Twitter is experiencing a massive outage right now6
Verge ^ | 10/15/20 | Nick Statt

Twitter is experiencing an outage that began in the early evening on Thursday, with some users reporting problems sending tweets and refreshing their timelines starting shortly after 5:30PM ET. We have seen no new tweets cross our timelines since then, though we were able to find a tweet sent as late as 5:40PM ET using Twitter’s search tool.

User-generated reports on Downdetector.com are skyrocketing as well, but there’s no communication from the company itself as to the nature of the outrage. Twitter’s last major outage, occurring in February of this year, still allowed users to circumvent that outage by scheduling tweets. This does not appear to be a useable workaround right now.

My account turned into vapor. Can’t sign in, no record of it. Fortunately it was only a few days old so I just started another.

Been back up for awhile, my cat tweeted cat things to other cats. the minute she said something negative about Biden, “so sorry, there’s a problem with Twitter.” BLATANT politicking.

NOMAD is saying "ooohh, foxy lady!"

Actually he erased her brain, right? She started speaking Swahili again.

I did not know that.

Yeah. So, exactly like Twitter and Facebook.

I remember being absolutely in love with Amateur Radio and my friends there.

I remember Talk Radio.

I remember BBS sites. None that were prepper sites.

I did read (lurk) Free Republic a long time before I got an account. Found it from link on the Drudge Report.

I remember using Dogpile Search engine and Scroogle search engine.

Things that were simple and fun then, are a real pain now.

Smile. I’m old. But not yet brain dead.

I remember programming in Fortran 77.

I took one programming course, about 5 years after I graduated from College. It was in Basic.

When I was in College (graduated in 1970) they taught Cobal and Fortran, not much else. I have a Business management degree, only a few people specialized in that. It took punch cards to enter the programs. Not even green screen terminals.

That was back in the days of the Z80 CPU’s. Which addressed a maximum of 64K of RAM. (without bank switching)

But it worked really well. The really efficient software then were machine language stuff or carefully compiled software.

Odly, we had lots and lots of software around.

Now, we die with complexity. It is maddening. Such a waste of capacity.
