Bei den heute andauernden Ausfällen von Bluesky denke nostalgisch an den #Failwhale von #Twitter zurück. (The Atlantic: The Story of Twitter's Fail Whale: archive.is/iFY3F)

There was a *lot* of schadenfreude going around #Twitter X earlier this month about #cloudcomputing outages. I guess what goes around comes around. Where's the #failwhale when you need it... 🐳

@Moore I'm talking about all languages with standards bodies, but yes, TC39 is particularly #failwhale adjacent. There are lots of reasons, but the post-ES4 explosion of veto players at the hands of strict consensus sealed the deal:

>> "This is amongst the longest #X / #Twitter #outages we've tracked in terms of duration, and the pattern is consistent with a denial of service attack targeting X's infrastructure at scale," says #Musk.

So, from #FailWhale to #CrashX 🤔

Can't wait for it to #Xpire.

#failwhale Vibes im Jahr 2025! Wilde Spekulation: Mit diesem Aufsehen haben sie nicht gerechnet.

Oh internet mens. Why? Get a random ping from a rather hot guy. I try not to get too excited. You know how these things go. And there it is. One of his opening shots is him taking a hit off a crack pipe. Sigh. Sorry, internet d00d. No #PNP here. Says so in my profile, if you’d looked.

Wow, @bsky.app really gives you (positive) Twitter 2012 vibes at the moment. Welcome to all emigrants, nice to have you here. #Bluesky #Twitter #Retro #FailWhale 🦋

I find it funny & lame how much people forgotten that #FailWhale was actually a fun part of OG Twitter and nowadays detractors celebrates when Blue sky gets a hiccup as it is a crime that people are looking for Twitter-like vibe.

Wuss generation everywhere.

Nawww, looks like Bluesky is having its first #FailWhale event. How quickly they grow up...

Re: #FedEx #package to #Saskatchewan. For those not familiar, we have #Alberta on our western border (and British Columbia is on the other side of #Alberta), and on our eastern border we have #Manitoba.

Here's the tracking. It arrives in B.C., is put on a truck (it's not an air shipment) and is next seen in Alberta. It's put on another truck, and sent all the way through Saskatchewan to Manitoba. And it will eventually be put on a truck to come back to Saskatchewan...

#Twitter has become *extremely unreliable* for me in the past week or so – errors in loading the time-line, images not being displayed, etc. 😫

Happens consistently with both the desktop web-site and the #iOS app. What a mess!

It's the retired #failwhale bird from Twitter!

@DaveMasonDotMe Yup. I Federated my Threads account, posted a few hashtags I follow on Mastodon to improve my odds of seeing them, and still don't see my post from Threads. #failwhale

Somebody crafted this artwork weeks ago and I'd laugh out loud if they re-title it ”X Fail Whale” now.

@BasicAppleGuy HAHA it's #FailWhale

#Centralization is bad. The current massive #fail-ure of #Twitter is the best example. The infamous #FailWhale has returned and is bigger than ever.

And to be honest, I don't shed a single tear for #Twitter. It was always a questionable proprietary site before #ElonMusk, but under his rule it became much, much worse. #Proprietary software gives a small owner class unjust power over the many.

Let's embrace #decentralizaion and #FreeSoftware instead.

So, Twitter now thinks I'm a bot, which makes me think this time the musk ox has really managed ram the Titanic into the iceberg at full speed. #RIPTwitter I was wondering if Elon was pursuing some malevolent agenda or just plain incompetent. Now I know. #FailWhale #ElonSucks

zomg. Hello, old friend. I haven't seen you in a long time. #failwhale
