I think I am becoming a god.
I know that sadly it annoys Sam that we keep calling things Agile [whatever]. I wish he could find the humor in it, because it really is quite funny.
He just has an agile sense of humor.
