Twitter Heavily Considering Removing ‘Tweet’ Button

@Tenshi3 Pretty much. Jumping ship to the other one isn’t really the same for what I want, annoyingly I do want to see content related to (liked/retweeted) and so learn, not just have their own stuff. But then I’m not even seeing good stuff related now, so it’s all a mess

[Mike @mikesb101]

@Tenshi3 I’ve also seen more content from low follower count folks that I personally know on that tab than on the “following” tab, so filtering/priority going on there too it seems. Perhaps to push to the For You again, or just a weird issue/effect I’m only just noticing 🤷

[Mike @mikesb101]

@Tenshi3 Pushing you to algorithmic content, showing you content purposefully outside of your network. More content = more time on site = more ads seen. Also more likely to expand your network, thus feeding this expanded content net so again more ToS + ads

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

if you want to get a sense of some of the impact of this change, just look at the quote tweets 💔

[michael busuttil @m_busuttil]

Netflix could have had an absolutely killer library of shows that built word of mouth and paid returns over a decade+, and instead they have one Stranger Things and two hundred single-season shows you’re never going to watch because you heard they got cancelled on a cliffhanger.

@jamgregory @Lupatria Also read the laundry files, great series.

[Mike @mikesb101]

@Lupatria @jamgregory I guess the actual tweet this is linked from gives more context 😄

@CaffeinatedDave Surely that is just “this will serve you between the hours of 8 and 9, other food needed later”

Also love the “cook time: medium”…feelers like the 🤷 emoji is missing from the end

Shouldn't Windows Subsystem for Linux have been called PengWin

Tip: It's powerful for senior engineers to admit when they don’t know something. You can learn from others who do. This normalizes admitting where you have knowledge gaps (but want to learn) and is healthy for teams to see.

[Mike @mikesb101]

@jamgregory Also arcane pricing. £12 from mhall to Leeds. Same train, £5 from shef instead 🤔

[Mike @mikesb101]

@jamgregory I have two days of teaching to give in Leeds over the next couple of weeks. Planning for getting there in the train I’m finding more stressful than the idea of delivering the teaching.
It really shouldn’t be that way around…
