@dystopiabreaker
our national security is threatened by the lack of encryption of individuals data. we need to make plaintext illegal to save the children and protect ourselves from drug smugglers and terrorists
@dystopiabreaker
we should ban plaintext
@mrled
I can tell you what I want here: for Facebook apps to encrypt chat messages so that the company cannot access them. It's always been vulnerable to subpoenas for the contents, and that's always been both bad an unnecessary. https://t.co/aWka1OhBnv

This 1px toggle. It’s not easy to see but its right margin here is non-standard too https://t.co/OCs9JmkoTW
@nikitonsky
That’s it for now. Will post more if I find more!
Hope you are as excited for everything to be rewritten in SwiftUI soon as I am!

For no reason, Game Center offers to change my “nikitonsky” nickname to “SuperAsp2403” or “SkinnyWarg3617”. Should I do it?
BTW nikitonsky on the right is a text input. Isn’t it obvious? https://t.co/QtWvtpJHDA
@nikitonsky
Here to enable Set... you need to turn on the toggle first, but the order is reversed https://t.co/XhRW2boN2j
@nikitonsky
Are they both buttons? One is dropdown? What’s going on? https://t.co/u0pmC0DTx9

This control almost died on me and I even didn’t select anything from it! https://t.co/AtNPQLG57P

It might not be obvious, but Wi-Fi here is not a window header, it’s a clickable list item just like TCP/IP and others https://t.co/1449CYBSIi

Here button text is 1.5 times smaller than it has to be (see Restart Now button in the background on the right for comparison) https://t.co/IXDsepVV1X

Alternatively, super-long ugly dropdown with text NOT jumping to the left. I’m not sure which one is worse https://t.co/IZKLsmx1Qh

Weird right-aligned dropdown with text jumping to the left when opened https://t.co/ZN7gt2TGVE

Those weird dropdowns? buttons? dropbuttons? https://t.co/FpH5rWUT0S

I just don’t understand what people want here. It’s a company. It was served with a warrant. It has no choice but to turn over the data. Be mad at the preschool and the judge and the law! https://t.co/v0716Ewo75

NEW: We've obtained court documents that show Facebook gave police a Nebraska teenager’s private chats about her abortion, then used those chats to seize her phone and computer. https://t.co/7pQT5ag4DH

Disturbing. I wanted to see a rendering of a malicious nebula, which should be a fantasy. But when I asked the AI for this, it just gave me regular pictures of nebulae, implying the very cosmic dust hates us. https://t.co/zcaSQVlqXM

Those who tire of life in our icy wasteland retreat to the Cozywarm, where meltwater nourishes a moss-forest, and even the stones are alive with a green inner flame. There, old magic euthanizes them

@waitbutwhy
A bunch of English words gained or lost a leading "n" due to a/an confusion.
e.g. "apron" was once "naperon"—but "a naperon" sounds like "an apron" so the n went away.
Others:
an oche > a notch
an ekename > a nickname
a noumpere > an umpire
a naranj > an orange
an ewt > a newt

July 23, 2011. Hausdorff-D2.5, the Fractal, is released as a vapour over major world cities in synchronized attacks. As it rains down, it coats every surface.
The attacks are planned by a radical religious collective known as The Branch.
Tens of millions fall to the Fractal. https://t.co/7LIfiNB380 https://t.co/XmA1Ajnpr5
