Did anyone else start using twitter as a retreat from Instagram, only for it to grow on you and become your main app to scroll through garbage on?

We offered 5 people a Porsche 911 GT3 RS if they could get @WisprFlow to make a mistake

It's the fastest and most accurate AI voice dictation app that's 3x more accurate than ChatGPT, Claude, or Siri.

Today, we’re finally launching on Android. Download now: https://t.co/TJhnUhDSLv

As a part of the launch, we’re giving away 6 months of Wispr Flow Pro for free.

Like, retweet and comment ‘Wispr Flow’ to get it. Enjoy.

Level 0.5 of hell is reserved for slow walkers and groups of people who take up the entire width of the footpath with zero spatial awareness

@SanjanaLaddha It's gotta be moving, iirc it doesn't respond to static stuff. To feed it dead stuff you can put the fly in and gently massage the outsides shut (to mimic some motion) and it will shut. Best to feed it live or semi-live flies, that's what I did 🪰

@nikunj On 4) what's your top 3 recommendations (understand it can be interest-based but asking for books that you value)

And the tougher question - having read history, what's your highest conviction predictions for the future?

Why mad when rules of the game are being enforced? If the rule included "if offside by a toenail and the result is a historic sporting moment then the offside is excused" you've got a point. But that's not the rule so I don't get what the deal is

Modern Football in a nutshell. Denied one of the greatest FA Cup moments of all time by virtual lines literally one centimetre apart. It's dead. Absolutely HATE it.

@benfryc Basically this but make it a keyboard? Take my money 💸 (but also release non headache inducing promos pls)

@Publisethi On point 1: diminishing returns no? Laptop vs phone has a significant difference in form factor and convenience. Much lesser difference bw phone and pin

@bytebln @maxwendkos @saeed_vz It's a feature not a bug moment?

@F1 Should absolutely not be happening. You are responsible for your car, no second chances

Some people make you feel like you're not the same "human being" as they are. What a legend (and also goals)

Aleksander Doba kayaked solo across the Atlantic Ocean (5400 km, under his own power) three times, most recently in 2017 at age of 70. He died in 2021 while climbing Kilimanjaro. After reaching top asked for a two-minute break before posing for photo. He then sat down on a rock and "just fell asleep".

Been experimenting with/enjoying some geometric photography recently 📐

Side note: @Melbourne is stunning!

@di_shawarma @zomato He does mention "This will ensure that our red uniform delivery partners are not incorrectly associated with non-veg food, and blocked by any RWAS or societies during any special days... our riders' physical safety is of paramount importance to us."

[Ro @roshake06]

Surprisingly responsive to feedback, and loving the ego-less admission that it maybe wasn't the best idea 👏🏼

To those for whom this feels like a loss (i.e. people I uncharacteristically got into an unproductive twitter debate with), cry harder and maybe re-evaluate your opinions

Update on our pure veg fleet —

While we are going to continue to have a fleet for vegetarians, we have decided to remove the on-ground segregation of this fleet on the ground using the colour green. All our riders — both our regular fleet, and our fleet for vegetarians, will wear the colour red.

This means that the fleet meant for vegetarian orders will not be identifiable on the ground (but will show on the app that your veg orders will be served by the veg only fleet).

This will ensure that our red uniform delivery partners are not incorrectly associated with non-veg food, and blocked by any RWAs or societies during any special days… our riders’ physical safety is of paramount importance to us.

We now realise that even some of our customers could get into trouble with their landlords, and that would not be a nice thing if that happened because of us.

Thanks everyone for talking about this last night. You made us understand the unintended consequences of this rollout. All the love, and all the brickbats were all so useful - and helped us get to this optimal point.

We are always listening, without unnecessary ego, or pride. We look forward to continue serving you.

As always, one step forward, two steps back 🚶🏼‍♂️

@Kushagr142 Arbitrary lines cause societal divide, an issue that slightly affects our country in case you haven't noticed 🙂
You say "that won't materialize" because you know they sound ridiculous. Yet you fail to see the ridiculousness when it's a preference you're aligned with.
