- 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.

As you wish.
I came here looking for it, so I may as well follow through on the prompt.
I couldn’t figure out how to post a gif so I appreciate it!

Lemmy uses pretty standard markdown, so this works in lots of forums besides lemmy.
I see. I also just discovered in Mlem that the little toolbar when composing a post can be scrolled left to right. Thanks for the info!
I had a cheeseburger for dinner. It was…… okay.
Disappointing cheeseburgers are the worst
I think it comes down to the patty at the end. If it’s a frozen patty, like a bubba burger, it can be cooked to perfection, but it requires constant attention to detail otherwise it’s either undercooked mush, or an overcooked grey thing. Generally patties that are hand made are more forgiving. But even then, I guess the cheese and bread involved are possible phases to one up or really detract from a burger. I think I’m just really hungry for a good burger and it’s late
Its been down at my house for a while now.
It was never up in this house.
I don’t have an account. Never did. But I have a custom blocklist running on my router and elons crap is there. Along with a lot of trash sites like facebook.
Do it again!
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.
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.
I feel like most if not pretty much all of the value of Twitter was the name itself, and the recognition it had.
Yeah, I really could not understand the motivation behind that. Why throw away such a valuable brand? I mean the name was even a clever play on words that also gave them a cute bird icon/mascot.
“Twitter”, with that bird logo is just a slam dunk, that’s solid gold branding… It’s insane to randomly “go a different direction” and then land at “X”. If I was their brand coordinator or director of marketing when they made that change, I’d resign then and there.
Changing their name to “X” was essentially lighting 20% of their assets on fire on day 1.
Hopefully the next rebrand will be from
Xtorm -rf /.was that the command that deleted (almost permanently) Toystory 2?
Looking it up, pretty close.
The work done on the film to date was nearly lost in 1998 when one of the animators, while routinely clearing some files, accidentally entered the deletion command code
/bin/rm -r -f *on the root folder of the Toy Story 2 assets on Pixar’s internal servers.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_2#Troubled_production
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.
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?
What do you mean “do” homedirs? Like be some kind of file system broker?
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.
Well, now you can tweet wherever you like and don’t have to invent a silly new verb for every new platform.
The toot for mastodon will always just make me roll my eyes.
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
It just depends on which type of serifs he puts on the X.
Feature, not a bug
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.
Looks like annonomus is saying they took it down.
Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole
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.
Or on Blue Sky or Mastadon
Hell reach put to your reps and tell them that they should have a Blue Sky and Mastodon for if something like this happens in the future.
Ain’t no better time than now due to the Twitter outage.
Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.
When you’ve lost the porn it’s game over man.
The Tumblr Effect
HEY! tumblr is still fun to use.
Since you seem to know what platform have they moved to generally?
Most of them have gone to BlueSky. A few are on Mastodon but rarely as their primary (sadly). A lot of artists have gone to places like FurAffinity, Pixiv, and to a lesser extent DeviantArt.
Unfortunately a lot of them have just resorted to being on Patreon, which is unfortunate.
Asking for a friend…
bluesky. Its all on bluesky.
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.
Ask him if he’d go to a nazi bar, and start a fist fight.
I mean, there’s no comparison. Punching Nazis is always cool, Twitter is just talking to them, which never is. You and fifty friends go on Twitter and dunk on Nazis all day and you’re still just at a table talking with the enemy. Take fifty friends to a Nazi bar and throw punches, you’ve just improved the neighbourhood.
And bots
Nazis, people who aren’t bothered enough that a Nazi owns it to leave it for Bluesky, and bots, lots of bots.
I hadn’t noticed.
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
Plug that random USB stick you found on the sidewalk directly into the server and open up Link_ParkFullAlbum-LimeWire.exe
Everyone strives for 5 9s, but musk aims for two 8s.
Don’t forget the 14 words! Someone screenshotted this at just the right time:
We don’t have 5 9s, but we do have 9 5s.
I see what you did there…
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.
5 9s means 99.999% uptime, which translates to a site will only be down for ~6 seconds per week. This is the golden standard for online services
I love that for them
Elon fired the maintenance guys yet again?
Them people are just paid to sit around. Why would you bother?
Source; work in maintenance.
Oh no.
Anyway…
