me neither - probably best to check with as many people as possible though.

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

very amusing old man tech fail. if memory serves, standard operating procedure here is to continue to lie about it until the bitter end.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1662 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The front cover reads “BBC Under Attack: Pot and Kettle Special” and shows Broadcasting House with speech bubbles coming from the building. The quotes include “Donald Trump says we broadcast fake news!”, “Nigel Farage says we’re totally biased!”, “Boris Johnson says we’re liars!”, “The Daily Mail says we’re peddling conspiracy theories!”, “Kemi Badenoch highlights poor leadership!”, “The Daily Telegraph says we’re editing for political purposes!”, and “Liz Truss says we’ve done huge damage to the country!”

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).

i agree. except maybe in some dystopian deception scenario, AI is unlikely to even want to be a wee person. to think you have any certainty about what it will and won’t be though…not so sure about that.

A total and utter hero

for years i thought the hook for this was ‘don’t steal our rhymes’…still a banger, despite my cloth ears 😃
