I agree, you don’t have to have a “career” but I think everyone would be more fulfilled with a thing they are passionate about. That could be anything, just some way of improving the world.
For real I love working on computers and its basically all I know but working for companies doing support or admin work is so soul crushingly terrible.
The only thing I hate more than working for some asshole is twitter screen shots
Why do you hate Twitter screenshots?
They’re completely unreliable without a link to the original tweet. I’m not gonna sift through thousands of tweets to find one from a screenshot just to verify its authentic. I’ve done that multiple times for shots of stuff that was genuinely interesting or that I just had to verify and its just a huge waste of time.
If I ever designed a twitter clone it would most definitely put some kind of qr code with a link to the post or at least an archived version of it in each post. I’m surprised I haven’t seen such a thing already after all these years of screenshotted text being posted as content.
I don’t see why you’d want to verify whether this specific tweet is authentic or not tho
I was not referring to this one in particular but the collective twitter screenshotting phenomenon.
It’s very easy to find a tweet, just type like 5 words from it and the account name into a search engine. I did that for this one and took the screenshot myself, since where I saw it it already had jpg compression artifacts.
Why not just link the tweet then? Saying its easy to find is moot since its a waste of time and effort for the most part. Also what if its an old tweet? We shouldn’t have to sift through peoples post history to verify it.
Is there something about screenshots of text make it more likely that someone will read it? If so were doomed as a society.
Yes, we are doomed as a society because of Twitter screenshots…
