not with that attitude

(we commit a little tomfoolery 😉)

plenty of places w/ no extradition 🤷‍♀️

mfs doing stuff like this really need to stop living in america bruh 💀

it allows you to write graphics code in a backend-independent manner (supporting vulkan and metal for example), looking a little closer, it looks like a nice level of abstraction over various rendering backends 👀

ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?

while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated

i don’t really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter

i’m assuming that cessation of twitter’s existence (due to lack of funds taken up by skyrocketing hosting bills) would be an even worse strategy for retaining users and maintaining desirable stock value

do you have access to their financial reports? otherwise how can one make such claims wrt to profitability (which is the issue at hand)

like, i kinda see it wrt to the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how much is it embedded into twitter as an application)

real shit

ppl like to shit on twitter and the link (reasonably so), but it’s a legitimate challenge to run it and do so profitably, if they’re having troubles with their server costs, only thing i could actually fault them with is making a platform that takes like 1mb of bandwidth to serve like 1/3 kb worth of text (also allowing pictures and videos)

if your current rent suddenly because very expensive, or you can’t afford the current rent bc you lost your job, then ye, it’s not a reasonable option, but the only option 🤷‍♀️

idk about you but i’ve no idea about how twitter is run, there’s plenty of reasons they would be unable or prefer not to do that 🤷‍♀️

💀💀

as much as i hate elon musk tho, it is a sort of reasonable strategy in case you’re trying to prevent incurring further hosting charges while you’re migrating 🤷‍♀️

not sure why he can’t just pay the hosting bill but whatever, that’s secondary i guess

me 😊

it’s a joke 😉

comrade linus 🫡🫡

but also he’s finnish, which is communist, so he’s obviously a communist smh 🤷‍♀️

my brother in christ, just use whatever you want, get a life 😭

russia is a country with the most number of nuclear weapons in the world, being extremely sensitive about any border disputes, fueled by an unfortunate self-perpetuating symbiosis of a large portion of the population being nationalistic being catered to by an equally nationalistic autocrat…

no sensible country would touch such an explosive combination country with a long pole, let alone try to invade, which would virtually guarantee mutual destruction with nuclear weapons…
