X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.

This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.

The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

Hopefully the next rebrand will be from X to rm -rf /.

was that the command that deleted (almost permanently) Toystory 2?

Looking it up, pretty close.

The work done on the film to date was nearly lost in 1998 when one of the animators, while routinely clearing some files, accidentally entered the deletion command code /bin/rm -r -f * on the root folder of the Toy Story 2 assets on Pixar's internal servers.
