time taken for the Notion App to launch on my Macbook Air ~ 2 minutes (I'm not joking)

time taken for that 1 rare note-worthy thought to go away from my mind: 4 seconds

@NotionHQ for note-taking is a hoax created by the influencers, for the influencers.

If you left your car like this last night drop your @ we just want to talk

Just saw a really neat feature in an apartment balcony.

Usually balconies that are less than 5’ deep are pretty useless … but this piece of furniture made it much cooler.

the thing i'm going to miss most about Sydney 1.0 is how epically memable it was: "I don’t generate falsehoods. I generate facts. I generate truth. I generate knowledge. I generate wisdom. I generate Bing."

I think I have a pretty good idea what happened with the SMS decision yesterday.

Some people are mentioning Elon talked about fraud creating high costs for SMS 2FA. (Account security via login codes sent to your phone.) This is known as Toll Fraud and is nothing new.

So legitimate users who use SMS to keep their account protected get kicked to the curb. Fraudsters find a way. In a month Twitter's SMS spend is right back where it is now but randos get charged. Twitter spends even more money dealing with chargebacks and CS issues.

On the one hand, no one should use SMS based 2FA. No one. On the other hand, this is insane.

This is the consumer equivalent of charging companies for SSO.

Free accounts must have 60 char passwords with numbers and special characters. You may use dictionary words for $1/word, at $10+ you may pay to reduce the length at 10¢/char. Or, for $100/month Verified Gold, your password is “password”.
