There's an entire thread under the linked tweet.

  Twitter UX sucks pretty badly, especially for those who have not used it much.

    I don't like Twitter's UX either, but to get to the rest of the thread you just scroll down? Isn't that how we've always viewed documents on the internet?
    - emilfihlman 6y ago
      Nope, that's not how it's visible to me. I just see 2 posts with images, and then "comments" to those have new images but clicking on them does not allow me to conveniently view the next one but have to instead return back and do the whole process from the start.

      You have to open the link OP posted here and then click the top tweet for it to open, then you can scroll down. Without clicking it, you only see two tweets with no indication there's more. I only see 4 photos at that point and have to click "11 more replies" to see more, but there's no indication that there's more before you "open" the first tweet.

        Weird. Maybe it's because I'm logged in, but clicking the link immediately lets me scroll through the entire thread.

      Forth tweet says "so this happened" and is a picture of a wedding ring on a woman's finger. Next is a Voltron gif, a pic of some woman's makeup, and a fantasy corset.

    I agree. But that's partly because people are use a microblogging platform to post things that are definitely not micro blogs.
    - emilfihlman 6y ago
      Except a microblogging platform would probably work here, even though Twitter doesn't.

  Which may or may not show. I had to refresh to see that thread. (I loaded the URL again in a fresh Private Browsing window, and sure enough, I didn't see the thread.) Another reason Twitter is a poor substitute for a blog post.

It's all unrolled here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1278413772680507392.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1278413772680507392.html Personally, I think this is bad form. He should have quietly told the seller that the data is recoverable rather than broadcast it all over Twitter. The last thing we need is the Police finding reasons NOT to wear bodycams.

  All police body cam footage should be public. Their work is paid for by tax money, they are supposed to be public servants. Governments, including their police force should be transparent to public they're supposed to be serving.
  - Jaruzel 6y ago
    And if you were falsely arrested, and had the footage out there without your consent, you'd be happy for that too? It's a double edged sword I think.
    - gruez 6y ago
      I don't think the parent comment (or anyone for that matter) is advocating for the unauthorized public release of bodycam footage. I think his point is that as public servants with extraordinary power, the public interest trumps any personal expectations of privacy while on the job. As such, the public shouldn't tolerate "but privacy!" as an excuse from police officers not to have bodycams.

    While I agree with the sentiment that public workers should be accountable to the tax payers, let's not forget they are still humans. Would you like your employer to point a cam at your desk and have it recording at all times?
    - grawprog 6y ago
      Fortunately, my job doesn't require me to carry firearms, detain citizens or uphold laws. Furthermore, when I was being paid by government grant money, we were accountable for every thing we did while being paid and every penny we spent. We were required to make regular reports and justify everything. It'd be nice to see even that level of accountability with policing.

You need to follow the twitter thread. Click the first tweet (or go to https://mobile.twitter.com/d0tslash/status/1278413772680507392 https://mobile.twitter.com/d0tslash/status/12784137726805073...). Then scroll down and click on "more replies" to keep going. Feel free to curse Twitter's UI/UX along the way.
