X outage breaks all outgoing links, again::An outage on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, caused the site to display an error message when users tried to click outgoing links.
Why is this “news”?
Just don’t go on Xitter and you won’t have these “problems”…
Why is this “news”?
In a word: Schadenfreude. In two words: delicious Schadenfreude.
This isn’t being reported for the benefit of Twitter users. They already knew.
Elon is either severely mentally handicapped or killing Twitter has been the objective.
He’s an incredibly impulsive malignant narcissist demanding sweeping changes without considering whether they’re feasible, amongst other ways by reacting to criticism in real time and often in the stupidest ways possible.
He’s not technically handicapped, but he has the emotional maturity and judgement of a toddler who’s overdue for a nap.
I think its adderall addiction.
Hey! No bully! His mom has been very clear that bullying her son is not nice because he is saving the world! 😠 /s
Eternity bug is funny hehe buf1000000940
“Verge” means penis in french
One friggin hour and it’s news 🙄
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As if publishers and users didn’t have enough reasons to reconsider their connections to the platform formerly known as Twitter, all outgoing links from X stopped working Wednesday afternoon.
We’ll stop making jokes and get things up and running soon.”
After about an hour or so of that happening, the problem was fixed, although we haven’t seen any public acknowledgment of the issue from the @Support account, CEO Linda Yaccarino, or X owner / CTO Elon Musk.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because something similar happened in March, taking down links and images across timelines for around an hour.
Twitter blamed that on an “internal change that had some unintended consequences” before Platformer reported the bug occurred because of a mistake by the site’s single remaining site reliability engineer, who was operating solo after Musk instituted massive layoffs.
Update December 13th, 2:31PM ET: Noted links are working again.
The original article contains 188 words, the summary contains 148 words. Saved 21%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
They only have one site reliability engineer?
That’s very shocking. All of Elon’s other companies have such a strong reputation for reliable engineering. /s
Elon Logic: One site, one SRE. Genius.
Apparently he didn’t do his job, so I guess they’ll be firing him now.
