When I heard about the change to block unregistered users from even reading tweets, I wondered if it affected embeds too.
One of the few good things to come out of this mess if it stops news sites from writing articles that are little more than 6 tweet embeds back to back.
Imagine being a developer and getting a phone call at 9pm on Friday of a holiday weekend and being greeted with “Sooooo real funny story. We’re going to need to do some heavy load testing on the production server and we’re gonna need you to come in”
I would simply say no. But, by this point, I would have been loudly voicing all of the potential problems. Not my problem they ignored all the warnings, I’m not gonna give up a holiday weekend for their fuck up.
In a company like Twitter, that isn’t going to offer you any kind of protection from getting fired or disciplined. Elon will just fire you anyway.
He doesn’t have the nuance and foresight to consider any of the experience of his employees because nothing he does with Twitter has any kind of strategy behind it.
He thinks Twitter is Tesla and he can do whatever he wants, but even with Tesla he’s starting to realize how wrong that actually is.

A lot of people have had their lives turned upside down by this guy. They may not be literal kings but the hierarchical nature of employment, together with the role money plays in politics, gives billionaires a lot of power over our lives.
Rich people influence your life even if they’re not politicians. Using their money and influence they push parties and organizations that push their interests, which are usually the exact opposite of what benefits ordinary people
i have no idea where the image is originally from; i saw it somewhere with the caption “not sure if this has been posted here yet” or something like that and figured it was a nice summary of the situation so i posted it here.
as much as i hate elon musk tho, it is a sort of reasonable strategy in case you’re trying to prevent incurring further hosting charges while you’re migrating 🤷♀️
not sure why he can’t just pay the hosting bill but whatever, that’s secondary i guess
There is literally no reason to do it like that other than incompetence. Platform migrations, especially for something as large as Twitter, are incredibly large undertakings that need a lot of skilled people. All those skilled people have long continued their careers at other companies.
You don’t need to know how Twitter is run, that is simply IT and business management 102.

i don’t really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter
I can’t believe people come to Lemmy of all places to defend Twitter and Musk. I’ve come here a month or so ago when the reddit news broke, but damn, it changed so much these past few days. I kind of already miss Lemmy as it was.
i’m assuming that cessation of twitter’s existence (due to lack of funds taken up by skyrocketing hosting bills) would be an even worse strategy for retaining users and maintaining desirable stock value
Do you have any proof that google’s rates are going up or are you just taking Elon at face value? Because if you are taking Elon at face value, I have some crypto to sell you.
So if you were moving to another home or apartment, is it a reasonable strategy to stop paying rent at your current home while you’re looking for a new place? Of course not. Same idea here.
if your current rent suddenly because very expensive, or you can’t afford the current rent bc you lost your job, then ye, it’s not a reasonable option, but the only option 🤷♀️
Ah yes, poor Elon is too poor to pay his bills. And Google must have suddenly increased the prices, it’s not like they have contracts to adhere to regarding those kinda things.
Hilarious how the same people who do hand wringing about paying to ensure that everybody has their needs met go to work and hand over most of the value they create through their labour to their employer. 🤡
Not just about RAM, it’s that most popular electron apps (like discord) ships really old versions of electron, and the some other electron app on your system may need another version of electron
