xmunk @sh.itjust.works The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn't an asshole.

24 0 Replyxmunk @sh.itjust.works I understand that it can be immensely scary to leave a job and if the acquisition happened a week ago I'd be more forgiving but... they've had enough time, H1Bs have exit clauses that, especially someone fleeing Twitter for ethical reasons, could have used to find an alternative sponsor.
I do fucking hate H1B exploitation, but folks have had long enough at this point that the excuses runneth dry.

Tanis Nikana @lemmy.world Most of the people involved in that cyberattack are wearing thigh high socks and cat ear headphones, and they’re much cooler than Musk would ever be.

What is "priaprism"?
I'll take "PP WORDS" for 600, Alex.
15 0 ReplyTanis Nikana @lemmy.world Having a janky wang doesn’t make Musk uncool in and of itself, lots of janky wang-havers are cool.
His insecurity about it, publicly, deprives him of any coolosity he ever could have had.
He is a man without potential or love.

Imagine firing your entire IT team and then crying 'cyberattack' when the servers can't handle traffic.

But I'm sure he needs someone experienced enough to manage that project.
2 0 ReplyMohamed @lemmy.ca I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed "redundancies" in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.

Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit. It seems like he might not’ve been lying on this one account.Never mind. Looks like he is lying again.10 1 ReplyClent @lemmy.dbzer0.com He's blaming it on Ukraine which sounds like a false flag. He'll use this as the reason he has to cut off Starlink to the country.
