Deny access to contacts and push notifications, use DNS based ad blocker should take care of those problems.

Are people actually typing thought provoking, in-depth analysis into Twitter?


The moment you want to upload a simple screenshot, they will demand access to all your files. That's how today's OS security works.


latest versions of iOS is actually pretty good about this, at least for Facebook Messenger. It will let you choose specific photos to upload, and the app can only read those. And afterwards you can even revoke those permissions.


Not on iOS you can limit access to specific photos for a while now.


There actually is high quality content in Twitter threads. Of course most content on Twitter isn't high quality though.


Twitter is full of interesting niche people talking about their favorite subjects. For example, there is no better way to follow the war in Ukraine.


Based on reading the Institute for the Study of War's daily updates, I got the impression that they rely a lot more on Telegram. E.g. the most recent post https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offens... has 90 t.me links and 22 twitter.com links.

Since for the ISW folks, following the war in Ukraine is kind of their job, I think that's a pretty good approximation of the two platforms' relative importance in that area.


The ISW folks maps tend to not really reflect reality so well.

Every time someone lands troops somewhere they mark it as a territory gain, even if the area is still ‘disputed’.

It’s deeply annoying - small thrusts and retreats or probing attacks by either side get marked as territory gains/losses, which is entirely inaccurate and usually the situation has changed by the time ISW posts it.


It’s £11.99/month if you subscribe via the website, instead of an iOS subscription.


I actually switched away from Apple Music when I subscribed to YouTube premium, so it’s only really cost me £2 extra per month.

YouTube music is definitely not as good as Apple Music (or Spotify) but it’s acceptable for the combined cost.


Motion One is the non-react version of Framer Motion.

Looks pretty similar to the font used on the Tyne and Wear Metro[0], though I have heard the metro's signage is made up of hand-me-downs from the tube anyway.

I have the same problem with react native.


I stopped supporting an open source React Native library because keeping the sample code working in Expo was taking too much of my time.

This was years ago, maybe things have calmed down since then, but Expo always felt like hanging onto the horns of a bull, so long as you didn't fall off it was a fun ride!


That's similar to my experience. Not just React but across JS in general. Was super hard to keep everything at pace when it was and is moving so fast. I slightly envy the old COBOL people sometimes...


I think it depends how good you need the translation to be.

I’d say current automation is ‘good enough’ for most cases, but you wouldn’t rely on it for translating a contract and it would probably still miss a lot of slang and local dialects.


Agreed. I’d like to have seen Apple use some of their massive cash warchest to subsidise the platform until it’s on its feet.


Seems like it’s already on its feet.


So is this just a problem with the US banking system, or are banks in other regions failing too?


Credit Suisse failed recently too


Yes, I got hooked on /r/all and I ended up adding reddit to my nextdns ban list to force a total break.

Haven't missed it, it was a real time sink with very little positive return.
