Cool link, thanks. And I wondered if that was possible in Portuguese, there was a Portuguese example :)

I would guess that people who are addicted to it or whose job depends on it are not the majority of Twitter users. I agree that even out of those groups, there are not a lot of people deleting accounts and moving to other places. But, my pe

So crowdsourced black hat SEO indeed beat Google’s ”thousands of the most intelligent and well-paid engineers of the planet” .

It does default to “For you” when I change between accounts in the same app.

I understand the sentiment, and I might be naive, but I really do think the restriction is due to technical reasons. It is a purposefully slow go to market plan because the engineering team is small, the tech new, and they are not ready to

That is Mastodon for me. I saw a lot of people out of my tech bubble asking about and interested in joining BlueSky. Only that no one around me have invites. I signed to the waitlist the first I saw them on HN, still nothing.

I am one of those who prefer working on existing code. I like making things better, understanding how a code works is thrill, adding new features on existing premises. I am also an amateur fiction writer, and I notice the same thing in it.

What? No, I follow people tweeting in public. I almost never tweet, but when I do it’s public as well. To be honest I don’t know what you meant on your comment. Was it a mix of tautology with true Scotsman? You have to follow outraged peopl

That’s right. I avoid mainstream news completely (everywhere, not just on Twitter) for several years now

I still use and barely see any outrage on it. I am just selective with who I follow and stay in the feed where I mostly see tweets of who I follow. I agree with GP, it’s very easy to stay out of outrage sight.

That’s my guess. Or something on the “for you” tab

I guess a couple of well-run meetings would have prevented this disaster in the first place.

I am 100% sure that I didn’t load 300 tweets in the official app today. I was only accessing an account where I follow 17 people. I just counted and there were 14 new tweets (RTs counted as 2 tweets) in my feed from today (the average for a

I don’t think it’s intentional. I got a “rate limit exceeded” on the official mobile app while on an account where I follow only 17 people and don’t post anything. Edit: funny that I have two profiles logged in the same app. One is working,

Hot dog doesn’t sound tasty (curiously, in Brazil, we translated it literally from the term in English).

Warning: those are not technical books. IMO, certainly not the ”greatest” books either , but I thought it was worth sharing it because it provides a good sample of the current anti-tech zeitgeist (certainly more anti big tech and anti Sil

It doesn’t seem of minimal relevancy for the Brazilian government. I don’t see the connection at all. What’s your reasoning to consider that might be one?

Seems a very small if to me. Do you have any more context about being something the authorities would not like?

I meant Up is similar to Saving Private Ryan in its structure (a long and great first scene, which is actually a positive trait of both). But, the Up is worse than SPR.

As the person that you replied, I confirm your perception. And I liked your suggestion (to be point I decided to explicitly thank you, rather than a simple upvote). If I were to write the same comment now, I would definitely use “contrast t

I don’t think it’s the same thing. The initial scene is a masterpiece but if you remove it, it would still be possible to understand the movie. And the tone and message of the first scene is very different from the rest. I compare (negative

I don’t like to travel. I often say that I only want to travel when I have a purpose (study something, visit someone, etc). It does shock some people when I say I don’t like to travel, even when I complement that I don’t dislike either. The

I just self-published a sci-fi novel based on the idea of brain chips. It really feel like it’s out of the zeitgeist.
