Twitter is experiencing a Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS), which is causing the site to become slow or unresponsive.
A DDoS attack is when a group or individual overwhelms a website with a flood of fake traffic, making it difficult for legitimate users to access the site.
Twitter is working to mitigate the attack and restore normal service to its users.
Twitter's management has been criticized for poor communication and decision-making, leading to negative consequences.
The departure of experienced individuals at Twitter may be linked to unrealistic deadlines and extreme schedule pressure, hindering progress.
There are concerns about the impact of Twitter's recent measures on H1B visa holders, who may face difficulties finding new employment in a challenging job market.
The source code for Far Cry version 1.34 has been leaked, allowing users to potentially modify the PC version of the game and add support for the Ubisoft game launcher / DRM.
The leaked source code does not contain Xbox code or game assets, but it does have some executable files. However, it may not compile without errors.
Users who are skilled and put in the effort to understand the code base could potentially run a debug version of the game using this leaked source code.
The discussion is centered around the idea of open-sourcing old software and game engines for educational purposes.
The leaked source code for the original Far Cry game has been leaked and is now available on the internet, providing insights into the development process of one of the most popular game franchises today.
The availability of leaked source code raises legal and ethical questions, sparking discussions about copyright and the preservation of gaming history.
Twitter switched temporarily to rate limited mode
Twitter recently implemented a temporary measure called rate limited mode.
Rate limited mode is designed to address issues related to high traffic and spam on the platform.
This measure could affect Twitter users by limiting the number of actions they can perform within a specific time frame.
Elon Musk has announced temporary limits on Twitter to combat data scraping and system manipulation, with verified accounts limited to reading 6000 posts per day, unverified accounts to 600 posts per day, and new unverified accounts to 300 posts per day.
Musk's involvement in Twitter and his decision to implement these limits have generated interest from tech-savvy users.
The long-term impact of these limits and Musk's influence over Twitter remains uncertain, but it could potentially lead to the emergence of smaller communities and forums if larger social media platforms continue to make user-hostile changes.
