- X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
- The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.
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.
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.
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.
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”
Systemd now wants to do homedirs. Is that the same thing?
It just depends on which type of serifs he puts on the X.
And nothing of value 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.
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.
Interesting. Looking into this.
I wouldn’t notice
And nothing was lost.
Good. Sadly it was fixed.
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.
Just imagine what this saves in server bills
“Save 100% with this simple trick!”
Or saving on hosting is what caused the outage.
Wooooooo!!
Oh no!
Anyway…

But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?
