It would be poetic if the cyber attacks would be coming from Ukrainian hackers.

If we’re lucky it’s forever.
They're busy, collapse the data center support columns.
Says it was only 30 minutes in the description. Kinds weird they're telling us about it and not including thst bit in the title.
Funny enough, Anonymous is claiming it was them.
Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole
Nazis, I imagine.
Remember kids, only nazis support nazis.
I was just talking to a friend who's very anti-nazi (at least, that's what he says), told him that by staying there, he's feeding the nazis. He says that he's the resistance working from within lol. People would tell themselves all kinds of stories for convenience.
And bots
My government emergency alerts :(
I actually emailed my local National Weather Service station awhile back asking if they’d post on Mastodon and even offered them a BlueSky invite and they wrote back saying only Twitter and Facebook were allowed and they’d be everywhere if it was approved by higher ups.
Someone made a BlueSky bot a few months ago for NWS notices and I’m pretty sure they covered every local one. I remember the person who made it asking people to request any missing stations. Not sure if there’s a Mastodon equivalent but you could use a bridge. It won’t help with transit delays or other local government announcements but the weather service stuff is available (via an AtProto <-> ActivityPub bridge if nothing else; it’s not like you interact with the posts so it’d be ideal for a bridge).
Make a bot that listens to those and posts them here.
It’s behind a paywall and I’m not paying that Nazi.

Everyone strives for 5 9s, but musk aims for two 8s.
I don't get it
I don't know the 5 9s reference, but the two 8s is 88, a Nazi dog whistle for Heil Hitler, as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
Oh okay, thank you ☺️

I see what you did there....
We don't have 5 9s, but we do have 9 5s.

"Something went wrong. Try Mastodon."
God I hope there's some engineer somewhere at X quietly sabotaging all of their services.
Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot

The world had peace for 30 minutes.
No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.
I'll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.
I assume we're in a similar boat so let me assure you: no, you won't - because we wouldn't even realize it happened.
Only after s few months one of us will recall this thread and be like "oh, yeah. Twitter. Seems really dead finally. Good."
And to be clear I expect they person to be you because my memory is awful.
I still can't believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.
He is really really dumb person, so it is not surprising he does stupid stuff. Look at cybershit, tesla robot (driven by people remotely), anything he did last year... He is fucking dumb idiot.
It's going to be so easy for him to turn that x into a swastika in a couple of years though. Its what's known in tech circles as IED "iterative evil design"

You are really surprised by a guy who wanted to name his car series S-E-X-Y and had a temper tantrum when model E was taken and he could not "buy" it.
Well, now you can tweet wherever you like and don't have to invent a silly new verb for every new platform.
I like referring to it as xitter, pronounced "shitter". What were once tweets are now steaming piles of xit. Or someone taking/dropping a xit.
X-crements
Hopefully the next rebrand will be from X to rm -rf /.
Or Bobby Droptables
I'm glad he did, now there is a clear line from when it was acceptable to when it wasn't.
The USA probably won't rebrand when its a fully fascist state.

What can we do to keep it like this forever?
I love that for them
And nothing was lost.
Now this is the kind of X news I'm okay with reading.
Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.
Make it permanent next time.
And nothing of value was lost.
