For what it's worth, I don't think there will be a big, apocalyptic Day After Tomorrow-style moment where Twitter ends.

The glitches have already piled up. People who left are predicting outages. But most importantly, it's unclear how the company is going to make money now.

If Twitter crashes and you need to find me, the hell you will. I've got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need. I speak a dozen languages, know every local custom, I'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see me again.

@Foone One of the biggest loses of modern technology is how difficult it is for an enterprising curious child to break it in a way that forces them to try to fix it before anyone finds out. Be it the hardware itself or the software running on it.

@Foone I was surprised how many people in the replies cited anti-tampering as a reason for going Torx since my extremely trans reasoning was screws that don’t strip easily. I want to be able to dis and reassemble everything repeatedly without issues.

@Campster I mean, he decided to "disrupt" the car industry by treating it as a software engineering problem as well. And sure his cars catch on fire, kill people, and get confused by the moon, but to be fair most of those issues wouldn't exist if wouldn't treat cars as a software platform.

@LunarJade You extended the greatest kindness to @JacobBurgessVO, giving him the space not to waste energy failing to fight you and instead focus on everyone else. A truly dastardly move and a winning play.

@AnarkYouTube I really appreciated the series. Having not just the reading recommendations themselves but also the reasoning for them is very valuable.

@Foone @DesertBus I didn't realise until earlier today how much I want a crossover between @ihorner 's RDP button and a @Foone keyboard

@Campster I use T-Clock to force the clock into a format that I actually find useful (unlike what Windows offers by default).

Well this is an uncomfortably accurate analogy

Big day! PMG just released part 1 of a series on gaming giant Valve.

Today, we want to tell you about the casino industry that plugs into Steam's API and preys on Valve's customers. Why won't Valve shut it down?

For one thing, they're profiting from it.

There are 2 types of single player video game: AAA story-driven games about a heterosexual dad learning not to hate a child while committing 30+ hours of unrelenting violence, and indie card-based dating sim visual novels about being gay and depressed under capitalism.

A man goes to the doctor. “Doctor! How can I make Twitter profitable?”
The doctor says, “Oh, that’s easy. Just find some desperate loser who thinks controlling Twitter will make people like him and get him to buy it for much more than it’s worth!”
“But doctor!” said Elon Musk,

It’s Halloween weekend and that means it’s time for everyone’s favorite Japanese festival Jimi Halloween, where people dress up in costumes so mundane they have to be explained. Let’s dive in 🧵
