I believed this! The fact that I could believe this tells you something about the current state of affairs.
When search for this comic, it is spelled "aaaah"

I'm trying to find the SMBC comic where the punch line is "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The "fired the badge guy" story was a hoax ... fortunately twitter has a coms department to clear that up... ha! nope.

conservative partisans are predicting twitter will stay up indefinitely, staff or no staff.
techies are predicting twitter will go on for a bit, fail slowly, then fast.

Firing everyone except:
- those that legally can't be fired
- those that legally can't quit

it goes slow then fast. That was 1000 carefully chosen employees, not 450 people who are legally prohibited from quitting. https://x.com/bgurley/status/1593448516394881024

Slow? this is nothing. I lived through 300 baud, 1200 baud, 56k modem... This site is loading so fast I can't even read everything as it scrolls by.
tweet everything! like everything! follow everyone! it might not matter in the morning! just tweet it out like an adult t*p kid tweeting about their meetings with foreign agents! There's no consequences!
This is going to happen every 3 weeks until it really goes down, eh?

No, first you cut it in half right along the diameter. Then you cut the last half into 1/4 and 3/4th.

These links to tweets turn into quote tweets, but only on, like the 3rd time I view them. I think there is an async task that fetches the twitter card/preview.

So I got 3 accounts
@mistersql for all my "interaction" accounts, where I follow people because I might chat with them
My Scifi account - for reading, not for interaction @flyscifiguy@mstdn.social
My Buddhism account -@everybodhi

Time to create my sci-fi account. If I follow a bunch of sci-fi accounts, they're going to get overwelmed by the techie accounts I follow.
If there was a 90% RIF at any place I've ever worked, everything would stop working, not just the IT stuff, but everything.
Reminds me of the company in the World Trade Center that lost off its staff except the few people that were home that day.
Cantor Fitzgerald survived, but it only lost 100% of people in one location, not 95% across all locations.
Is there "debirdify" but for instagram? A minority of people are choosing Instagram as their primary backup "twitter"
There is a Loki variant hanging out here somewhere. You can do anything you want and it won't create a branch in the timeline. For a moment, we're safe from the TVA.

General population marathon runners have worse heart status (plaques, CAD)... why?!
1 theory - they eat up to 7000 calories a day, so that is 3.5x more meat. Triple the sat fat, triple your heart problems.

if the "buy tech company, fire 95% of everyone" works, we'll see more of it. I don't think it will work. These feels like buying a law firm for 44 billion & then firing everyone and trying to use the office furniture for a business.
@ebooksyearn @krusynth@mastodon.cloud I wish I could say "surely you're joking", but I've seen security types w/o any obvious background in app dev.
@krusynth@mastodon.cloud this was a choice made by another team. There do seem to be *a lot* of good layout frameworks/vanilla css options now with modern browsers.
Who runs "Twitter #Bootstrap" now? Yeah, it opensource, so everyone, but...
If the maintainer who controls the npm account doesn't have time to run it as a hobby, there probably isn't anyone on payroll at twitter maintaining it.
<worriedly looks at current dependency on bootstrap>

Twitter is going to be staffed entirely by 450 Indians on visas. On one hand, this is nuts to fire 95% of everyone, on the other hand, I glad to see he puts so much confidence in Indian tech workers, they have a fantastic tech uni system in India.
so 80% of the remaining 50% are gone. That leaves...firing 95% of the company altogether. Get your twitter archive while you can. https://x.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1593336525898530821
Scale this up and move suburbs back and forth to the city center. Get rid of the rails and roads.

Reasons to use CW
1st - this is fuzzy, don't expect tidy rules.
- upsetting material (unless being incendiary is your thing)
- off topic material if you think your audience is mostly single topic readers (if you are multi topic all the time, why bother)
- Looooong posts
- clickbait - Guess what just happened?!?!?!
- a halfway point between self censoring to avoid fighters and looking like you're picking a fight
If you are a stuffy account with 100,000 followers, you probably are already self censoring so hard you don't need a CW for anything.
CW is all about the grey area of content that maybe is oversharing, maybe is too incendiary, maybe...

Will it show a twitter card? Who knows?
Takes awhile, but eventually shows same twitter card that twitter does.

Blue checks for $8
No not like that!
@acdha there are price points from $80 to $1000s and models at each. My wife & researched it thoroughly & we decided we're at heart cheap. We gave a $80 chair a try, so far so good. (can replace an $80 chair a lot of times for the price of a Herman Miller Aeron)
