... I am 100% certain that if they switched to being individually wrapped tomorrow, a complaint about excessive packaging would be one of the top posts here.

You're undeniably right. The best situation would be to not have any wrapping at all... but with the crumb situation, that'd be another top post here :/

That's not a very valid argument.

First and foremost, most devs probably see it as a job and they do what they're told. They don't have the power to refute decisions coming from above.

Second, in this economy where jobs are scarer than a needle in multiple haystacks, people are desperate to get a job.

Third, yes, there may be some Microsoft (M$) fan-people who end up being devs at M$. Sure, they may willingly implement the things upper management may request. However, I'm not sure whether that's true for most of the people who work at M$.

Your comment suggests to shift the blame to the devs who implement the features that upper management request for. Don't shoot the (MSN) messenger.

Looks cool and I'm glad something new has arrived after nitter.

A few things, however:

1. It doesn't look like I can view comments on tweets; I can only view the tweet. (Firefox mobile if that matters)
2. It's pretty slow. It's not a big problem, but it is very noticeable.
3. Somewhat irrelevant, but why is it called TWStalker? It's a... bit of a weird name. 'Stalker' makes me feel like I'm doing something illegal even though I definitely am not.

See Wendover Productions' most recent video, "The Increasing Reality of War in Space" (from around 7:54); they talk about SpaceX launching unknown satellites and not reporting it either.

Will you (the community) be setting your username to your public username (a username you use everywhere) or something that's different from your public username?

Idk why, but signal feels more... personal(?) and I'd hate for general people to stumble across my signal account just by guessing whether my signal username is my public username.

I'd be fine if they got my Discord account, mastodon account, Lemmy account (they're all different usernames anyway) because they're public-ish accounts. Signal feels less public and I'd want to go with a username that only I can send to people I know.

It looks like there will be a message requests area and it looks like usernames can also be changed (should a username ever be doxxed).

I'm still on the fence.
