plenty of places w/ no extradition 🤷‍♀️

mfs doing stuff like this really need to stop living in america bruh 💀

it allows you to write graphics code in a backend-independent manner (supporting vulkan and metal for example), looking a little closer, it looks like a nice level of abstraction over various rendering backends 👀

ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?

i’m not even sure what we’re debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they’re trying to mitigate that…

while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated

i don’t really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter

do you have access to their financial reports? otherwise how can one make such claims wrt to profitability (which is the issue at hand)

like, i kinda see it wrt the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how much is it embedded into twitter as an application)

real shit

ppl like to shit on twitter and the link (reasonably so), but it’s a legitimate challenge to run it and do so profitably, if they’re having troubles with their server costs, only thing i could actually fault them with is making a platform that takes like 1mb of bandwidth to serve like 1/3 kb worth of text (also allowing pictures and videos)

if your current rent suddenly because very expensive, or you can’t afford the current rent bc you lost your job, then ye, it’s not a reasonable option, but the only option 🤷‍♀️

idk about you but i’ve no idea about how twitter is run, there’s plenty of reasons they would be unable or prefer not to do that 🤷‍♀️

💀💀

as much as i hate elon musk tho, it is a sort of reasonable strategy in case you’re trying to prevent incurring further hosting charges while you’re migrating 🤷‍♀️

not sure why he can’t just pay the hosting bill but whatever, that’s secondary i guess

in an all-cash transaction valued at $19.7 billion

for anyone wondering, that’s almost 200 tons of $100 bills 😳
