This is a very succinct example of what I've been building. Developing, and then getting all the moving parts working in tandem has been a lot of fun.

In the world of infosec and IT there are a class of problems that must be ignored despite their severity because there isn't any good way to fix them. In fact, you learn to ignore them for so long you forget they even exist. Let's talk about one of them. The "Downloads" folder

@kevinriggle Military has a much higher degree of training. And, critically, rules of engagement.

@adamhjk I think he's a bit wrong. Or, at least, his view of complexity is not the same as mine. I tend to prefer microservices to rails monoliths. I get that the former are sprawling, but they have pretty clear boundaries. I find often rails code sprawling very hard to follow.

So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you. I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.

Breaking news: scientists are reporting a recent discovery that exposure to Starlink satellite transmissions is now the leading cause of COVID-19 infections worldwide.

Twitter will no longer enforce its COVID-19 misinformation policy, according to a note posted to its website. trib.al/9cULeek

@robtow @kevinriggle Yet.

robtow is @robtow.bsky.soc@robtow·29 Kas

@kevinriggle Technically, these are not "robots" (which have *autonomous* decision making capability), but rather "teleoperatored platforms". Which means person in the loop. Like a predator drone. just so we are clear on the... ethics.

@jeredfloyd @obra Won’t happen at twitter. No women left.

I feel like we’re going to spend years rehabilitating the phrase “code review”

🧵Hi. Free-speech maximalist here. No, this issue has nothing to do with free-speech -- as such. Trump wasn't suspended because he's bad for society (though he is), but because he was bad for Twitter's brand.

Each of these causes real human death. Often horrifically so, and on a scale far higher than a couple of cars. Running social networks connects humans. And I’m a global world, that is surprisingly fraught.

What happens when a religious state asks for the users active near a minority religious site? Or tracking data for users within contested territory?

English

seph (Also @[email protected])@twseph·19 Kas

There’s been a lot of dunking on idiot tech bros for misunderstanding what’s hard about social media. But one thing I’ve seen missing, is that it absolutely can cause deaths. Failing to understand that, is failing to understand people.

While everything is fresh, some ex-Twitter should open a text editor and start writing all the things she/he remembers. Don't care to organize the ideas right now, start with the latest crazy days, both the big picture and single small facts. Then go backward with memory.

Fairly solid thread of system threats to large systems. I don't know the poster, but I have seen many of these over my professional career. #SRE

Mosquito Capital@MosquitoCapital

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

A short thread on why scale is hard. (@Ramin_DK is awesome, BTW)

Ramin Khatibi@Ramin_DK

It's time for a thread on why Twitter hasn't gone down yet 🧵

Interesting thread in corporate takeovers.

Yishan@yishan

If I had to bet on whether Elon will pull through and Twitter ultimately succeeds, I’d probably still bet on the success case. Social networks are surprisingly durable. Still, there is a KNOWN playbook for how to take over a dysfunctional company and quickly turn it around. 🧵
