Followers azzerati, è Twitter che risolve un bug

Quelli che, nel pomeriggio di oggi, hanno aperto la propria pagina Twitter, hanno avuto una brutta, bruttissima sorpresa. Perché il profilo di quasi tutti i Twitters presentava qualche acciacco, soprattutto lì, in “zona” followers”: nessuno aveva più amici, stava tutto a zero.

Allarmismi, battute (c’è chi dice che la fine del mondo del 2012 partirà da Twitter, e che sono queste le prime avvisaglie, chi inventa tag ad hoc, lamentando la disfunzione, chi non si preoccupa e continua a chiacchierare con gli amici). Ma cosa è accaduto? Il Social network era in manutenzione straordinaria. Con queste motivazioni, date dallo stesso team di Twitter: “Abbiamo  identificato e risolto un bug che permetteva agli utenti di “forzare” altri utenti a seguirli. Stiamo lavorando per fare in modo che gli abusi creatisi a causa del bug vengano corretti. I Following/Followers stanno a zero, ma tutto tornerà presto alla normalità“.

Attraverso un procedimento neanche troppo sofisticato, visibile dalla foto in alto, il bug permetteva a chiunque lo volesse di farsi seguire da altri utenti Twitter, senza nessun permesso. A tutti gli effetti, gli utenti (soprattutto quelli più famosi presenti sul Social Network, n.d.r.) non erano a conoscenza di questa falla, e si ritrovavano in lista di persone che, probabilmente, non avrebbero mai seguito.

Grazie alla manutenzione del team di Twitter, è stato possibile risolvere il problema che stava destando polemiche, anche se questo ha significato per tutti gli utenti un azzeramento totale, improvviso, ma decisamente temporaneo, dei followers, guadagnati magari dopo mesi di pubbliche relazioni, di chiacchiere e retwitt. Ora Twitter non è più down, anzi: tutti gli amici sono tornati al proprio posto, ed è possibile inviare Direct messages a chiunque (con i followers a zero, Twitter non riconosce nessuno a cui inviare il messaggio privato, il nome dell’utente non può essere inserito manualmente, ma tratto dalla lista di amici).

  27. Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!

  31. NASA scientists are in a state of anxious limbo after the Trump administration proposed a budget that would eliminate one of the United States’ top climate labs – the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, or GISS – as a standalone entity.

    In its place, it would move some of the lab’s functions into a broader environmental modeling effort across the agency.

    Career specialists are now working remotely, awaiting details and even more unsure about their future at the lab after they were kicked out of their longtime home in New York City last week. Closing the lab for good could jeopardize its value and the country’s leadership role in global climate science, sources say.

    “It’s an absolute sh*tshow,” one GISS scientist said under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. “Morale at GISS has never been lower, and it feels for all of us that we are being abandoned by NASA leadership.”

    “We are supposedly going to be integrated into this new virtual NASA modeling institute, but (we have) no idea what that will actually look like,” they said.

    NASA is defending its budget proposal, with a nod toward the lab’s future.
    “NASA’s GISS has a significant place in the history of space science and its work is critical for the Earth Science Division, particularly as the division looks to the future of its modeling work and capabilities,” NASA spokesperson Cheryl Warner said in a statement.

    “Fundamental contributions in research and applications from GISS directly impact daily life by showing the Earth system connections that impact the air we breathe, our health, the food we grow, and the cities we live in,” Warner said.

    GISS has a storied history in climate science on the global scale.

    James Hansen, a former director, first called national attention to human-caused global warming at a Senate hearing during the hot summer of 1988. The lab, founded in 1961, is still known worldwide for its computer modeling of the planet that enable scientists to make projections for how climate change may affect global temperatures, precipitation, extreme weather events and other variables.
