I promise I’m not being a smart ass, but can you point me to a reputable source for the 80% false claim? I’ve seen a lot of people complaining of inaccurate tests, but have not come across any news articles myself. Maybe just for lack of tr

This is really cool! (but not unexpected) On the east coast, there is a species called ‘Coywolves’. They are a hybrid of pure coyotes and timber or grey wolves. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coywolf They are known to

Agreed. The whole app based 2FA does not seem great in retrospect. I accidentally bricked my whole account, by simple user error. That’s a good point, that it could just happen from a hardware malfunction as well. Seems like most 2FA these

Haha, no I have almost completely removed myself from their grip. I still use a couple accounts, but they are not primary. Only throwaway purposes, and the only app I use with them is gmail. All activity settings and history are turned of

Yeah for sure, It was kind of my fault. It all happened very quickly, I think 2FA was relatively new at the time. I kept getting ‘recommendations’ from Google to enable it to be more secure. As a dutiful user I obliged, and downloaded the a

A few years back, I got locked out of my primary gmail account due to a 2 factor authentication SNAFU. I was never able to recover it. I tried to go through the appropriate support channels more than once. Filled out extensive forms, even i

For sure, you nailed it. I just can't help but get pissed and check out after about 5-6 tweets. However, nice people have pointed out this lovely site, https://threadreaderapp.com , so I will be using it in the future :)

For sure the platform (Twitter) is why this has become such a common thing now. And why (commenters have schooled me), there are services trying to solve the problem https://threadreaderapp.com . But (tangent), as far as building

Interesting to hear the other side of it. Maybe there is an opportunity to build a writing platform that caters to this preference?

by 40four 7y ago
Not my preference, I prefer reading twitter for shorter, more 'one off' type of thoughts. I find the UI, comment threads, lots of buttons, etc. to be very distracting. For long form ideas, I prefer a more plain text approach. But

That's interesting! I'm seeing responses from both sides now. Some folks say they actually like reading in twitter rant form. It suits them. You are saying, some folks are saying, they like writing in twitter rant form. It sui

Indeed, I was unaware and another comment pointed it out. Great product, the exact solution to my frustration. I will become a user!

Oh that's awesome, thanks! I was unaware of this. Great product, clearly I'm not the only one this frustrates. Problem solved! https://threadreaderapp.com/help/about#about-thread-reader

A tangent if I may... I freaking hate twitter 'essays' like this. What is it, 30+ tweets in a row? This is such a horrible way to communicate. 240 characters at a time is is not a good way to write, let alone to try to read. I gue

First off, great concept! I would like to try this at least once. But second, is that really true? I’m actually curious. I can’t imagine watching a rented movie in a private residence would be considered a ‘public’ viewing. If that is the c

Anybody have an idea what the significance of the 7 seven day cutoff is? Can’t imagine this magic number does anything to improve security. Seems kind of arbitrary.

Thanks for pointing this out. Always had Android before, now I see.

Thanks for correcting my ignorance :) that makes more sense.

This just sounds like a great reason to not use Safari. I switched to iOS recently, but I’m a dedicated Firefox user, so I personally don’t touch it except when I’m forced to by other apps opening links. (I was honestly REALLY disappointed

I don’t know man. I’m sorry I don’t know the language, looks like Russian? Or something closely related? But based on the parent comment translation, and the translation on the issue page, I’m not sure we should be quick to condemn this per

Just thinking the same thing. Got A good laugh out of that! However, it seriously looks like this could be pretty useful. I’m lazy, and the idea of just writing some semantic markup and have it look great out of the box is very appealing. E

I used to think some of my peers were being overly cautious by purposely trying to obfuscate their online profile. Back in the day, I couldn’t care less about putting in effort to try to protect my online privacy. I have slowly but surely c

Yeah that makes sense. It does drive me crazy though, when I hear friends that have let themselves be consumed by fear or misunderstanding. It can unnecessarily affect their live in very negative ways. For example, my co-worker had a fallin

That’s a good point. I imagine many populations have large numbers of people with these ‘underlying conditions’, minor or not. Many folks are at high risk of severe reactions. I still think it’s important for people to understand that the o
