Okay new twitter crop rules just hit me on Android and my opinion is I would like a twitter app that is able to display more than one tweet on the screen at once. I'm now routinely finding single tweets that cannot fit on a screen
I'd say it's great that Twitter is finally taking steps against screenshot tweets by making tweets so big you can't screenshot them but I think this is probably just assuming everyone on earth has an iPhone 12 and there's no reason to ever let people control their own UI at all
Current serious plan is to just sideload an APK old enough it can't display "fleets"
I DEFINITELY notice that since the change my feed feels much more dominated by ads, since they usually contain images or videos

Twitter's talking about ORSON WELLES today so I want to talk about a lesser-known film of his I'm obsessed with, TOUCH OF EVIL

What to know about Touch of Evil is there are three versions:

1. 1958 "studio" cut (OK)
2. 1976 "restored" cut (AVOID)
3. 1998 "Murch" cut (VERY GOOD) Image
The 1958 version is the original theatrical release. The studio stepped in late, took the picture away from Welles, recut & rescored. And some of the changes were… good! Welles sent a detailed memo saying "I'll approve this version—IF" certain changes were made. (It was ignored)
The 1976 cut was, from what I have read, kind of a mistake. Sometime in the early 70s a workprint of "Touch of Evil" was found, and it wound up getting screened and released as the "restored" version. Unfortunately, it's just a workprint.

Okay so do I have this right: a file named CON is illegal, a file named COM1 is illegal, but COM is legal and that's why Java classpaths having directory structures like "com/oracle/swing" and therefore directories named "com" is not a problem? Image
Today in cursed knowledge: WSL will allow you to create and read back a file named "com1" on the NTFS partition, and Windows Explorer can see and interact with it in a basic way, but win32 apps such as Notepad will fail if they attempt to open it Image
If you attempt to *delete* the "com1" file from Windows Explorer, it announces it needs administrator privileges. I did not attempt to do this with administrator privileges in case it deletes a Windows global device handle or something similarly catastrophic Image

Me, from Houston, at the edge of the Influence Zone: Let's go to House of Pies
Does House of Pies even exist anymore. Are they going to survive the pandemic lockdown
Houston was not a good place or a place that treated me well but the psychogeology of its restaurants has imprinted on me forever. I have not set foot in the city in maybe 14 or 15 years.

Sometimes the government will just up and sue a statue, or sue a car or a suitcase full of cocaine. Like just go to a federal court and say "we want to file a lawsuit against this suitcase full of cocaine". This is just a fact of life. Never sure how many people are aware of that
I wandered into the kitchen and was like "does the Canadian government ever sue inanimate objects?" and my roommates were like I don't know so I went and looked it up and came back and was like "it turns out yes but the only inanimate objects you sue are boats"

I've started watching literally random anime. I found this one anime where the first two minutes were literally taken up by a fourth wall breaking Hot Take about "games should be fun and not make you worry too hard about real world issues!". Actually, it was decently argued Image
(If you have seen this anime please don't reply to tell me what happens in episode 8 or whatever. Content-warning me of actual left field CSA subplots is okay I guess)
Both of the last two video game isekai animes I've watched this way have had a main character whose first name was "Hiro". Okay. We get it. I get the joke.

A website I have been very happy with lately is calendly.com . It does exactly one thing and it does it extremely competently. Nothing about it makes me angry, scared, or miserable. I am aware of no evidence it is owned by nazis
It is rare enough to be noteworthy, lately, when a piece of software does not make me angry. It is difficult to say for sure if this is the fault of me or the fault of the software
The comment above about "not owned by nazis" was a reference to how often tech cos turn out to have awful founders. I looked it up and Calendly is founded by Tope Awotona, a Nigerian immigrant who appears to have overcome incredible legitimate personal hardship to get where he is
