The thing that's annoying about this is that some very high profile names know exactly what's going on and have not said a word. People have lost a lot of money. The organisers have made a lot of money. Never forget this because it will happen again next year otherwise.

Post details

This @ModernFrontends conference is a shower of shit. I’ve had a number of speaker friends tell me how much a shambles the organisers have been, putting them out of pocket. Now, they’re not live streaming, even tho they have charged god knows how many people for virtual tickets

This graph is the number of fediverse messages per day my little single-user instance has been receiving over the past year. Something is different.

I don’t want to hear that technical systems can survive without human intervention ever again.

having ever thought elon musk is smart or talented is now a permanently disqualifying trait, like supporting the iraq war

Patrick Cosmos (@veryimportant)Thu, 10 Nov 2022 21:35 GMT

still curious how much the college kid tracking elon’s private jet (@elonjet) on here factored into all this. elon first reached out to him nov 30 to take it down, negotiated with him over ownership of the account until jan 23, started gobbling up twitter shares around that time:

$220 billion man who just fired 3700 Americans needs your $8 to turn a profit. Can you spare the price of one cup of coffee to help a billionaire sell your free speech back to you?

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

since twitter won't have an HR department you can just lie about having worked there now. you did a six year stint in whatever area helps you get the job you're applying for. nobody can stop you

And I too was laid off from Twitter today with no notice. I was the lead software engineer responsible for the feature where you're reading a tweet and the screen automatically refreshes and you never see that tweet ever again. Wish me luck.

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices. Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.

Alex Cohen (@anothercohen)Fri, 18 Nov 2022 00:42 GMT

when twitter goes down, I recommend you spend the time you'd otherwise spend wandering aimlessly, instead reading How Complex Systems Fail, Seeing Like a State, The Field Guide to Human Error, How to Kill a City, and a lot more but those are the most widely accessible

Decided to request my Twitter archive again, and when choosing the SMS way to receive the code, I'm told that I've exceeded the number of messages. Not that I couldn't get my archive (could receive the code via email)... it's that Twitter exhausted their SMS allowance. 🍿🔥

The world’s richest man swallowed the largest civilian reporting tool in history because his plan for a centuries-long empire of infinite IVF babies and cars that only kind of do what they say do was being exposed. That probably shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

For some people this is a collapse of infrastructure. Social infrastructure, of course, in obvious ways, but also organizing infrastructure and survival and care infrastructure. Remember: A billionaire is doing this bc he does not like who was allowed to build influence on here.

After Elon Musk, the next 3 top shareholders in Twitter are: Blackrock, Vanguard and SSgA. They are also the top 3 shareholders in the world's largest arms company, Lockheed Martin. Strange idiosyncrasies and probable incompetence aside, it's a big club; is Musk really in it?

This is the sad part. The way we interact on here is completely different than any other app. Even if you end up following each other on insta or tiktok it’s just not the same level of communication.
