Why I left @twitter or rather why I did not sign up for “extremely hardcore” Twitter 2.0

This is @profgalloway at his best. Straightforward, fearless candor splashed with industry, tech and life wisdom. Highly recommend, he nails it in two minutes.

@snipd_app I love what you folks are doing! Alas, I can’t seem to add my self-hosted podcast feed to snipd. It works fine with other podcast players like overcast. Are there any specific podcast limits like file size?

[Shaun Koh @shaunkoh]

@TheUpAheadApp beautiful app! Is there a way to do the opposite of a count down though? Aka “days since”

[Shaun Koh @shaunkoh]

I can’t select text in PDFs with my external BT mouse in the iPadOS @PDFExpert3. Is this a bug?

@OvercastFM @marcoarment

Apple Watch app keeps crashing a few minutes into playback on watch.

Have restarted and reinstalled repeatedly, but no dice.

“Ukraine is maybe the most important place in the world right now, and the fate of freedom writ large really does hang on what happens in Ukraine,” says historian @TimothyDSnyder, who’s teaching an open class on the history of Ukraine at Yale.

I saw a lengthy article strongly suggesting that Long Covid and/or ME are "a psychological phenomenon" and the patients would benefit from exercise therapy.

A thread on why the first makes no sense, and why the second makes sense for a subset of LC, but *not* the ME-like folks.

[Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani]

It's time to update the list of introductory threads

1. By February 27, I concluded that Russia would lose this war. Russian army was overrated, Ukrainian - underrated, while Russian political goals misunderstood. They planned for 1968-style pacification

A plan how [not] to end the war: give Russia everything they want, and in exchange Ukraine gives Russia everything they want … hilarious recap in under 2 minutes by ⁦@colbertlateshow⁩ No wonder Kremlin welcomed this plan copycat

[Mark Hertling @MarkHertling]

After one of my @CNN appearances, one of the anchors asked me off-air why I had confidence in Ukraine's army to push back agains the illegal Russian military onslaught.

I used a bit of "battlefield math" to explain my rationale. 1/16

[Shaun Koh @shaunkoh]

Why my picture so big

[bernise @bernise]

This strategic foresight engagement is my first experience where not only was geopolitics front and centre for the country involved, but also where a war broke out in the middle of it. Talk about futures in the very real and visceral present https://t.co/ab2i9lxJlm

[Shaun Koh @shaunkoh]

That’s lower than I thought. But I imagine that Germany is likely the western country feeling the greatest economic shock from all the sanctions / energy disruption

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

⚡️Poll: 53% of Germans support sanctions against Russia despite sharp increase in energy prices.

According to a poll conducted by the German sociological institute Civey, another 42% of the respondents admitted that they are not ready to make the sacrifice on a personal level.

[Shaun Koh @shaunkoh]

So that’s the counter narrative that pro Russian folks are taking — they aren’t fighting Ukrainians, they’re fighting western troops directly

[David Patrikarakos @dpatrikarakos]

Two big themes from #Russia channels over the last few days. 1. Talk of 🇺🇦 Nazis of decreasing - instead it’s now about “shared past & history” of two nations. 2. They can’t accept they’re losing to Ukrainians - talk is about fighting a huge force of British & US soldiers.

[Shaun Koh @shaunkoh]

@matter any chance of iPadOS keyboard arrow key scrolling support anytime soon?

[Dr. Jordan Amaranth (they/them) @JordanAmaranth]

As a first-gen student, I've always known that other students with legacies in academia or family histories of college education have inherent advantages over me, but I don't think I've ever been able to see and understand that as clearly as today.

[Federico Viticci @viticci]

I finally went ahead and *disabled* Stage Manager on my iPad Pro. For now.

As much as I love using 3-4 apps at once, the implementation just isn't there yet. Crashes every few minutes; hard to use multi-window for the same app; UI glitches everywhere.

I hope Apple delays this.

[John Bull @garius]

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for an attack on an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.

As the attack developed, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:

A massacre.

He decided to act. /1 🧵

@CommandBrowser any chance of highlight syncing to @hypothes_is?

[Shaun Koh @shaunkoh]

@CommandBrowser also is this a UX dead-end?
