@RantingRami to confusion, exasperation, and frustration.

@RantingRami I think, with the loss of the joint family, as well as reduced interaction within the extended family (especially in urban areas), people, at least those online, no longer have any experience living with people of all different ages. They only know their own age cohort, leading

@Mini163 @rvcjmovies @nurainfarizan @AishaR_78 Remember what @Green_Bear12 did for God Tussi Great Ho?

@Mini163 @rvcjmovies @nurainfarizan @AishaR_78 Ha ha, yes!

[Moimeme @mmrksk]

Happy New Year to everyone!

Reading about the Salaar vs. Dunki box office collections feels like reading about the Ukraine vs. Russia war. Lots of tall claims, few verifiable facts, most people with agendas to push. :) Hopefully, we won't have to wait two years for the "fog of war" to clear.

@Mini163 Thank you, Mini, for compiling all the birthday wishes for Salman. It was a treat to come here and read them, because elsewhere on the net where I've been, there's a very different vibe. But I won't dwell on that.

@Green_Bear12 What about Archie's? :)

[Moimeme @mmrksk]

@Green_Bear12 Nah, T3's timings didn't work for me, and now it is out of theatres. I knew Animal wasn't for me from the trailer itself. Thought about going to Sam Bahadur (times were convenient), but reviews gave me pause. I will catch both T3 and SM on streaming.

@JeremyDBoreing @dailywireplus Enjoyed LB, but one aspect was highly objectionable -- showing violence against a man by a woman as not only acceptable, but even playing it for laughs. Intimate partner violence cannot be condoned, whether it's a man or woman who is the victim of it. Can you redo those scenes?

[Moimeme @mmrksk]

@RantingRami @Mini163 @nurainfarizan I'm glad you enjoyed it. You almost tempted me to go. But I checked the times and they don't work for me. I'm sure it'll show up on Prime pretty quickly (as Pathan and Jawaan did - not that I've seen them). ETT and TZH are already there.

[Moimeme @mmrksk]

@Mini163 @nurainfarizan I was thinking the same thing about you, Mini! So good to see you active here again! I'm glad you think it's a quality movie. I may wait to see it on OTT. With the current news situation, I'm not really in the mood for an action movie, I find.

#Tiger3 Does anyone know what happened to the Turkish actor who played the villain in Tiger Zinda Hai? He got a very positive response for his acting from everyone, audience and industry alike, but it seems not to have translated into further opportunities in Hindi films. Why

@JackPosobiec When a non-US citizen, whether legally or illegally in the US, is convicted of a crime, that person must first serve the sentenced time in the U.S., and is deported after the sentence is completed. I'm surprised you don't know this.

Some people asked me to share what I just shared in a space about the rate limits. I don't work for Twitter but, I do architect IT cloud solutions as my day job.

It is temporary. Twitter's rate limiting is not what everyone is thinking it is. It is not to punish non-paying users.

"Data scraping" is a big deal. This is where automated systems load the website or app and pull your tweets/data. It's a huge security issue. Automated systems are pulling every tweet/word/user account information to store in an unknown database somewhere else.

This could be state actors like China, the US Government, Australia, or other bad political actors like PAC's that are trying to gain access to everyone's information to analyze and use for nefarious things. Manipulating what is said on the site can be done at scale with data scrapping.

It could also be used to figure out the identity of Anons or to punish people in their country for what they tweet. Looking at you #Australia and #Canada and #UnitedKingdom

The temporary measures of limiting tweets is to protect users just as much as it is to protect the entire Twitter network from going down. They are currently scrambling to get ahead of this and tune their network security to block it from happening again.

It's also important to note that twitter has 500,000+ servers. That's not free. In cloud data centers, the companies that use them have to pay for what is called "ingress and egress" of data going "in and out" of the servers. A data scrapping event that is large enough for them to start limiting means that it was a MASSIVE event that could be considered an attack on the site. It would also put massive load on their servers and cost them so much money it could threaten the site's financial ability to keep running. It could be on purpose to put twitter out of business from cost alone.

Many people are misunderstanding why @elonmusk wants people to pay for twitter or for the twitter API (a programming interface that can pull data for other sites and apps).

The reason he wants people to pay is because if China or porn companies want to create massive bot farms of fake accounts, it is currently free. These bad actors are highly skilled and operate like a business. They have professional staff that continuously change their tactics and Twitter engineers have to fight 24/7 to stay ahead of them. If they have to pay for every account or pay to use the API, it would cost them A LOT of money. This limits the amount of people who could create bots, put automated porn on here, and the hacking/scrapping/DDOS attacks on the site. It protects you.

It also guarantees twitter will continue to exist without bloating it with tons of ads. This is all a part of the plan to create a free-speech place we can enjoy without being controlled by outside actors or advertising companies. I know $8 is a lot to some people but, it is for many reasons. None of the reasons are to hurt or punish people.

@Green_Bear12 Why? I'm not looking for anyone. :)
