- X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
- The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

Oh no.
Anyway…
I wouldn’t notice
Wooooooo!!
And the owner wants to “automate” the US government with AI.
The idiots are in charge.
The US are truly turning into a real-life version of “Idiocracy”. I’m just waiting for Trump’s orders to start watering crops with Gatorade
The world had peace for 30 minutes.
No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.
Arkham Asylum grid failure
The bomb’s payload is exposed. I can use the power winch, to trigger a controlled explosion.
Now this is the kind of X news I’m okay with reading.
Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.
And nothing of value was lost.
And nothing was lost.
Good. Sadly it was fixed.
Just imagine what this saves in hosting bills
“Save 100% with this simple trick!”
Or saving on hosting is what caused the outage.
Oh no!
Anyway…
I still can’t believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.
Hopefully the next rebrand will be from
Xtorm -rf /.was that the command that deleted (almost permanently) Toystory 2?
Looking it up, pretty close.
The work done on the film to date was nearly lost in 1998 when one of the animators, while routinely clearing some files, accidentally entered the deletion command code
/bin/rm -r -f *on the root folder of the Toy Story 2 assets on Pixar’s internal servers.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_2#Troubled_production
I’m glad he did, now there is a clear line from when it was acceptable to when it wasn’t.
The USA probably won’t rebrand when its a fully fascist state.
It’s going to be so easy for him to turn that x into a swastika in a couple of years though. Its what’s known in tech circles as IED “iterative evil design”
Systemd now wants to do homedirs. Is that the same thing?
What do you mean “do” homedirs? Like be some kind of file system broker?
He is really really dumb person, so it is not surprising he does stupid stuff. Look at cybershit, tesla robot (driven by people remotely), anything he did last year… He is fucking dumb idiot.
Yeah, I really could not understand the motivation behind that. Why throw away such a valuable brand? I mean the name was even a clever play on words that also gave them a cute bird icon/mascot.
“Twitter”, with that bird logo is just a slam dunk, that’s solid gold branding… It’s insane to randomly “go a different direction” and then land at “X”. If I was their brand coordinator or director of marketing when they made that change, I’d resign then and there.
Changing their name to “X” was essentially lighting 20% of their assets on fire on day 1.
It just depends on which type of serifs he puts on the X.
I feel like most if not pretty much all of the value of Twitter was the name itself, and the recognition it had.
Well, now you can tweet wherever you like and don’t have to invent a silly new verb for every new platform.

I like referring to it as xitter, pronounced “shitter”. What were once tweets are now steaming piles of xit. Or someone taking/dropping a xit.
X-crements
You are really surprised by a guy who wanted to name his car series S-E-X-Y and had a temper tantrum when model E was taken and he could not “buy” it.
Interesting. Looking into this.
I’ll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.
I assume we’re in a similar boat so let me assure you: no, you won’t - because we wouldn’t even realize it happened.
Only after s few months one of us will recall this thread and be like “oh, yeah. Twitter. Seems really dead finally. Good.”
And to be clear I expect they person to be you because my memory is awful.
But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?
