X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage. (htxt.co.za)

X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.

This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.

The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

I had a cheeseburger for dinner. It was….. okay.

Disappointing cheeseburgers are the worst

I think it comes down to the patty at the end. If it’s a frozen patty, like a bubba burger, it can be cooked to perfection, but it requires constant attention to detail otherwise it’s either undercooked mush, or an overcooked grey thing. Generally patties that are hand made are more forgiving. But even then, I guess the cheese and bread involved are possible phases to one up or really detract from a burger. I think I’m just really hungry for a good burger and it’s late

God I hope there's some engineer somewhere at X quietly sabotaging all of their services.

Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot

Wonderful! May it stay that way forever.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

Now this is the kind of X news I'm okay with reading.

Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.

And nothing of value was lost.

Reddit was like this, even way before the enshittification.

It happened so often on Reddit, it wasn't even news.

But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago

Oh no!

Anyway...

[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 16 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't notice

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Good. Sadly it was fixed.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the owner wants to "automate" the US government with AI.

The idiots are in charge.
