Maybe I’m dumb, but this is starting to seem like these Tech CEOs are dumber than we thought.
Why not just make 4000 accounts and have distributed scraping? What are they going to do next? “Unverified Twitter accounts can only be accessed 10 times?”
They’ve always been dumb. You don’t put smart people in CEO chairs, you put smart people to do the actual work and leave all the decision making to idiots. Hence the results.
The ones who have that position because they provided capital or such really have nothing left to offer. And I bet that actually really bothers these venture capitalists. They have no use other than their money. When they try to show that they do, they prove that they don’t.
I barely get change out of $100 for two people and food in “Austrortia” . That’s with one large popcorn, a choc-top and two large sodas. Needless to say I don’t go very often.
I’ve made Bean and Ham soup in an enameled Dutch Oven, and a Sirloin Tip Roast in my regular Dutch Oven. Roast RecipeThis is my first comment, I hope the link works :) I had made different recipe and found that cast iron on Med High doesn’t play well with oil added to the hot pan. Thank goodness I chose my Dutch Oven, because the lid was right there to smother the flames. Yikes!
So with Spez having a hard on for Elon and how he runs Twitter, how long until we see this on Reddit? Premium members can view 1000/day posts and regular members can only view 100 posts/day. Similar rule will apply to comments too.
removing third party apps itself is a good business move from the view of shareholders, reminding you spez's main goal is to be known as the wall street guy that successfully raised his company, not pleasing users. but the whole process while doing that was very very laughable
spez is just incompetitive imo. musk is straight out deranged and lost touch with reality. he loses billions of dollars and absolutely doesn't care, spez is probably stressed af right now
What did he even think the purpose of APIs were. Data scraping puts unnecessary load on servers only to scrape out majority of the content. It’s funny how he shoots himself in the leg and now complain.
I don't know about twitter but it is common for the API to also be powering the front end regular user's interact with. No matter what it's stupid to rate limit this heavily.
I’m excited to be here! I heard a lot about the digg migration to reddit around when I first started on there 10 years ago. Never thought I’d be a part of the next one so soon!
Somehow I doubt it’s even that. The guy’s just a braindead, incompetent moron. I don’t think the fucker’s even smart enough to realize this is literally the worst possible decision he could’ve made.
Seems naive to prioritize stupidity over malice when trying to make sense out of the actions of businessmen and politicians, but Elon has shown a penchant for stupidity lately.
im pretty certain he is being paid by the saudis to destroy twitter. it's way too powerful a vehicle to be in the hands of the proletariat.
this might sound crazy but ..... this is why kbin/lemmy etc is so important. in about 2 years+ time, there will be a gigantic global civil war as the masses rise up and seek to annihilate the billionaires. the billionaires will hide behind the use of nukes by russia, then china invades taiwan, then WW3, then Biden is cloned, Covid26 arrives, global tsunamis and geostorms, and then the aliens invade. It's all pretty much clear. we need to organise now, to just give 0.5% of our kids a miniscule chance to survive the coming extinction of humanity.
