Can someone quote the whole thing here? Not everyone has a twitter / X account.
I got tired of hearing that YC fired Sam, so here's what actually happened:
> People have been claiming YC fired Sam Altman.
> That's not true. Here's what actually happened.
> For several years he was running both YC and OpenAI,
> but when OpenAI announced that it was going to
> have a for-profit subsidiary and that Sam was going
> to be the CEO, we (specifically Jessica) told him
> that if he was going to work full-time on OpenAI,
> we should find someone else to run YC, and he
> agreed. If he'd said that he was going to find
> someone else to be CEO of OpenAI so that he could
> focus 100% on YC, we'd have been fine with that
> too. We didn't want him to leave, just to choose
> one or the other.
So, yeah, if people could stop assuming everybody can read X/Linkedin/Facebook, that would be nice…
Twitter is quickly becoming as bad as discord for siloing information.
No, you can't, Twitter is degenerating further:
Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot.
[Try Again]
/!\ Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com
The exception is that some accounts still require login to read. I'm not sure why but I'm guessing that it might be a per account setting that won't be set by accounts that haven't logged in for a long time (I don't have an acount to check). Actually, worble and ploum's comments below would explain what I see, I usually don't try to check the same content twice (or anything all that often) so I wouldn't notice if it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
The Firefox 126 preferences UI for the "Strict" setting shows this warning:
"Stronger protection, but may cause some sites or content to break."
When the panel for that setting is expanded, it shows an additional warning:
"Heads up! This setting may cause some websites to not display content or work correctly. If a site seems broken, you may want to turn off tracking protection for that site to load all content."
Presumably such problems are not unexpected or unheard of if two warnings are deemed necessary for that setting.
(I'm not a web person, so I'll save my speculation on what is breaking there, but Twitter is the only webpage I experience as broken. It is absolutely possible I mucked around with some setting 5 years ago and completely forgot about it. Or Twitter is doing weird things. Probably a combination of both.)
> Firefox blocks the following:
> Social media trackers
> Cross-site cookies in all windows
> Tracking content in all windows
> Cryptominers
> Known and suspected fingerprinters
All too often it's the latter, meaning anyone without an account can't see the content, meaning it has zero value. No way in hell am I creating an account. So the conclusion is twitter links are now useless.
