This took maybe an hour. A bingo card for the next announcements to expect from Twitter. https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2022/next-twitter-announcements-a-bingo-card/
Next Twitter Announcements - A Bingo Card

Since I was joking about this with two friends over text message about the poor decisions that the new head of Twitter is making, and I asked "Is there a bingo card?" and one said … | Cogito, Ergo Sumana | Blog by Sumana Harihareswara, Changeset founder

In <2 days I've filled in 1 square, and 2 more are arguably kinda filled.

I had not anticipated when I made this that a bingo would be likely. And now I'm having to reevaluate that.

@brainwane no, I realize now that I'm probably mistaken, but I was under the impression that they'd stopped having all hands altogether.

@brainwane When I read this yesterday, I didn't realize it wasn't meant to be a viable bingo card until I got to the first Giuliani square. Up to that point I'd thought everything else was no worse than 10:1 odds.

@danima I tried to include several kinda plausible events plus some really silly and implausible ones; I thought I had made, like, a 1:2 ratio of former to latter. I no longer know

@brainwane how come this content is flagged "sensitive content" ?
Show threadSumana HarihareswaraNov 14, 2022
@Zehavoc I thiiiink it might be because I put it behind a CW? Sorry for inconvenience
Show threadSumana HarihareswaraNov 14, 2022
@Zehavoc or I may have accidentally checked the 'sensitive content' checkbox
Show threadIrinaNov 15, 2022
@brainwane @Zehavoc No, that's definitely because it's behind a CW. The software doesn't know if your CW is meant as a subject line or an actual warning.

@irina Much thanks for the info. I did want to use the content note to help people avoid Twitter-related stuff if it'd annoy them. So this all makes sense @Zehavoc

@aegtx The picayune distinction I feel I ought to make is that I thiiiink the current failures are unintentional rather than -- as predicted in the bingo card -- a policy decision

@brainwane Fair. And yet not less hilarious.
Show threadSumana HarihareswaraNov 15, 2022
@aegtx thank you! And it seems several people (per my mentions/notifications) believe that the breakage still counts as filling that square. And the breakage DOES seem to come from what seems to be a policy decision (reducing the # of microservices). So maybe I should just say, yes, that square is checked :-)

Elon Musk just ended Twitter SMS 2FA (Update: Appears to be back up for some)

If you use Twitter SMS 2FA — which sends you a text to prove who you are when you log in — you probably should add another method.

@gzt I used to think no, because that was an accident, but now I am thinking maybe yes, because the accident probably stems from the executive decision to turn off a lot of microservices
