Image Transcription: Twitter Post

@nelson@tech.lgbt, @nelson

Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter's JavaScript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second.

Twitter is DDOSing itself.

^I'm a human volunteer transcribing posts in a format compatible with screen readers, for blind and visually impaired users!^

[-] Dr_Cog@mander.xyz 36 points 1 year ago

I'm glad this volunteer community is back. How do I volunteer as well?

[-] BornVolcano@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Right now, I'm just operating freelance. But I'd recommend checking out the ToR subreddit and accessing the docs and discord from there.

(We don't have a central document put together yet that isn't reddit based, but if you go from reddit to discord it should be okay)

[-] FeatherConstrictor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

What does ToR stand for? Might be easier to find the subreddit that way.

[-] magikmw@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Hey, I'm not much of a transcriber, but if you guys need any kind of infrastructure or tool hosting, I'd gladly donate my resources.

[-] BornVolcano@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'll ask the (unofficial) Lemmy branch of the ToR group on discord. Personally, I have no idea how to do anything aside from the transcribing part, but that also means I don't know what kind of infrastructure we'd need to get this off the ground haha.

I'll reach out to them and get back to you with results!

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I like that the volunteer transcribers are already making the switch. Keep up the good work 👍

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Nice work! Thanks for helping visually impaired users :)

[-] Dohnakun@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Good hooman.

[-] zalack@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Do you all have a home community? This was something I always wanted to look into doing on Reddit but never made the time.

[-] BornVolcano@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, r/TranscribersOfReddit, and then there's a discord where we all actually talk

[-] sudo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 71 points 1 year ago

Or the beginning of the new new Internet

[-] gothicdecadence@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

Web 4.0 (we don't talk about 3.0)

[-] turbodrooler@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Bro, you don’t want to buy a monkey to get rich? Bro…

[-] amanaftermidnight@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fucking cryptobros stole 3.0 from us. It was supposed to be decentralized internet, not this ponzi Blockchain bullshit.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seriously. They talked about smart contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, and made it sound like NFT's would replace your mortgage.

Instead we got jpegs of monkeys and Logan Paul hustling digital eggs, and everyone trading on speculation with no one actually building anything other than scams.

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean, the legitimate stuff is all still there and it's all still growing. But it was eclipsed by a bunch of assholes trading tulip bulb scams. Now that the scams are no longer profitable and have mostly pulled up their stakes, everyone's like, "Well I guess crypto was a bust, then!"

No one blames tulips for the bulb bubble. The bulbs all still worked just fine after the tulip market crashed. But you didn't see it filling every page of every newspaper anymore, and that's a good thing.

Of course there is also the fact that you basically cannot use crypto for any legitimate purpose anymore due to draconian AML laws that have been passed in the last ten years specifically to fuck with crypto.

[-] burble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Out of genuine curiosity, what's the legitimate stuff?

[-] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Is that what happened to IPv5?

[-] bevan@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Funnily enough IPv5 actually existed, it was basically early VOIP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Stream_Protocol

[-] grue@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

I, for one, welcome our federated [lack of] overlords.

[-] Doombot1@lemmy.one 23 points 1 year ago

Internet 2

[-] hugegreenburger@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Electric Boogaloo!

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

[break dancing intensifies]

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have questions about your username. None I want visual aids in response. But questions none the less.

[-] FlippyFlopp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well you see their username is very easy to understand

Farts in French

If that doesn’t make sense

Farts in Russian

[-] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Well it's about time it finally came out!

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

There actually is a real project called Internet 2 (https://internet2.edu). It's a secondary high-speed backbone between institutions of higher learning. 15 years ago, at least, it was really fast...if you needed a fast connection to one of the few other members.

[-] Skaryon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Another great bastion of reddit content has been felled.

Another reason for redditors to leave and join Lemmy.

Lol, it's spreading

[-] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Get the popcorn out. 🍿

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Autocorrect strikes again!

[-] ratskrad@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Lol I just remembered Elon's tweet that led to him firing an Android dev. Who's doing poorly batched remote procedure calls again? 😂

[-] simo@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

This is why we can’t have nice things! Something something more money, right?

[-] Anomandaris@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

This isn't even greed or anything, it's just sloppy incompetence and/or obscenely rushed development.

Intelligent retries and exponential backoffs are really common things taught to programmers, whoever didn't add this needs to have a really good reason or a really good resume...

[-] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't complain if this kills corporate social media and we're left with the user-run fediverse.

[-] KreekyBonez@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

but then we'd have less to complain about

[-] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

But complaining is half my personality

[-] MelodiousShark@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Probably some code Elon's dumbass wrote also.

[-] Ragnell@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Can't believe Reddit was doubling down on a full moderator strike and Twitter said "Hold my beer"

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck twatter even more than fuck spez.

Star Wars Memes

11606 readers
663 users here now

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

==========

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
