ngl, corporations being forced to come on here and publicly say shit like "we apologize for the impersonator account that tweeted that everyone deserves food, clean water, and shelter, that is absolutely not what we stand for" is pretty funny.

If you need a laugh this morning, Elon's idea of curbing abuse for Twitter Blue was predicated on "If you get suspended I keep your $8" and I think after a twelve-hour session with puppets and background music he finally grasped the idea of "credit card chargebacks."

My heart goes out to all those still at Twitter. Y'all must be going through hell right now. Thank you for sticking it out so far, but don't (figuratively, one hopes) kill yourself for this site. You don't deserve this treatment. Get out if you can. Condolences if you can't.

Scoop from within Twitter: small things are breaking, not enough engineers to fix them. Noticed that notification counts are not showing? The BE service powering it is down since Thursday. A bug was filed, but the team that would fix it is full on with verification work.

When you share a tweet, the URL copied contains a parameter ?t=XYZ. This is the encoded user ID of the person who shared this tweet (aka your user ID). Twitter can track this way who views the link that you shared elsewhere. To maintain privacy, manually delete this parameter.

I don't want this site to implode! I have built up a network of people I love to read and followers who are supportive and engaged. I will miss that. If you want to get to know more women techies, there are a few on this list: twitter.com/i/lists/712989… I hope to stay in touch

Elon’s “pedo guy” gaffe is memorable because it remains one of the few examples of him trying to work the room on his own instead of biting someone else’s joke or posting the rolling laugh-cry emoji. and all he could do was smear an actual hero as a sex offender. lol and lmao

So, look. I completely agree with this. And I’m obviously vested in this website. But when it’s being driven off a cliff by a man-child who thinks the rules of the road don’t apply to him…🤷‍♂️

As I said, @Twitter is the best source of information there is, by a huge margin, if you know how to use it (hint- not to signal virtue or call names!). Rather than quitting, let´s do our best to help.

Since purchasing Twitter for $44 billion, Elon Musk has reportedly attempted to cut costs by eliminating some 3,700 jobs. The Onion asked several former employees how they felt about being laid off, and this is what they said. bit.ly/3WYTNX0

I realize this has to be sarcasm but for those that think this should be a thing maybe you should verify facts and not take someone else's word for it without doing any research.

Do you genuinely not understand why changing the meaning of a well-established UI element that is a core part of Twitter's brand might confuse users? Did you not predict this? We sure did.

Nelson "Parody is Impossible Now" Minar (@nelson)Fri, 11 Nov 2022 22:14 GMT

Few notes. If you teach your user base, verification means something specific, it will be hard for them to unlearn it. We learned that it's rare for a verified account trying to phish us. Changing the meaning of the check is a security issue.

So, does Elon Musk's new paid Twitter Blue verification system lead to more scams? 🤔 Hmmm, I don't know, let's ask this Verified Twitter account over here, he seems rather official.🔵Tens of thousands of people seem to agree... ☝️🧐

This is why it's not fun to work on established products. You have unwritten contracts with your users and sometimes both sides are not aware of them until they are broken. Build new verticals under the same brand, that's how you kick off new greenfield products.

Eli Lilly stock isn't just tanking because of a satirical Tweet on Musk's hellscape, it's tanking because millions of people are asking why we have to pay for insulin, when it was made to be free. That's why other insulin stocks are falling too. Happy Disability Awareness Month
