  • I'd rather not use their invented language to downplay their shit.

    That word is being used by one of the Project 2025 co-authors.

    Let's call them what they are instead:

    Nationalist Christofacists, or NatCs for short.

  • It isn't? I've been using the term since I picked up my first Android phone in 2010 and there were side-loaded apps everywhere. Hell, you used to have to side-load the Amazon Store app. And that was all just "download this apk and install it" Workflows.

  • I prefer Christofacist Nationalists. It's more accurate and doesn't let them fuckers disguise their intents behind some new buzzword dreamed up by the Project 2025 Christian Facism creators.

  • ~200,000 simultaneous connections vs ~2,000,000 simultaneous connections is a world of difference.

    Additionally, while a successful Zoom call, it still had issues, with a dedicated Zoom support team.

    Nothing about either of these events were "easy" or "fine".

    The big difference is that Musk is an arrogant idiot and decided to roll-his-own streaming service with a reduced headcount and a product that that is lacking proper load balancing, reservations, & scaling through load testing & real world tests scenarios that ramp up scale over time.

  • Have you seen popular games on launch day falling down on auth flows? That's largely just HTTPS text connections via REST. Now add in a binary data stream on top of that (likely RPC, but I'm not sure of Twitter's implementation).

    All that said, Twitter dropped the ball due to Musk's arrogance. Instead of having limited issues, it was riddled with issues as a result of him firing all the people that could have reduced the issues. As was foretold by our ancestors.

  • It's not just the data transfer. It's also number of connections and the combined load. Scaling theese kind of things can be a nightmare for games doing an auth workflow on launch day and that's largely just text connections over REST.

    Musk was an idiot and fired everybody that could have helped prevent/minimize the impact.
