I’m not tech expert in fact I’m quite dumb when it comes to tech.

BUT HOW DOES ONE MANAGE TO DDOS YOURSELF HOW CAN… I… WHAT

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 53 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When the cringy rich dingus tells you to code something that is impossible to do with the current infrastructure and the timeframe but instead of explaining because you know he'll have a temper tantrum, you just do the best you can knowing it won't work but are already looking for other jobs so you don't actually care that much.

as someone pointed out on the Mastodon thread, a large chunk of the employees still left are on visas and they can’t just quit

[–] disencentivized@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

its rather impressive and takes some serious lack of thinking

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 43 points 2 years ago

The comedy writes itself

Holy crap that's funny as hell

[–] Monologue@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

[–] RubberDucky@programming.dev 12 points 2 years ago

This is comedy gold

[–] AndyGHK@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 years ago

Is this real??

I can't imagine it's hard to scroll past 600 posts in a day if you use twitter a lot.

[–] olbaidiablo@lemmy.ca 40 points 2 years ago

So, once you're done your 600 posts, you'll go somewhere else where you can scroll endlessly, then slowly find yourself more and more going to that somewhere else instead of twitter. Elon twitler Musk is an idiot.

[–] Linuxduck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I never really used twitter, but if I used it like i use ANY other social media site, yeah. I would fill that up in like an hour..... and I use these sites all day long...

[–] chowder@lemmy.one 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I still have my Twitter, I'll go check.

This is some top notch investigative journalism right here.

[–] Linuxduck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 years ago

Soon you will only have access to the post button 24 times a day. Elon gotta watch his limit.

[–] AndyGHK@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 years ago

Oh, Elon won’t have a limit. Elon Mode is a standard feature in Elon’s products.

Imagine making it harder to engage with your platform that depends on engagement to exist.

[–] popemichael@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I wonder if Reddit is going to do this next...

I can see them making people log in to see the posts.

I can see Reddit limiting upvotes per day. Only 300 but "unlimited" with Reddit premium, etc

Reddit just loves going full Twitter

[–] ayyndrew@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Premium gets you a super upvote worth 10 regular votes

[–] datenyan@pawb.social 12 points 2 years ago

Please God don't give them ideas

[–] ugh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Even paying users have a rate limit. It's a ridiculous idea, especially financially.

[–] RubberDucky@programming.dev 30 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Also could be that they are scaling down systems

[–] chowder@lemmy.one 24 points 2 years ago

Im just saying, he hasn't been paying bills and it's the first of the month.

[–] Rakn@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 years ago

Yeah. That feels more likely. Twitter has been running for years and likely isn’t a stranger to something like this.

[–] Linuxduck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah something I thought since he was "forced" to buy twitter, was he would just burn it to the ground. What does he care?

This will just kill the big accounts that generate a majority of the engagement

[–] norgur@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Okay, I might not have gotten the lingo yet: I see so many posts about "Rule" and I don't get it. Can someone ELI5?

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 38 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

The old subreddit had one rule: you had to make a post before leaving. People started just saying "rule" in the title as a joke about begrudgingly complying with the rule.

Lol there's probably so many scrapers because he made the API so expensive

[–] bxyrk@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 years ago

Gah, all you people in here are gonna have me jumping into mastodon before long...

This federated thing is pretty dang cool.

[–] igetzerobread@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago (3 children)

does this guy even use his own apps

[–] doofer_name@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago

He doesn’t even use his own brain.

[–] girlfriend@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 years ago

He likes to watch the numbers go up but beyond that, I suppose less than we might think.

[–] throws_lemy@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 years ago

the rules don't apply to him

[–] zav@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Managed to use up my limit in about 1 hour

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He didn't actually say that, did he? That would be really stupid, even for him.

[–] festus@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

To Elon's credit (🤮) he did say temporary limits. Of course he lies constantly so who knows.

Then they’ll just do this sort of thing based on IP address and I’ll have to start yelling at my dad for looking at too many tweets

"see? Despite limiting access we actually gained users"

[–] huessy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

He's trying to squeeze Twitter addicts

[–] NPVT@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago

And why the hell would you subscribe to a stupid billionaires Twitter and pay him even More money?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Actually seems about right? Humans won't be doing more than that.

[–] Lojcs@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago

Aren't replies also considered tweets? Click on 1 popular tweet and it counts as 10+ tweets due to the replies automatically loading.

[–] fidodo@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago

Reading posts? 600 would go by very quickly and 6000 could be scrolled through by a power user pretty easily which sucks for a paid account.

Image Transcription: Twitter Post


Elon Musk, @elonmusk

To address extreme levels of data scrapting & system manipulation, we've applied the following temporary limits:

 

- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day

- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day

- New unverified accounts to 300/day


This is a transcription template from r/TranscribersOfReddit, which is currently making their templates accessible outside of Reddit. I will update this post with a link to our templates once we have it all sorted. For now, you can access them through Reddit here! https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/wiki/guidelines/
