@ner this is odd, works for me... you on a special client?
@ner nvm just saw your blind. Shoukda red your bio first.
@CrashandCern yup, twitter dies, fediverse thrives.
Damn it's really happening #riptwitter
@ner why cant you see the graphs?
It seems twitter outages are spiking the last hour or two. Musk had a neltdown and locked the doors to twitter and no one can keave or enter work.... the resukt is twitter is having outages and people are fleeing to here yet again.
Local news just called #Twitter a $44 billion dumpster fire - couldn’t agree more.
@stux lol kathy griffin boosted you. Cool.
One of my pals told me my Twitter comments were as viscous as AOC and Nancy Pelosi. I though everyone’s were like that! I just got used to it. As much as you can. It’s nothing short of astounding to me that I can just post and engage on here and people respond in a way that seems normal and real. The Twitter comments world is distorted and dangerous. I don’t see how twitter can be fixed. We’re better off here. ❤️
Today's good news was a software engineer in my lab found an accidental memory allocation in our real-time video analysis code, and now 99.99% (up from 98%) of the time it runs as fast as we thought it should when we did a back-of-the-envelope calculation way back when. I like when computers behave as I expected them to.
@Mythlodite i can tell already im really going to love having you here. You will be a valuable member of the QOTO family
I’m going to miss Twitter. But. It couldn’t have happened to a better company (before Musk). It did not allow speech - it required groupthink. Both on the Left and Right. We have a better environment here to talk freely where you can be in a safe environment based on the community you join. My point is to just be fair. And let us hear both sides and to decide for ourselves. I’m of the lib side on most things, but sometimes we went too far in excoriating the other side.
@bit0fun looking forward to it!
@bit0fun thanks, glad you enjoy it here and its wonderful to have you.
@freemo Only been here a short while so far, but it feels nice to see the interesting STEM related stuff here and inclusion. Honestly haven’t come across anyone bigoted on this server either. I understand the desire to not platform bigoted people, though blanket bans don’t seem to solve anything either
Agreed well said @gooseus @digital_carver
@mrk3nz only the ways i mentioned
@trancekr Nothing much, just the cool kids hanging around being cool like we do :)
