Matters. things of Twitter order the : Hey on
-
Fucking Twitter has just shit out another breaking change. They
algorithmicallyrandomly order your tweets instead of seeing them in reverse chronological order. There's no option to turn this off.My timeline's become instantly unusable. Anyone who I follow who live tweets? Fucked. Instead of following something chronologically, it's now random.
Do I want to scroll back to try to find someone who posted a link to new content? Fucked. It might be at the top, it might be buried a hundred tweets down.
Do I want to scroll back to the spot where I was last reading my timeline, so I can scroll up and read things in order? Fucked. Maybe the last tweet I read is now on top, and a hundred tweets I haven't read are peppered throughout my timeline.
Of course, they've implemented so much UX bullshit that their jellypotatoes actually rival Discourse! Expand a tweet to read some replies/see an enlarged picture. Yay. Scroll down a dozen tweets-- then happen to randomly click somewhere on the screen. Oh wait, clicking on the screen now collapses every expanded tweet in your timeline, shifting everything all over the place.
Not to mention: scroll down a bunch, click on a picture to view it in a lightbox. Close the lightbox. The entire timeline jellypotatoes to a random spot.
Twitter, when you've become worse than Discourse, you've gone done fucked up real bad.

500 Ok?

For a while, yeah.

Great. Now the one thing I use twitter for (@RoboRosewater) is gonna be crappy as hell to read. Great...
-
Third party apps, man. Fuck their "you can only see the 'real' name, but can only respond with the username" shit

Just checked it, and it still looks chronological to me...

The sweetheart phase is over, the wife phase begins.
They want to change your habits. They want your money. Fun times strictly regimented. They don't care anymore about their appearance. If you want a divorce, there'll be hell to pay. They know you're stuck with them for good.
Also everything I know about marriage is from 50-ies era newspaper comics and soap operas.
-
I don't think this is a real thing. For one, you are the only person that's mentioned it, and for two, I haven't heard about it from anybody else. Maybe you're just drunk or something. Why would people be making fundamental changes to the way their product works this close to christmas anyway?
-
You mean they've become Facebook who pulls the same thing?
-
It might be the stupid "While you were away" thingy that cannot be turned off for good. You can close it but it will come back to haunt you.
-
Yeah, I just looked at my homepage and a couple feeds and everything looks in order.
I did, however, get this after going directly to twitter.com:
-
It's an a/b experiment with no opt-out.
Just the top 3 on my timeline right now:

The rest of the timeline is just as fucked up. Oh, and that top tweet that's SO IMPORTANT it must be at the top? That's someone I casually follow who retweets everything anyone asks him to retweet. So it's information I don't care about from someone I only casually follow, promoted to the top of my timeline above, say-- breaking local news, or traffic updates.
-
The tweet is originally from whenever, but it was retweeted more recently than 28m ago.

go google for "twitter non-chronological", you dumbfuck.

Google me an example that actually shows what you're talking about first

I sometimes worry about you but then I remember you're the main ingredient in candy floss. Or am I thinging about sugar. No that's @Lorne_Kates.They want to change your habits. They want your money.

Tweets did that for me on desktop, tweets and replies looked normal, mobile browser seems ok, don't have mobile app installed

Nice job here, Discourse:
<a href="https://www.google.ca/search?q=hungrier+is+a+dumbfuck">https://www.google.ca/search?q=learn+how+to+hover+over+a+link</a>
Hovering does nothing. Middle click ignores Lorne's href and opens the link as written.

That may be but you're surprisingly accurate.

The winter equinox. The days are shortest. The nights are longest. And Discourse bugs are at their fullest.
Filed under: You're in Australia? That's different.

The fuck I am. This just validates my decision years ago to stay away from that toxic double-hellstew.
I have an account. I post about once a year.

Not sure if intentional, but my pendantry cannot allow that stand uncorrected. And since it's Lorne, I'll throw in an extra helping of dickweedery, just for you.
Winter solstice, dumbass. If the days are short and the nights are long (or vice versa), it's not an equinox, which is when the days and nights are of equal length. Even an idiot should be able to remember that. Spring and autumn equinoxes; winter and summer solstices.

That you got right, at least.

Actually, the December solstice is around the period with the longest solar days, so the extra time allows for extra bugs...

Um, actually, it's a DISCOURSE equinox, you colon-sniffer.

Seriously, the only thing I use my account for is the live-tweeting of Caltrain status. (Ah, another one bites the dust. Late again...)

Obviously if it's good for Facebook, everyone has to jump on the train. Don't like it? STFU - <insert company> knows what you want better than you do.
-
Because I'm sure at least one person would like to know: https://twitter.com/search?q=timeline out of order
that's annoying, isn't it.
-
The timeline for my TDWTF account did the whole "While you away" thing which was in a different order.
Since refreshing the page though, it's all in the right order.

You guys should check out @Discopaedia. ;)

This thread just made me check Twitter again, found this from one of my favorite Twitter users:
-
Oh right. I should follow the Paedia too

The best part is when you dismiss it:
"Did you like this?" (Y/N)

*still shows up next time*

I do too. I post once a

I post to Facebook more than Twitter......
-
They're just asking for your opinion. Why do you think they'd actually take it into account?
-
So, both skype and twitter forgot how to sort things on the same week?

This post is deleted!

People use the Twitter site?
Even on desktop, I use the TweetDeck Chrome extension.
Filed under: TweetDeck doesn't do polls, but that's a useless feature anyway... right?

Well it's a bit difficult to find out,...

And what if you try 5 times? Maybe the number increases?

Ain't nobody got time for that.
