I'm seeing the boycott and "dump Spotify and move to Tidal campaign" going around on my socials again. That is not an improvement.

"Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey says his technology firm Block is laying off almost half its workforce because artificial intelligence (AI) 'fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company.'"

Yes, Jack owns Tidal!

Jack Dorsey's Block cuts thousands of roles as it embraces AI

"The Twitter co-founder says he believes the majority of firms will make similar changes 'within the next year.'"

Twitter cumplió 20 años y del primer Tweet

Hace 20 años Jack Dorsey publicó el primer mensaje en la red social, donde su mensaje fue bastante simple. Ha pasado mucho agua bajo el puente, hasta que llegó Elon y reestructuró todo hacia X.

https://twitter.com/jack/status/20?

Como dato anecdótico tenemos que una startup de comercio electrónico compró el pájaro de Twitter de 254 kilos que una vez adornó la oficina de la compañía en San Francisco y lo hizo explotar en un desierto de Nevada rodeado de Tesla Cybertrucks como parte de una elaborada estrategia publicitaria.

Por mi lado, me uní a la red social en mayo del 2007 impulsado por un amigo, Facundo Arena, que me dijo: «sumate y manda un mensaje». Y bueno mi primer tweet no fue mucho mejor al de Jack:

https://twitter.com/arielmcorg/status/72658772

Y si por alguna razón quieren saber cuál fue el primer tweet enviado, lo pueden hacer de la siguiente manera:

Si te uniste en mayo del 2007 (como yo), busca: from:tu_usuario until:2007-05-01.
Luego se ordena los resultados por «Más recientes» y baja hasta el final de esa lista corta.

A la espera de tus comentarios…

RaiNews: 20 anni fa il primo tweet. Oggi X ha circa 550 milioni di utenti con una popolarità in calo

Il primo post è stato quello del fondatore Jack Dorsey, la piattaforma ancora si chiamava "Twittr". Un nome che richiamava un breve cinguettio, quando ancora si usavano gli sms

Twenty years ago, the first tweet. Today, X has approximately 550 million users with declining popularity.

The first post was by the founder Jack Dorsey, the platform was still called “Twittr.” A name that evoked a brief chirp, when SMS were still being used.

L'Huffington Post - News, inchieste e approfondimenti HuffPost: Twitter, vent'anni dopo. La piattaforma che doveva aprire il mondo e lo ha chiuso in un algoritmo

Vent'anni fa un tweet di Jack Dorsey cambiava il modo in cui il mondo comunica. Oggi X è una piattaforma che amplifica l'estremismo, orienta il dibattito politico e resta, paradossalmente, indispensabile per il giornalismo. Storia di una promessa tradita

Twitter, twenty years later. The platform that was supposed to open the world has closed it in an algorithm.

Twenty years ago, a tweet by Jack Dorsey changed the way the world communicates. Today, X is a platform that amplifies extremism, shapes political debate, and remains, paradoxically, indispensable for journalism. A story of a broken promise.

Layer 4 Weaponization Risk: Dual-Use Infrastructure for Weapon Guidance & Military Coordination (Issue # 1065)

"Problem Statement

While Issue #1063 proposes a comprehensive four-layer mesh architecture (BLE + LoRa + Tor + Nostr), it does not adequately address a critical security vulnerability: the passive background relay infrastructure (Layer 4) creates an invisible command-and-control network that can be exploited for weapon guidance, military coordination, and kinetic operations — regardless of encryption.

This is fundamentally different from the timing/triangulation vulnerabilities discussed in #1063, which assume adversaries trying to ... "

Jack Dorsey's Block Accused of 'AI-Washing' to Excuse Laying Off Nearly Half Its Workforce - Slashdot

｢ Block more than tripled its employee base between 2019 and 2022, growing from 3,835 to 12,430 workers. The company's stock had fallen 40% since early 2025, creating pressure to cut costs. "This is more about the business being bloated for so long than it is about AI," ｣
