Fuckit, yes I will educate you
[quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="blackwater"]You predicted Twitter's servers would fall over after they fired half the workers. They didn't.[/quote] I'm not going to bother to take time to educate you, but you really, really shouldn't ever post about tech.[/quote] I am doing this because I care about you. This is from The Verge: [quote] On January 23rd, Android users temporarily couldn’t load new tweets or post them. On February 8th, an error message told users that they were “over the daily limit for sending Tweets,” preventing them from posting. On February 15th, tweets stopped loading. On February 18th, the timeline broke and replies disappeared. On March 1st, the timeline stopped working. [/quote] This lacks some of the other outages and own-goals. For instance, it lacks: 1. the intentional disabling of the third party API, and Musk was too much of a pussy to say that he did that, so it seemed like it just died 2. the time when Musk turned off Twitter Spaces for everyone because he got humiliated during one 3. the times, plural, when he unblocked himself for most everyone and (some) people had to go re-block him 4. the time he rolled out Twitter Blue and had to have it turned off because it wasn't working right 5. the fact that the office smells like shit, curry and semen because he fired the janitorial staff and is making H1-Bs sleep there 6. the intentional non-paying of bills to vendors There's at least two other sub-hour outages missing from the Verge's timeline. No, my man, the servers did not <i>literally fall over</i>. I get that you and the hackernews guy think that everyone was wrong because the servers did not <i>literally topple</i>. But the site itself has had problems on a pretty much nonstop basis, especially when you consider that there are many instances of problems that were intentional, but Musk was too much of a coward to tell people that features were disabled so the perception is that something died. It's been an unmitigated disaster since he took over and fired all the people he fired. <i>Of course</i> it has been proven that, yes, he really did need a lot of those people. I'm sorry that you thought that a large server rack was going to, in real time, literally fall on its side. [/quote]
