Wow, I didn't realize how much I missed blog posts like this. Is there any way we can get the version of the Internet where people posted like this on their personal blogs back? It's the reason sites like hacker news came to exist, you couldn't just scroll social media to find stuff, you had to sort of stumble upon (that used to be a website too, didn't it?) stuff like this and pass it around word of mouth. It was awesome.

- tonyhart7 2mo agoI mean twitter used to be a micro blogging website that people could use without maintaining real blog website what's the issue here ????

- WalterGR 2mo agoI can read it fine. I’m not logged in to X. That you personally can’t read it doesn’t imply that everyone else here is a horrible person.
- nixosbestos 2mo ago1. I don't believe you. Or at best, they're A/Bing you and letting you read a tiny modicum of content before forcing you to login. Actually, I'll donate $250 to a charity of your choice if you show me you on x.com mobile browser, logged out, and then load that link. *Any charity you want.* 2. I never said that. Weird that you would feel the need to put words in my mouth. Why might that be? GOD I LOVE HN, I CANT REPLY NOW. WHY DO I BOTHER? Since I can't reply, and I was wrong: https://files.catbox.moe/kksyqz.png https://files.catbox.moe/kksyqz.png

Sure. https://waltergr.com/misc/hn-scrap-on-x/1.png https://waltergr.com/misc/hn-scrap-on-x/1.png https://waltergr.com/misc/hn-scrap-on-x/2.png https://waltergr.com/misc/hn-scrap-on-x/2.png https://waltergr.com/misc/hn-scrap-on-x/3.png https://waltergr.com/misc/hn-scrap-on-x/3.png The first image is what I see when I visit the page; the second when I dismiss the dialog. The third image is what happens when you take a screenshot of a web page on iOS and save "Full Page", which is why you don't see Chrome's UI or the iOS status bar. > *Any charity you want.* I choose Habitat for Humanity. Edit: Good on ya for following through!
- sillysaurusx 2mo agoI opened a fresh instance of Tor browser and went to https://x.com/moxie/status/2091218652133732491 https://x.com/moxie/status/2091218652133732491 I got https://i.imgur.com/JCeLEgG.png https://i.imgur.com/JCeLEgG.png which is readable. Then I enabled mobile browser using devtools and got https://i.imgur.com/ryJk07p.png https://i.imgur.com/ryJk07p.png which is unreadable. I think mobile vs desktop was the central confusion. Mobile is broken logged out. Desktop works ok.

- scubbo 2mo agoI also hate Twitter and cancelled my account. I'm able to read it while logged out - and if I wasn't, there's xcancel.com, and others. You're not doing yourself any favours.
- bigstrat2003 2mo agoI read it just fine, and I do not have a Twitter account.
- p-o 2mo ago> It's a long form post on a site I can't read because I have literally half an ounce of actual self respect. Glad I'm not the only one.
- gumby 2mo agoChange x to xcancel and read it that way.

- ceroxylon 2mo agoI am not affiliated with them beyond deciding to host my thoughts from adolescence with them in the dial-up days, but Diaryland.com is still a thing.
- snohobro 2mo agoMan I miss StumbleUpon so much. That was such a glorious internet time for me. Found so many interesting and weird corners of the internet. I’ve been trying hard to avoid the centralized internet. That button to just send me to random places would be so nice. I feel like you gotta be the change you want to see though. The small indie web, which never really went away I think, seems to be on the rise again. I know I’ve been enjoying clicking through all sorts of small personal sites people have running.
