Image Transcription: Twitter Post

Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter’s JavaScript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second.
Twitter is DDOSing itself.

^I’m a human volunteer transcribing posts in a format compatible with screen readers, for blind and visually impaired users!^
Right now, I’m just operating freelance. But I’d recommend checking out the ToR subreddit and accessing the docs and discord from there.
(We don’t have a central document put together yet that isn’t reddit based, but if you go from reddit to discord it should be okay)
Hey, I’m not much of a transcriber, but if you guys need any kind of infrastructure or tool hosting, I’d gladly donate my resources.
Do you all have a home community? This was something I always wanted to look into doing on Reddit but never made the time.
Or the beginning of the new new Internet
Funnily enough IPv5 actually existed, it was basically early VOIP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Stream_Protocol
Fucking cryptobros stole 3.0 from us. It was supposed to be decentralized internet, not this ponzi Blockchain bullshit.
Seriously. They talked about smart contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, and made it sound like NFT’s would replace your mortgage.
Instead we got jpegs of monkeys and Logan Paul hustling digital eggs, and everyone trading on speculation with no one actually building anything other than scams.
There actually is a real project called Internet 2 (https://internet2.edu). It’s a secondary high-speed backbone between institutions of higher learning. 15 years ago, at least, it was really fast…if you needed a fast connection to one of the few other members.
Another great bastion of reddit content has been felled.
Another reason for redditors to leave and join Lemmy.

Get the popcorn out. 🍿
Lol I just remembered Elon’s tweet that led to him firing an Android dev. Who’s doing poorly batched remote procedure calls again? 😂
This is why we can’t have nice things! Something something more money, right?
This isn’t even greed or anything, it’s just sloppy incompetence and/or obscenely rushed development.
Intelligent retries and exponential backoffs are really common things taught to programmers, whoever didn’t add this needs to have a really good reason or a really good resume…
