old-skool VICE was so abhorrent and wrong that, to this day, I am incredibly loathe to grant them any time whatsoever
― SHAUN (DJP), Friday, 24 January 2014 15:33 (ten years ago) link
theyve def reformed a lot for sure but still retain their core glib identity
― puple prijan (lag∞n), Friday, 24 January 2014 15:34 (ten years ago) link
and, you know, whatever they've grown into, they profit from their "edgy" past and reputation - it's totally fair that people would avoid them based on the exact same past and reputation.

That Vice thread reminds me that 10 years into reading ILX I still have absolutely no clue what rockism means.

Until yesterday I could restrict a Twitter search (on tweets, not Twitter names) to just people I was following. Now I can't. Wah!
― Alba, Thursday, 30 January 2014 05:07 (ten years ago) link
i can still do that but if they've taken that function away i will murder them, low-key the most helpful twitter thing there is
― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 January 2014 07:42 (ten years ago) link
It's still there, but on the left panel now.
― Murgatroid, Thursday, 30 January 2014 07:48 (ten years ago) link
Ah- got it. Thanks. Yet restrict to "top" tweets is still where it was before. Nice UX, guys.
― Alba, Thursday, 30 January 2014 09:54 (ten years ago) link
Anyone else getting all tweets, regardless of when they were originally posted as displaying as "now"?

i am not gonna look at the true detective thread rn due to hbo go meltdown but is there an app or page or plugin or something that will text-to-speech tweets in realtime so i can search twitter for say "hbo go down" and then my computer will recite the tweets as they are made in a soothing computer voice and i can run a bath and get in and slit my wrists and gently bleed out while i listen because if people on twitter are in any way a representative sample of contemporary us of a humanity i don't want anything to do with this world thx

this new profile
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:35 (ten years ago) link
the most prominent element is yr header photo which has like nothing to do with anything
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:36 (ten years ago) link
it really really really sucks
― waterbabies (waterface), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:37 (ten years ago) link
im not mad just disappointed like it doesnt make any sense
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:40 (ten years ago) link
likes column is p tite, but why no retweets column
Apt from a few maybe bots literally noone seems to like it, weird move
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:41 (ten years ago) link
Also abt two ppl I follow have even bothered to change their header pic to something that works
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:42 (ten years ago) link
the header is 2/5ths of my screen! at least here at work.
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:43 (ten years ago) link
i'm not mad either it just looks dumb
― waterbabies (waterface), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:47 (ten years ago) link
yeah its a really odd design decision to use prime above the fold screen space to display this image that has no relation to the core functionality of the app
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:49 (ten years ago) link
its really hard to follow threads
― waterbabies (waterface), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:49 (ten years ago) link
Maybe there's some level of internet monetisation that I just don't see but being this blatant abt aping Facebook and going against what ws working for them seems weird of Twitter

one thing i really like is that my profile picture actually seems to be of a good resolution
― markers, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:03 (ten years ago) link
also i like the whole thing
― markers, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:04 (ten years ago) link
Breaking: no one looks at twitter for the profile pics
― waterbabies (waterface), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:05 (ten years ago) link
i'm sure they'll take your opinion into account during their next design review
― markers, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:06 (ten years ago) link
no they won't! you're cuckoo!
― waterbabies (waterface), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:10 (ten years ago) link
that may or may not be true, but you don't know anything about technology
― markers, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:13 (ten years ago) link

the thing is twitters stuff isnt working that good recently, their adoption rate has slowed a lot, like instagram is about to pass it in users
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:30 (ten years ago) link
Did they roll out that change where if you're on a persons profile the font size of the tweet changes accordig to how many retweets and favs they had
That fucking sucked
― 龜, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:37 (ten years ago) link
whaaa? so if you go to Drake's page or whatever all the font would be 140px?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:38 (ten years ago) link
then you go to your grandma's profile and everything is in 2pt font
poor grandma can't even read her own profile at that point
Oh I didn't know that bt did just sign up to Instagram today, whoa

my grandmas were born in 1883 and 1901, a fact for which I envy them.
