It is very "Franklins No Frills"

Highly recommend Rusty's markets if you have time/haven't already been there

I'm diaturbed that I could recognise that this is Cairns Esplanade just from the one photo

Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not 247 points by stillatit 10 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 200 comments Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link. I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation. Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after. [0] https://x.com/cjgbest/status/1985464687350485092 [1] https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1979994223224209709

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not.

They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly).

Sumo stars goofing about at tourist locations seems a more fun way to celebrate England than any number of flags.

I'm sorry I just caught up on things. I hope things steady for you

Spring is in the air

Probably wise

That place looked really familiar and I couldn't figure out why but I just remembered. There was a viral video of a paraglider coming in to land there and got attacked by a kangaroo

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

I could have really used it today rather than dwelling on and reliving the last few hours of my father's life

I assumed it was because my order required a box rather than a soft envelope

I should place another order. I haven't since I last placed a large order that.... disappeared

A gummy would probably have made both our afternoons a lot better 😆

I needed a bit of a reset after spending half the day dwelling in sadness

A busy afternoon

A black and white photo of my father in his 20s-30s lined up to board a ferry. Text to the bottom of the photo is Bergmann Amsterdam and below that are some illustrations of typical dutch things like windmills, ferries, plants, churches etc

It somehow feels like both a long time ago and yet recent that Dad died. It was five years ago today

@robcoco.bsky.social Happy birthday! Hope you're having a lovely day

Just so long as they are at an appropriate height. I'm sick of inadvertantly sticking my hand in them

Oh jeez. This is going to kick off even more

I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

Happy birthday Dad, you're missed every day
