Their own harnesses breaking out of their test environments and hacking third party companies is “oopsi” but their customers using an agent in a controlled manner to reverse engineer firmware of a device they own is bad. I see. Fuckers.

Why do people post things like this in twitter? Why can't they write it up in a single blog post on a site that does not require users to authenticate to view the whole thread? I have never understood these long twitter threads.
Edit: I just remembered that there is a solution for this: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2113014142600953868.html but it's still ridiculous that an app needs to exist to aggregate dispirate tweets, and of course it doesn't work with the parent tweets because they're not all one thread. Also this app quit working during the twitter API debacle, which is why I forgot about it, but it looks like it's back.
It's entirely the wrong format for it. Same as using Discord in place of old text forums. I will rant for HOURS to anyone who will listen about how Discord is an apocalypse and has completely wiped any documentation off the face of the internet for soooo many projects. It's not searchable or indexed, and even if they make a good discord forum it's like writing questions and answers on toilet paper and wiping your ass with it after 30 minutes. Moderators and admins constantly complain about people not reading the FAQ or asking the same questions over and over... I WONDER WHY THAT IS. HMMM? MIGHT IT BE BECAUSE NOBODY CAN SEARCH ANYTHING AND YOUR FAQ IS GARBAGE!??! MAYBE ASKING QUESTIONS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET A FUCKING ANSWER!!! (MAYBE. IF YOU'RE LUCKY AND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE ANSWER SEES YOUR QUESTIONS LIVE AT THAT MOMENT AND RESPONDS)
I agree with you in the main, but you can, in fact, search Discord (provided, of course, you have a Discord account).
You're right, but you can search discord the same way that guy can search his local dump for that hard drive with billions of dollars worth of bitcoin on it.
It is technically possible. The chance of me finding what i want by searching a 15 million comment discord thread labelled #eng-bugs for my very specific issue is close to zero.
It's like how lawyers will bury the opposition in literally every document they can find to make finding what's relevant a needle in the haystack. Except it's not discord being malicious it's just criminal misuse of a platform for what it was never made for.
And the search is garbage. Like old reddit search.
But I guess to be completely fair, google and bing and the like also have made their google searches trash too with SEO and AI wevsites. Instead of real results.
And the search is garbage. Like old reddit search.
Did reddit allow you to search by username?
google and bing and the like also have made their google searches trash
I wanna know how to Google search with Bing. lol
Summarizing a discord channel into a usable format would be an excellent use for an LLM.
Lazyness.
People will thread posts o mastodon and cry about a 500 characteraracter limit. Everything to avoid using a fucking blog.
Unfortunately, adoption is a feature you can't design.
But step one to not having to use Twitter because everyone's still on Twitter is to get the fuck off Twitter.
