I really want to see a study on how active Twitter users vs non-users approach internet discourse.

Because I'm fully convinced Twitter has done irreparable damage to any kind of semi-charged internet discussions.

I just purchased a new display to replace the shitty TN panel my laptop has.
Thing is, the seller said "you can get any of these four models, depending on availability" and I assumed they would be equivalent.

Nope, just compatible. I can get one that does 100%, 95% or 66% sRGB.
I guess I just have to wish real hard it's the first one.

Given, all four possibilities are way better than the one I currently have, with actually reasonable viewing angles.

Shoulda bought it on AliExpress.
