@prologic I'm aghast at just how bad it is. I assume a lot of these big tech sites are a lot less secure than they pretend to be, but my god
@abucci Some companies I've worked at... 🤣 Man, the stories I could tell 🤦♂️

@prologic I had a disagreement once about whether it was safer to host your own services and data, or use the cloud. The crux of the other person's argument was that the cloud services have professionals who handle data for a living. The crux of my argument was that even if I were significantly less competent, I care deeply about my own privacy, which they don't, and there's only one of me who can fuck up while they might have hundreds of people accessing the machines where my data lives. You can even do some back of the envelope math: if I have a 5% chance of screwing something up each day, and each of them has a 0.1% chance but there are 100 of them, then there is a higher chance one of them will screw something up than I will.
Anyway, it looks like I might have been giving these services more credit than they deserve on the latter point.
@prologic Despite not liking Elon all that much, as well as hating Twitter in almost every way, I'd still give Elon some credit for at least tying to fix that excuse of a site, even if so far it's mostly just the CEO equivalent, of throwing shit at the wall and seeing if any of it sticks and slows the collapse of the house.
It's still better than the previous strategy, of looking away and pretending they don't see the holes in the walls and pedophiles inside of the falling house.
Obviously the best solution in my opinion, would be to bulldoze this poor excuse of a house/site completely and build a better one from scratch, but I can see how that's hard to do, when it cost you 40 billion dollars.
It gives "Tweet not found" did they took it down?
What did it say?
