this post sucks.

Awesome to hear Bolsonaro lost - I hadn't checked the news on that yet.

And I wouldn't know about how badly that post sucked, because Twitter wouldn't show anything without being logged in and LOL at the idea of having a Twitter account, especially now that Musk owns it.

Use a nitter instance. There are addons that will redirect tweet links to nitter for you so you can avoid the site as much as possible.

I'll think about it but I also don't feel like I'm missing out on much. Same with when Youtube wants me to log in before viewing something, and I actually do have a Youtube account - I just almost never actually log into it.

I wrote this lovely script to automatically forward you from Twitter to nitter, which should show you tweets without an account:

code:

// ==UserScript==

// @namespace   Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match       https://twitter.com/*
// @grant       none

location.href = location.href.replace("twitter.com", "nitter.net");

i work for doordash and plan on doing this the day i quit

so i worked for doordash just before/at the start of the pandemic. before the panny, you were required to hand food to a live person, and not allowed to leave food unattended at doors whatsoever. if you could not connect to the customer to do a live hand-off - if they didn't come to the door/respond to phone calls in 5 mins - you were allowed leave and keep the food for yourself.

i had a friend also dashing who had that happen a few times and got dinner out of it - i was so jealous, i wanted free meals, but it never happened for me. then the pandemic forced them to allow 'contactless delivery' and that whole thing just disappeared. the first few times just leaving the food and walking away felt so loving weird after they'd been so intense in their dumb trainings about never ever leaving food in a random places/only doing live hand-off or you wouldn't get paid.

anyway i hope you get your free meal.

technically the trick to stealing food from doordash as a driver is never hitting the received button when you pick up the order from the restaurant, you just cancel your pickup and say it wasn't ready when you walk away with the food. that way the customer doesn't get hosed, the restaurant just has to remake the order and you get to either gently caress a small business owner or a big chain, both are good for the world

just don't expect to go back to that place again

There's a list of Nitter mirrors at https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances. Lots and lots and lots of them, which is handy if one gets rate limited.

By the way, you can also get an RSS feed for a user account via Nitter. Extremely helpful if you don't want a Twitter account but want to follow people.

I'm guessing you can put a standing offer on something, that will be valid even if it's passed between different owners. Once any owner accepts your offer, the transaction irreversibly autocompletes.

That seems really dumb if someone else can buy it for less than your standing offer.

I�m going off like decade‐old Bitcoin mock thread knowledge here, but I think the way it works is that it�s not an auction. They are each separate conditional transactions that advertized to the network and allowed to go through if the terms are met.

So he offered 100 ETX for a domain that he himself owned. He took no action to transfer the domain to himself.

The other guy offers 1.9 ETX. Our idiot does take action on this offer. The network processes this transaction because there�s a cryptographically signed offer to exchange <domain> for ETH, and the buyer�s entries in the ledger contain sufficient funds to cover it.

Our idiot continued to advertize his original offer of 100 ETH for the domain to the network, and it�s still a valid, signed offer, so when the other guy takes action on it, the network dutifully makes the exchange.

The best part is at the end, where he refunds the guy's purchase in hopes the guy will have a change of heart and also refund him for 50x as much. Bringing his losses to a round 100 eth instead of just 98.1
