Okay Advertisers, who wants to sign up for a another year of ads?

Advertisers?  Try when he makes his run at turning X.com/twitter into WeChat and fanbois are using it for their banking.

People go to their ATM to get cash or go to pay for the meal or to check out at Target or whatever, and get the message "Something went wrong. Try reloading"

COUNTERPOINT:  his fanbois would never be caught at Target.  Otherwise, the rest is spot on.

Exactly. Those guys spend their whole per diem on shirts from this badass store called Dan Flashes.

Who has an extra bluesky invite they want to give to me? I'll do anything you want (except for butt stuff, well, maybe, we can discuss).

I've been waiting forever...huge opportunity to release a bunch of invites this weekend for them

It’s really funny to clown on Musk for Twitter, but have we clowned on him yet for taking deposits for expensive Teslas in the U.K., and then instead of building them for right hand drive— shipping them LHD with a little clawed grip extender to grab stuff through the window?

'm going to be honest, this fix has me absolutely rolling. Tesla has a history of workarounds when it comes to vehicle production, and this bandaid is just the latest version of an after-sales fix. Only this time, instead of patching up cooling systems, replacing missing bolts, or warrantying cars for their steering wheels falling off) the workaround is a grabbing stick. 

Driving a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car eventually sucks. I'm not sure if you've ever driven one for an extended period of time, but the cool factor quickly wears off after you realize that everything you need to interact with requires you to completely reach over to the other side of the car.

Need a ticket for the parking garage? Stretch. Headed to the drive-thru for lunch? Stretch. Pulling up to the bank to deposit a check? Streeetch. The Reacher, however, will solve all of life's problems when it comes to your brand-new $150,000 luxury performance sedan with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

This is not a serious company. I’ll say it again— legacy makers are going to eat their lunch as EVs roll out with legacy quality and infrastructure.

All the Blue Chew ads offer a counter balance to the Chinese knock off gadgets. Twitter really knows what its users want!

I would love to know what they were going to migrate to - knowing Elmo, he's probably tried to have whoever is left repurpose every single computer they can get their hands on, whether it's server-grade or the cheap $300 PC that the admins use.

he heard an ad for wasabi on the joe rogan podcast so they're full steam ahead with migrating the stack

I guess the 600 posts thing is specific to a device? I can't read twitter on my iphone or ipad anymore, but I on my PC I can read the latest tweets--until 600???

I can’t use the app, but I logged in through Safari on my phone and it’s working for now.

This is a perfect analogy

 

It kind of feels like the internet is dying. Twitter is broken and reddit killed their mobile apps. If something happens to this place I'm fucking done. 

More info on self ddos-ing

Verifying they broke ads

 

Lmao.

 

Yeah if anyone has a bluesky invite I'd be down

any updates on how all the stupid gimmick accounts and hot take artists are coping with this saturday?

Off topic, but anyone who hasn't watched The IT Crowd should do so. It's awesome.

He’s just pissed on a personal level that ChatGPT is moving forward without him and is going full Captain Ahab, or they really are out of money.  Or both.  

The fact that he won’t pony up any of his own money to pay rent or Google/whoever else for cloud service and data centers is interesting, though.  They’ll probably default on the loan within a year, and then we get to see what happens when his fuckery officially makes the Saudis lose money.  He really should have just bought 100% himself instead of bringing in other equity owners if he was going to fuck around and find out like this.

The fact that it hit everybody at once, on July 1st at the same time worldwide makes me lean towards them not paying a bill or moving off of Google or whatever.

It is a Saturday, and some sites will do upgrades/tinkering over weekends, but those are sites whose visitors may not be doing much Saturday mornings or on weekends.  Even then, they save it for a night time zone for whoever sends them the most visitors (if it's visitors from the US, they'll probably do them after 2am CST, etc.).

But twitter users are usually out in force on the weekends, and arguably around the clock worldwide.

YouTube is currently running what it describes as a "small experiment globally," warning users to toggle off their ad blockers and avoid being limited to only three video views.

As first spotted by a Reddit user on Wednesday, YouTube now displays a pop-up that notifies ad blocker users targeted by this test that "video player will be blocked after 3 videos."

Yeah, no kidding. I freely admit that I don't know shit about what it takes to put something like that together, but I am beginning to think that they're letting "perfect" be the enemy of "good" at this point. 

Just let people in, even if it's not fully baked yet. They'll be understanding, especially considering the disfunctional shithouse we're all emigrating from.

I have BlueSky but I don’t have any invites yet. I’ll post here when I do.

It’s going to suck rebuilding my follows - I’ve had Twitter since 2007.

You know those twitter engineers that stuck around? The ones putting up with all of elmo's bullshit doing their work, plus the work of everyone that got shitcanned. I hope they really get to enjoy their well earned July 4th holiday weekend, lulz. The morale at that place might be the only thing crashing harder than their servers.

I‘m sure their hard work and loyalty will be rewarded with huge bonuses and fancy titles.

Also the only people left are hanging on for the work visa, so maybe they won’t mind working straight through the holiday.

How do I even “earn” invites?

I think you get one every week

The terrifying working of the mind:  The only way this could get more weird is if a bunch of very wealthy assholes come together and buy the now-surely-less-valuable, aforementioned Twitter from Elmo with trump as "owner."  Then, you put it back the way it was, and the inevitable Trump Twitter shit show ensues. 

 

After typing that, I may have to lie down.

Now you're just showing off.

 

This feels like the moment when we had the Blacklab thread on Shaggy about the Daquiri-fucker, and I got the message on Shaggy that we were abandoning ship.  Twitter to become overrun with scat-porn in 3 - 2 -1 . . . .
