is it silicon valley cool to not use uppercase letters? Not being snarky. A genuine question.
- exhibitapp 3y ago
  Yes, this is something I have observed, for whatever reason sf-techies don't like capital letters or sentence case.

    I blame them every time someone calls me Lain.

    What a strange and yet seemingly juvenile choice.

  They’re being authentic and real by only using lowercase

    Real talk, bell hooks was there WAY before silicon valley bros.

    before phone keyboards did it for you, caps required the shift key, which was utterly inefficient for real-time online discourse. and then those us who omitted the caps realized something: we dont need em

      'Utterly inefficient' seems a bit hyperbolic.
      - modzu 3y ago
        aaah such a methodical and painstaking expression, writing with caps and quotes, period and all.. suspects shields one from hyperbole :D

        interestingly, I also type ellipses as ".." because the third dot is irrelevant!

        I use number of dots to indicate length of the pause. A transcription of how I would have said it aloud. I think my maximum is 4.

  Certainly a snarky feminist tumblr thing ca. 2010 before cool people all starting posting on their phones and everything became sentence case again

Haha TIL that Twitter has replaced the blue check mark with a yellow one. What a scam.
- evan_ 3y ago
  The blue one is still around, but it costs $8/month. The gold one costs $1000/month
  - dools 3y ago
    Yes so everyone rushed to buy the blue checkmark because that used to be for verified accounts. Then everyone lost all faith in the blue checkmark, so now they charge $1000 for authenticated accounts. It's a massive bait and switch. The $8/month one is worthless. If they wanted to retain a greater share of the value they were creating through authenticating big accounts they could just have charged $1000/month for the blue checkmark.
