SRP, one of the two major utility services in Phoenix does this as well

I don't put cases (or even screen protectors) on mine either (since 2015). I've dropped it many times, obviously, but I've only ever had the edges of the phone get the slightest nicks - which I prefer to having a case on it.

My wife and I are on the pixel 3 still as well. I hate the size of the 8, but that camera sure looks real nice...

Her pixel 3 is also starting to shutdown randomly which is concerning since our last phones were the bootlooping nexus 5x.

Yeah, both my Nexus and Pixel 1 had that issue. I lost 6 months photos and other data because of that. Now I continuously backup my entire phone to my file server when on my home wifi, and a whiff of a bootloop gets me rattled.

My current Pixel 3 has done something similar twice, but it's going good so far so

This was my experience as well. Not a single real inquiry, just spam. I asked the mods to delete my posts on those threads and the spam email vanished

hiring posts can be edited without timelimit. also i would put the email in the profile, then you can removed it from there any time easily. i also 'obscure the address as name at domain. never got spam despite posting many times.

I just got a lot of spam email until I asked the mods to delete my post and the spam vanished

Sounds fair to me

Did this cause any issues other than attempted conversions?

Definitely -- bullying, off the cuff insults, etc. However, that seemed pretty common for most inmates regardless of what they did.

My pixel3 doesn't do this

I have a (normal) pixel 3 and it does do it, but the UI is terrible and sometimes doesn't engage. And when it does the link shows up in what I found to be an awkward place.

I'm about 90% sure this used to work better on an older version of android.

The most awkward thing is that the link is like a tooltip: it fades away very quickly, so you often have to rescan the QR code.

My Pixel 3A does, interesting to see the difference

My Pixel 3a also scans QR codes.

Have you updated your camera app? When I point mine at a QR code of a URL a little bubble appears below it, which you can click on.

I've certainly never tried to stop it from updating. It's on version 8.4.600.440402475.27. When I point mine at a QR code absolutely nothing at all happens

I don't know if this is the same experience for you, but for a while I would just open the camera app without realizing I had to swipe over to Google Lens mode to have it detect QR codes.

I have an account and every time I hit that signup/in wall I just close the page rather than sign into my account

You can get a much better experience by using nitter[0]. Easiest way to do it is by replacing twitter.com with nitter.it (or some other nitter instance) in your link.

0: https://nitter.net/about

Nitter is so much better. It successfully loads every time, is faster, and has less junk.

Question is: why is it allowed, and will Musk continue to allow it.

I use it but it's slow at times. Other than that it's great.

It always loads much faster than Twitter for me. Maybe it depends on which instance you're using, if nitter.net is slow for you, the other popular instances I know of are nitter.42l.fr and nitter.kavin.rocks; these two have been around for some time and been stable, you can settle on whichever one is fastest for you.

+1, for anyone who doesn't stay signed in it's a "go away" signal - which is ironic because those people are more likely to sign in if they are allowed to read more.

On Android I use Fritter. You can even follow people and get notification without an account. Great for following news and feed type accounts that are only on Twitter.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

This is literally THE reason I don’t use twitter. Somehow my 2FA is associated with an old phone number and I’ve tried once or twice to fix but… bleh, at least let me read.

Someone told me a while ago that if you hit "log in" a close button appears in the top left, and you can close the dialog without signing in.
