Author, Do you really think Twitter's investors will accept taking a haircut and allow that company to go non profit ? That's a stupid assumption. Twitter has value, it is just over valuated right now.

lol, can someone write a generator that generates this kind of non sense ? This is the kind of bullshit statement that gets often upvoted on HN and I love it !

With neocons like Hillary Clinton who takes a lot of Saudi money anything is possible except bombing Saudi Arabia. And USA always needed a big bad enemy for fear mongering, Saddam, Bin Laden, Putin, US needs a "big baddy" to justify its insane military spendings.

Twitter is valuated $10B but it's hard to see Twitter selling for more than Yahoo. It's a tool that might be useful for a tiny part of internet users , marketers, journalists and drama kings/queens but frankly for most of us Twitter is useless, worse it is actually dangerous as it has ruined careers and was used to launch witch hunts or falsely accuse people of sexual crimes. I'm not touching that toxic platform with a ten foot pole.

Deluge is nice.

> it's smeared all over the application

How about writing libraries with clean API and encapsulation ? because basically your argument is "Our developers aren't disciplined enough to write clean API, so we need to force it with http calls ...".

It doesn't matter what you think. I advise anybody not to give a cent to that campaign until it is made clear whether the original artist supports it, or not.

Don't worry, it will happen eventually, the Cyberpunk era is upon us.

> I'd rather pay taxes to Apple, Tesla, and Google than the US government. At least they're competent.

Welcome to the Cyberpunk era, where nations are private entities ... I can't wait to play CD Project game by the way.

> It's attribution

Give me a break, this campaign is misleading, on purpose, in order to get some money.

> They don't need his blessing

They are putting his name everywhere in the campaign like he is involved or something. He is clearly not. That's misleading and can be potentially detrimental to the person's reputation if the campaign ends up being a scam.

Again they might have the right to use his assets, they don't have the right to use his name to get money from people like this. That's completely wrong.

Nice idea, I didn't find a good client on PC that does it.

But it shouldn't be up to you or your followers to sort the tweets, I don't understand why Twitter doesn't implement this basic feature. The hell it could be something done in the front-end with no server-side code involved at all.

It's not clear whether David is involved in this project. Nothing against it but if you're going to use someone else's assets make sure you get at least his blessing. The author of the campaign is NOT David Revoy but some unknown guy from Russia. I personnally would not give any money to this kind of project if the original author is not clearly involved, Creative Commons or not.

I wish Twitter really had a way to filter subscriptions by "channels". If you tweet about databases and I subscribe because you did, I don't want to get photos of your daughter's birthday, your wedding, your favorite gang-star rap music, or your opinion about Hillary or Trump. I ended up un-following a lot of prominent devs because of this.

If Twitter had a way to filter followed people messages by keyword or hashtag It would lead to a healthier environment on that platform. Unfortunately since Twitter basically locked access to its API, writing a fully featured client with that capability isn't even a viable alternative for the terrible UX ...
