(the mathematical theory of communication has some claim to be one of the most significant books of the 20thC, and is surprisingly accessible throughout; though Shannon’s presentation of the theory is more mathematically dense, it’s not impenetrable.

that guy is a cheat! Today was my first 6/6 and I swear if that would have broken my 100% record I was ready to break down in tears. A truly pathetic state of affairs to be in but when you are already getting defeated by life, can't be losing at wordle as well.

total cheat. getting it in six is victory from the jaws of defeat and should be celebrated. i remember getting four letters at guess three and still being on a cliff edge at six. when i got it i was like “yaaaaarghh fuck you wordle, fuck you, i’m still the best. still the best” and went and punched a wall or something.

why are so many of the posts on my TL today from suggested topics? I don't want to follow any topics
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Monday, 7 February 2022 17:52 (two years ago) link
One annoying thing they should fix is how when someone posts a thread, as you're scrolling down the TL, you'll first see the whole thread, then some ways further down, you'll see the same thread again but minus the last post, then if you keep scrolling you'll see the same thread yet again but minus the last 2 posts, and so forth and so on.

Why is it so incredibly hard to find old tweets? For fuck’s sake Twitter I just want to search amongst my followers list to find a tweet from a couple weeks ago that mentioned ILM 2021 Tracks Poll winners Wet Leg.
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 11 February 2022 08:59 (two years ago) link
There is literally no way to do this. All the top minds are working on it but it's been proven impossible. Once that tweet drops off your screen it's gone forever.(I think you can fiddle with the search settings - but it still never finds what I'm looking for)
― kinder, Friday, 11 February 2022 09:15 (two years ago) link
I don't find this hard, except when it's something someone I follow has retweeted, and then it's pretty much impossible.
― Alba, Friday, 11 February 2022 11:06 (two years ago) link
Love how it sticks a large blue distracting button at the top of the screen saying "View latest tweets" when I am already doing precisely that.

Perhaps the biggest risk-calculation/moral dilemma of the war so far. A massive Russian convoy is abt 30 miles from Kyiv. The US/NATO could likely destroy it.

I understand at least the frustration that this is happening and feeling helpless to stop it, but cosplaying an 80s action film with C Thomas Howell to your Twitterbase is a pretty bad look.
I'm a pacifist and I want there to be some simple way to solve this but it's naive to think it exists.
