In the app, HTTP responses were compressed, but requests weren't. Logs are highly compressible, so I wired up support to gzip HTTP requests, and tweaked our log ingestion server to handle these.

(That reduced mobile bandwidth consumption by ~40% iirc. It was absurd.)

Oh and app size... we fought tooth and nail to keep the app under 10MB. FB had the money to zero-rate for people in India to d/l a 100MB app, but we did not. We finally lost the 10MB battle when Twitter Video launched (iirc). After that, all discipline around app size was lost.

It’s been 24 hours and neither Rick Scott or Ron DeSantis have denied Trump’s allegation that he got FBI and US Attorneys to help ensure their victories in razor thin November, 2018 elections.

This is @Annie_Wu_22 - John Fetterman's Social Media Producer and the genius who has been embarrassing Dr. Oz online this year.

She is incredible and deserves our praise.

A man named Mark Jontz has just died in a jail cell in Omaha, Nebraska. He was thrown in jail because he could not pay $1,068 in fines and court costs from a traffic ticket.

there are now tens of thousands fewer journalists because of social media. i’m not tech-phobic but the story of social media is not (only) about tech but about the crushing of countless stable jobs (and the subsequent disinformation hellscape we live in) to profit very few people

but when people abandon twitter for mastadon, will they carry the traditions of their homeland into the salt bread of exile? Canine surprise? Jail for mother? homie what set you from? babadook adults drinking wine? the candles tweet.

i should mention that the MAD Magazine kid was based on a meme caricature called "Alfred E. Neuman" that began circulating in the late 19th century and early 20th advertising circles

if you wanted to know what the early 20th century wojak would look like, here he is

What's left of Twitter's trust and safety team took less than a minute to determine that "shut it Jew" does not violate whatever the rules are now.

Nah fr. Antisemitism is one of the oldest forms of white supremacy and y’all just eating that shit up

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

This is something. Illinois GOP is now texting voters mugshots of Black people to try to kill bail reform before it even goes into effect. These tactics should clarify for everyone that this manufactured “debate” isn’t really about policy.

It’s about caging more Black people.
