This would be far more interesting if you shared how, and did it on a platform that wasn't meant for short form content.

- adtac 2y agoWriting a quick Github gist, sorry haha, I'll post a link here in a few minutes. Edit: https://gist.github.com/adtac/eb639d3c707b55a28f0ee9a420aa7e0c https://gist.github.com/adtac/eb639d3c707b55a28f0ee9a420aa7e...
- dang 2y agoOk, we've changed the URL above to that one from https://twitter.com/adtac_/status/1820127470613622950 https://twitter.com/adtac_/status/1820127470613622950, which it includes.
- adtac 2y agoThanks!
- adtac 2y agodang, can we merge this thread into https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41155177 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41155177 or vice versa?
- dang 2y agoSure.
- arnavpraneet 2y agoI did not expect your username to be dang, I thought he meant it as a figure of speech like "dang"
- loeg 2y agoThe twitter thread has the demo, which is pretty neat. Github link is lacking that (maybe the author can add the demo to that).
- judge2020 2y agoHere's a direct MP4: https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1820127349548982272/vid/avc1/1080x1920/eCygxDriCK5gaFPF.mp4 https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1820127349548982272/vi... You could probably direct link it in markdown to embed it, although i'm not sure if Twitter will serve it on a high-traffic gist like this one after a while (I imagine there's some sort of rate limit-based hotlink protection).
- chemmail 2y ago10 updoots for u kind sure.
- whoami730 2y agoCan it cause my Kindle to get bricked?
- averageRoyalty 2y agoProbably. Jailbreaking is always a risk, and you should research and understand the risks before undertaking.
- creesch 2y agoInteresting that you perceive hn as a platform for short form content.
- Meph504 2y agoTwitter is where his link points...
- creesch 2y agoYeah, I figured that out about 6 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41158720 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41158720 Though it did already point to the gist back then, and I am still unsure how I can tell it pointed to twitter originally. Thanks though?
- debugnik 2y ago> I am still unsure how I can tell it pointed to twitter originally. You can usually find a comment by dang saying something like "we've changed the URL from <old link>".
- vosper 2y agoThey were talking about the original link to a tweet
- creesch 2y agoAh, missed that.
- dstroot 2y agoYou said this much more constructively that I might - I really dislike when people post long form stuff on X/Twitter. For those who may not know you can reply to a tweet with “@threadreaderapp unroll” to have a reconstructed doc sent to you. The bot will reply directly to you and only you after the unrolling is complete. Hope that helps someone.
- bazzargh 2y agoI know this one has been fixed, but I also find those an annoyance - more so because if you're not logged in on twitter, you only see the first tweet, not the thread. So rather than get irritated when I click through stories, I block the links on HN with ublock-origin rules like so: news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=twitter.com"]) news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=twitter.com"])+tr news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=x.com"]) news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=x.com"])+tr news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=medium.com"]) news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=medium.com"])+tr 2 rules each because the replies and the story titles don't share a common parent element. eg right now I can tell from the numbers beside the stories that number 23 is missing; but otherwise HN looks the same. The same trick works for google search results; I have rules like the ones below to block less useful tutorial sites when I'm looking for python/js docs: google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://www.w3schools"]) google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://www.geeksforgeeks"]) google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://realpython.com"]) google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://www.programiz"]) google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://www.datacamp"]) Hope this helps folk too; I'm not going to fight a battle over links to these sites (and others I've blocked), I'm just trying to improve my own experience of the site.
- naitgacem 2y agoI do something similar with Google search results. I hide results from Pinterest, Quora, TikTok, ...
