> I built a fanless AMD desktop loosely inspired by Joshua Stein's (here is a pic of my setup, but I now use 3 displays: https://mobile.twitter.com/Salis/status/1490739423981486082)

Three stacked dialogs to dismiss (Sign in with Google, authorize notifications, and download the app), and then:

>You’re unable to view this Tweet because this account owner limits who can view their Tweets.

I am just about _this_ close to null-routing all of Twitter on my network. What fucking cancer.



You should do. Use a nitter instance to view anything public. No javascript required, except I think videos. Granted that wouldn't help with GP sending a private link.


Wow, speak of toxic and abrasive. Apologies for the missed etiquette, I will likely never do that again—I recently switched the account to private and simply did not realize it. Just wanted to share a workstation picture, but never mind: "toxic fucking cancer" seems the kind of attitude that drove me to limiting Twitter usage, but it's here.


I don't think we were directing that ire at you, although sharing a private link is not great, but at twitter. It is a site that shows you nothing if you don't have javascript allowed and when you do you can't scroll for more than a few replies before you get a "log in, now!" pop-up. That predates Musk's takeover BTW.

Therefore I suggest people wanting to read what's on the site use a better frontend to do so.


Got it, I use Nitter/Fritter extensively myself—I should have thought more about the way I wanted to share an image (still fairly new to being active on HN.)

Paradoxically, I thought it would have been better this way rather than sharing a personal website link, or an imgur upload.

I will be more mindful about what I am also annoyed by in the future :)


Call me old fashioned but a direct link to a jpeg file somewhere is always best.


People are furiously hunting for reasons to hate Twitter over the past few months, I wouldn't take it personally.
