Yep. Shame on any company or individual that’s still active on Twitter. It’s a nazi platform now and there’s no excuse to still be there. Mastodon exists, so if you’re still on Twitter you are part of the problem.

Hey all!

It looks like most of you had difficulty reaching the site for about 5 minutes, but those issues should have subsided.

During that time, you may have been shown an incorrect error message that read:

Whoa there, pardner! reddit's awesome and all, but you may have a bit of a problem.

Make sure your User-Agent is not empty, is something unique and descriptive and try again. if you're supplying an alternate User-Agent string, try changing back to default as that can sometimes result in a block.

To share some additional context on what happened - we pushed a bad code change in our tooling that resulted in a significant amount of users getting blocked without doing anything wrong. So if you happened to see that error message within the last hour, don’t fret! We’ve reverted the code change that caused this error and things should be back to normal very soon if they aren’t already.

Yeah, Mastodon is much larger than Lemmy yet it feels like shouting into the void. I like it as a means to keep up on news by following journalists who’ve fled twitter but I’ve yet to get any real interaction on my posts. Meanwhile on Lemmy I’m never running out of things to read and people to discuss posts with.

Not sharing my code because:

“If you’re not first, you’re last.” - Ricky Bobby

I’d say, ‘your employees have options. They’re not resources to control,’" Houston told Fortune when asked about what message he had for CEOs who believed in return-to-office mandates.

“You need a different social contract and to let go of control. But if you trust people and treat them like adults, they’ll behave like adults. Trust over surveillance,” he added.

“But but but you can’t just treat the servants like people who are capable of completing their responsibilities while managing their own time! What if they finish their work early or take an extra ten minutes at lunch?! Sweet lord, what if they aren’t jiggling their mouse enough??!! Time theft is the most heinous crime in human history!!!1!”

Jokes on you, I don’t even know how to read.

Yep, we’re about six months away from Elon Musk personally hawking snake-oil diet supplements and survivalist gear to doomsday preppers a lá Alex Jones. Heck, once Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings are finished, Elon can just buy out his stock, cross out Info and sell them as “ElonWars Supplements.”

a phone that’s 3 years old

Correct. This article pertains to the three year old iPhone that was discontinued two days ago. You understand that Apple doesn’t just sell base model iPhones for one year, right? They are sold for two additional refresh cycles. So the iPhone 12 was still being officially sold by Apple until two days ago. Just like how the iPhone 13 will continue being sold until next year when the iPhone 16 comes out.

It’s a vulnerability that’s discovered and exploited before it’s known to or addressed by the maker/vendor. So in this case, the North Korean hackers were exploiting an unknown vulnerability in a software package commonly used by security researchers.
