  • The Day WhatsApp Goes Dark

    Jump

  • Sometimes I wonder what something like war or messing up a couple of servers could do to the globe.

    What happens when services that are not deemed "essential" go down but everyone relies on them anyways? Im reminded of the cloudstrike/windows event.

  • Can you still see twitter posts without logging in? That was one of the biggest changes that sucked a number of years ago. I remember starting to see Nitter or something back then.

    I hate how posts on the internet are literally just screenshots of peoples hot takes...without any context and you have to guess where it came from. I feel like its related somehow.

  • I thought it was interesting too. The specific examples he gives (twitter/wordpress/etc..) are what ive been feeling lately too.

    Many BIG platforms are starting to not work well at the things they are designed for and some people (the tinkerers/makers/creators and many more) are looking around. Seeing whats available.
