Twitter gave me a whole ass push notification this morning to tell me about this important Coffee news ImageImage
I hate Twitter
It's really infuriating you can turn off push notifications about tweet notifications and topics— which I have, now— but you can't turn off the notifications *themselves*. They understand you might not care, they just don't care whether you care
I wonder if muting notifications from people who you don't follow will block the topics/recommendations notifications also or if those notifications are just ninja solid snake notifications that bypass all preferences Image

I've been thinking a lot about the precise sequence of these four news stories
Like should I just… say it out loud? It looks like Netflix tried to spend a lot of money to build a new audience segment in noxious Rogany shit, it didn't work and they only lost customers, and now because they're losing customers they're cancelling stuff I want to see.
Maybe I'm alone on this but if Netflix went away I'd be real sad. I feel like they're making the stuff I want— by which I mean they take more risks/explore more niches than anyone else, which means a lot of crap but also means the truly quirky stuff I love can be made at all

I have just noticed that Tidal does not have "Hesitation Marks". On a scan they have every *other* Nine Inch Nails album, including some relative esoterica like Still, but they left off Hesitation Marks.

So on the one hand they were right to do so, on the other hand that's weird
I just had this sudden urge to listen to "copy of a copy" is all
"Still" doesn't even have a halo number

Okay. So.

- I installed Rust for Windows via the rustup installer on the website.
- When I type "cargo.exe" in a CMD.COM prompt, it appears.
- But WSL Bash doesn't see it.
- Normally WSL can see anything in %PATH%. But Rust doesn't add itself to %PATH by default.
- There is an optional install option to add to %PATH%.
- But (see third image above) it turns out there is a *good reason* why Rust doesn't add itself to %PATH%.
- This raises a question: If rust doesn't add itself to %PATH%, *what does it do instead*? CMD finds it *somehow*.
- Could whatever trick normal DOS-prompt CMD.COM uses to find cargo.exe, rustc.exe etc and switch between different ones on a system be adapted to WSL, such that I could invoke cargo.exe etc and get the same executables the DOS window does?

Twitter tried to get everybody to switch to Home by enabling list-tab view for everyone and making Home a mandatory tab. Then they backed it out, but I'm seeing multiple people reporting they now see a feed which is *labeled* latest tweets but contains algorithmic/"Home" content
Hoping against hope this is a temporary bug
Sounds like a temporary bug

Today Twitter finally went live, as threatened, with a feature that lets people associate their Twitter avatar with an NFT (see @ TwitterBlue).

This sucks but has a silver lining: You can now *automatically* detect&block NFT users. There are currently 3 apps for this (see below)
I'm going to start with the best app I know of for this purpose: The AntsStyle NFT blocker app. All you have to do is give it account access and it will begin blocking NFT/cryptocurrency folk. It works with all versions of Twitter, even the mobile apps. antsstyle.com/nftcryptoblock…
The antsstyle blocker has a wide variety of options: It can fully block users, or just mute them. It can block ONLY on the Twitter-verified-NFT-avatar flag, or it can block on patterns like opensea links or a username ending in ".eth".

Just got a phone call about a suspicious transaction on my Coinbase account* and I'm just trying to figure out -which layer- of phishing scam we're on here

* I don't have a Coinbase account.
Like, the obvious conclusion is they're hoping I have a Coinbase account and I'll proceed to give the robocaller my Coinbase login info to find out more about the suspicious transaction. But it's POSSIBLE someone set up a sockpuppet Coinbase acct in my name to scam someone ELSE
...and then Coinbase correctly identified that this straw-woman account made for wash trades was behaving in an unusual fashion, and attempted out of legitimate concern to contact the real human it was created in the name of
