Looks like Elon was chewing on the wires again

The data at downforeveryoneorjustme make it appear that "only lasted for about half an hour" is BS. In fact, they appear to be having problems again this morning.

Someone did the world a favor.

Fascists value compliance and ideological fervor over competency, so naturally all fascist led faction experience a competency crisis sooner or later.May this happen more often.

Couldn't happen to Mastodon.

I though nitter finally broke.

As you wish.

I came here looking for it, so I may as well follow through on the prompt.

[–] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I couldn’t figure out how to post a gif so I appreciate it!

Lemmy uses pretty standard markdown, so this works in lots of forums besides lemmy.

[–] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I see. I also just discovered in Mlem that the little toolbar when composing a post can be scrolled left to right. Thanks for the info!

[–] thickertoofan@lemm.ee 10 points 12 hours ago

Good riddance

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 26 points 15 hours ago

Nothing of value was lost.

Let it burn! It's not our problem.

Elon's blaming DDOS. You know I heard that the people who bulit Twitter did a great job figuring out how to handle those. Gosh, I wonder what ever happened them?

Half an hour is still pretty huge for a site like Xitter.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Half an hour is “we just broke our SLA” level bad. I guess if your org has been stripped of all its talent that’s the new standard.

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm quite surprised it took this long for the outage to appear after all those cuts by the fucker.

[–] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 9 points 13 hours ago

Weird that they said "only" half an hour. Thats a really long time

[–] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 21 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This was bound to happen, someone was going to attack the Nazi propaganda platform formerly known as Twitter at some point.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be too quick to rule out mismanagement from an incompetent owner.

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Remember that america is now run by said incompetence with illegal firings and mass slash and burn tactics to raze the entire establishment

I had a cheeseburger for dinner. It was….. okay.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Disappointing cheeseburgers are the worst

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think it comes down to the patty at the end. If it’s a frozen patty, like a bubba burger, it can be cooked to perfection, but it requires constant attention to detail otherwise it’s either undercooked mush, or an overcooked grey thing. Generally patties that are hand made are more forgiving. But even then, I guess the cheese and bread involved are possible phases to one up or really detract from a burger. I think I’m just really hungry for a good burger and it’s late

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 points 8 hours ago

I totally agree with you. Frozen isn't worth it IMO having less higher quality is the way. Excellent cheese and bread can improve things, however the burger should be the main event and other things a mere accessory

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 35 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (17 children)

Oh no. So anyway, tonight we're having a stereotypical American meal that takes 25 minutes off your life; Sloppy joes, macaroni and cheese, and potato salad. It's quite good, everything made from scratch since I don't have a job anymore. How about you?
