TIL what triggers bonsly’s evolution

twitter lol 

« The changes were occurring in a near total information vacuum internally, employees said. Twitter’s internal communications staff has been laid off or left, and workers said they were looking outward for information from media articles. Mr. Musk has increasingly downplayed the role of traditional media over the past few months, citing Twitter as one of the best platforms for the rise in “citizen journalism,” as he put it. » lmao NYT is salty

« The company had said on Thursday afternoon that it was closing “our office buildings” and disabling employee badge access until Monday. But in his emails on Friday, Mr. Musk appeared to want to talk to people in person at the company’s San Francisco offices. »

« Elon Musk sent a flurry of emails to Twitter employees on Friday morning with a plea.

“Anyone who actually writes software, please report to the 10th floor at 2 p.m. today,” he wrote in a two-paragraph message, which was viewed by The New York Times. “Thanks, Elon.”

About 30 minutes later, Mr. Musk sent another email saying he wanted to learn about Twitter’s “tech stack,” a term used to describe a company’s software and related systems. » tfw u haven’t learned about the tech stack yet and already fired all the workers

@coriander i mean i powered through it out of sheer Gay but

@coriander you get over it pretty fast once you actually hit the Game but yeah the beginning has real “i already graduated school like hell i want to go back” vibes

@00dani @coriander yeah it's disappointing

however there are WAY more face customization options

@coriander @00dani so like, all the things which aren't the school uniform you can customize, but you do have to wear the school uniform

@coriander @00dani backpacks, hair, socks, shoes, glasses, hat, gloves, phone case

@coriander this is how i was introduced to hbomberguy existing i just knew him as the toot person

“oh the toot person is playing beaver bother? ok”

every game which lets you customize your appearance should let you choose to wear glasses from the getgo

@coriander okay but you feed it a sub sandwich and it goes “Gomp”

this game is going to be a lesbian crisis for me

we’ve been at this server for over a year and it was a little rough in the beginning getting it all set up right but it's honestly extremely stable for what it is

remembering how dev.glitch.social, the server everyone hacked on where i sometimes just pushed to main and tested live, had an average downtime of like maybe half a day a month

@Taweret@octodon.social @coriander we didn't get all of this stuff implemented into glitchsoc because of time+energy constraints but i feel like filtering was one of the few areas where we actually had very clear user stories about what things were needed and why

but upstream mastodon has never heard of the concept of a "user story" so i guess it's not surprising to see things backslide there

@Taweret@octodon.social @coriander i very specifically remember very specific conversations in 2017 regarding how filtering functionality needed to work, like

• it's good to know that things are being filtered so you don't think federation is broken, although you might want to hide these indicators (for example if you only have one or two filters and it's obvious what everyone is talking about, maybe you don't want the constant reminder that everyone is talking about it)

• sometimes it's good to be able to click through and see why something was filtered, but it shouldn't be blasted on the main timeline for a lot of topics

• sometimes it's good to be able to reveal the thing which was filtered, but some people have CW clickthrough syndrome and would really rather not have that ability for some topics

anyway i guess eugen wasn't paying attention or else forgot. whoops 🤷🏻‍♀️
