@GossiTheDog Haha yup..

@GossiTheDog I can't see anything fixed, still 'try again' stuff, and besides that a bunch of Blue got flagged as bots by a bot, and they can't contact support and they whine in API development forum

@GossiTheDog "it's the engineer making $250k, that's where all our money's going" -a guy who's making $55m

@GossiTheDog Just like in every other company including the German publich railway!

@GossiTheDog YEAH!! I know some want Twitter to stay, but I hope it's next.

@GossiTheDog it sounds like...they were better at selling time on their cloud resources to other people instead of running their own product on it?

@GossiTheDog Is it just me or can I not find ANYTHING about starboard.co formerly olympicmedia.com or their respective business entities?

Like they have a few business index entries (Olympic does) but they're listed as a few dozen employees, a few hundred $k to a few million in revenue.

Doesn't seem like a "huge conglomerate" to me. Seems more like someone bought a legit but unknown, lowkey existing corporation to fold a social media company *into*.

@GossiTheDog have you seen this @Tupp_ed ? Surely it's a GDPR breach if they're doing it within the EU?

@GossiTheDog Wow! Sounds like Tesla is about as secure as the trashy bird site.

@GossiTheDog Check this out !

@GossiTheDog How is that guy still CEO, I've been asking myself for the last 5 years

@GossiTheDog Zuck is just doing his best at emulating his business mentor, Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg

@GossiTheDog LEGS ARE COMING!

@GossiTheDog OMG

@GossiTheDog I click “sign-in options”, then connect to a local Active Directory.
It never ask me to actually connect, so I’m right at the next window, and can continue to install.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social Good! Now I can finally install Linux without a..... Waaaaaait.... You tricked me!

@GossiTheDog Excellent analogy. Perhaps we should start replacing "capitalism" in our vocabulary with "cancerism".

@GossiTheDog Do you remember Agent Smith's monologue in the firist Matrix about humans being a virus? He said we just consume and then move on to consume again. I remember seeing that for the first time and being like...MINDBLOWN.

@GossiTheDog Attitudes, theories and know-how leading to faster growth become dominant in the course of history. Groups growing fastest will destroy or assimilate others. Their attitudes then become the basis for the next round. The growth ideology is part of this. It is a self-amplifying process. When this ideology started, world economy was smaller by about factor 600. Initially, the limits of resources could be ignored. It seemed to work. Now, we are hitting the limits.

There's definitely some fun Mastodon security issues which will appear at some point, e.g. if anybody gets admin at an instance you can bulk select every user and delete them - even if you restore the instance from backup, every other instance has wiped them = no followers etc.

The first admin account on every instance has no MFA by default.

@GossiTheDog give him time

@GossiTheDog Twitter was a flaming shit fight long before Musk bought it.

@GossiTheDog

1) is a valuable skill, tho.
