    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

        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I ever designed a twitter clone it would most definitely put some kind of qr code with a link to the post or at least an archived version of it in each post.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.

          But there is another problem regarding people deleting their tweets. Screenshots allow to preserve and archive that, since there is no way to preserve tweets automatically like reddit deleted comments or archive.org saving websites.

            That’s when you link an archived version. Pretty sure there’s plenty of twitter archive sites out there.

            Plus if that’s the case who’s to say it ever actually existed in the first place since theyre so easy to fake.

            Lemmy or at least some of the subs should make a rule against posting shots like this. There’s plenty of that shit on Reddit, and we all know how terrible that site is now.

              I have no idea, really. Tweets are usually too easy to distinguish, as far as faking them goes. And I am someone who knows all the reddit frontends, website archival sites, reddit comment archive sites, torrent sites, a serious amount of what goes on in darknets actively, twitter frontends and what not, and I do not know about twitter archival sites. Inform people about them if they exist, and they might thank you. Until then…
