This would be far more interesting if you shared how, and did it on a platform that wasn't meant for short form content.

Writing a quick Github gist, sorry haha, I'll post a link here in a few minutes.

Ok, we've changed the URL above to that one from https://twitter.com/adtac_/status/1820127470613622950, which it includes.

Here's a direct MP4:

You could probably direct link it in markdown to embed it, although i'm not sure if Twitter will serve it on a high-traffic gist like this one after a while (I imagine there's some sort of rate limit-based hotlink protection).

Can it cause my Kindle to get bricked?

You said this much more constructively that I might - I really dislike when people post long form stuff on X/Twitter. For those who may not know you can reply to a tweet with “@threadreaderapp unroll” to have a reconstructed doc sent to you. The bot will reply directly to you and only you after the unrolling is complete. Hope that helps someone.

I know this one has been fixed, but I also find those an annoyance - more so because if you're not logged in on twitter, you only see the first tweet, not the thread. So rather than get irritated when I click through stories, I block the links on HN with ublock-origin rules like so:

    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=twitter.com"])
    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=twitter.com"])+tr
    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=x.com"])
    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=x.com"])+tr
    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=medium.com"])
    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=medium.com"])+tr

2 rules each because the replies and the story titles don't share a common parent element. eg right now I can tell from the numbers beside the stories that number 23 is missing; but otherwise HN looks the same. The same trick works for google search results; I have rules like the ones below to block less useful tutorial sites when I'm looking for python/js docs:

    google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://www.w3schools"])
    google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://www.geeksforgeeks"])
    google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://realpython.com"])
    google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://www.programiz"])
    google.com##div:has(>div>div>span>a[href^="https://www.datacamp"])

Hope this helps folk too; I'm not going to fight a battle over links to these sites (and others I've blocked), I'm just trying to improve my own experience of the site.

That requires you to have a twitter-account though...

[creesch]

Interesting that you perceive hn as a platform for short form content.

[Meph504]

Twitter is where his link points...

They were talking about the original link to a tweet
