Japanese disaster prevention app NERV can't post to the platform after hitting X's API rate limitations.
Japanese disaster prevention X account can’t post anymore after hitting API limit - The issue has arisen after major Tsunami warnings have been issued in areas of Japan following a strong earthquake::undefined
Come on, this is totally the japanese government’s fault. They should be aware of the limits of the services they use. How are we blaming Twitter for the incompetence of the japanese government? I get that we want to hate in Twitter but how incompetent is that team? A disaster prevention team didn’t forsee the limits of the communication services they use?
I don’t like Twitter but come on, stop shifting the blame.
I read the title. Had some thoughts and opinions. After reading the article, the thoughts and opinions remain the same.
The article lists prices for next level api requests but it’s 5000 dollars compared to the 100 that the non profit is already paying. They encouraged users to download their app to receive potentially life saving alerts.
I’m not defending X or anything, I’m just asking people to read the damn article before going in with the obligatory “Why not Mastodon?” If they had read the article, they would’ve known that the project has a Mastodon account already and we wouldn’t have been wasting our time.
Fair. The common user uses the easiest, most accessible programs and applications. At this time, lemmy or mastodon is not common.
Make a fancy colorful app with big buttons and fun pictures and people will flock here. From what I see, the common user base here is advanced level tech people.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I think the replies to this post really captures Lemmy’s energy and I love it.
I’m surprised they don’t send faxes.
They do.
Boy do i have news for you)
NERV already has a Mastodon server.

They already announced last year that they want to move away from Twitter.

Love it when corporations have more power than government entities.

This is how I feel…
It’s almost like trying to run the world on social media was a shit tier idea.
NERV announcements got blocked? I guess he’s not getting in the robot after all
I feel like this is warranted:
Fuck Elon.

Twitter worked. Elon bought it. Enshittification ensued. Twitter broke. Hmmm…
What an astute and elaborate explanation. Surely this is this answer and the guy you responded to is definitely over simplifying it.
Sounds like it’s time for governments to get off Xitter.
Everyone should.
How about avoiding commercial platforms when it comes to vitally important official communication?
Kind of like the amber alert system?

Evangelion?
Society if people read the article:

I summed up the article in three sentences.

The Evangelion app name is pure gold.
Fuck X and Musk.
Twitter was useless but X is just a vanity project at this point
It definitely makes headlines worse anyway
Letting people senselessly get injured or die seems to be a common theme in Elon’s ventures, so I’m not all that surprised about this.
