Many broke ass, rank & file Republicans think that Donald Trump is the “smartest” person they know, and a good businessman. That’s just sad and stupid as fuck. He bankrupted a casino ffs.

As Twitter Goes Down Yet Again, Report Highlights How Fragile Its Infrastructure Has Become

On Wednesday there was yet another major global outage at Twitter, something that feels like it’s becoming a recurring issue and bringing us

This is why I am leaving Twitter for more reliable alternatives.

A site like Twitter is more difficult to manage than many other sites, because it’s highly custom to each and every viewer, and has a real-time aspect built into it as well. That combination is tough to do well, and Twitter built up a team of engineers who made it work.

And Elon Musk fired basically all of them.

The site is becoming more unreliable & the algorithmic timeline is just awful. New York Times have more info about this.

‘Sometimes Things Break’: Twitter Outages Are on the Rise

Elon Musk’s repeated job cuts are stoking new fears that there aren’t enough people to triage Twitter’s problems.

In February alone, Twitter experienced at least four widespread outages, compared with nine in all of 2022, according to NetBlocks, an organization that tracks internet outages. That suggests the frequency of service failures is on the rise, NetBlocks said. And bugs that have made Twitter less usable — by preventing people from posting tweets, for instance — have been more noticeable, researchers and users said.

Twitter is currently useful to me for two things: customer support (it’s still faster than almost any other alternative) & searching tweets for information. Aside from that the site sucks as much as the ads.

Went to the Shedd Aquarium today and of course I went straight for the toys with the orca on the cover. Such a cute orca on the package..... and then I turned it over to reveil this monstrosity. What the hell is that!?!? Why can no one get an orca right?
