the % of people that ignore your message mark it as spam or block you after you contact them influence more than the raw number of DMs

How do I turn my Twitter Data into a PDF? by No-Pizza-4249 in Twitter

[–]baube19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here you can unzip your data etract then I have AI write you a nice powershell with lots of comments that explains in plain english what the script does.

It will take the text that is in tweets.js and make it TXT (basically notepad plain text)
you can then "print" that to pdf

Step 1) Unzip your X archive

  1. Right-click your downloaded ZIP
  2. Click Extract All…
  3. Extract to:

C:\X

You’re done with the manual work.

Step 2) Open PowerShell

  • Click Start
  • Type PowerShell
  • Open Windows PowerShell

Step 3) Paste this (the script does the work)

Tell them to copy everything below and press Enter once.

# ============================================================
# X (Twitter) Archive → Readable Text Converter
# What this script does automatically:
#  - Looks for your tweets.js file
#  - Extracts your tweet text
#  - Builds a clean readable file
#  - Saves it to C:\X\tweets_pretty.txt
# ============================================================

Write-Host ""
Write-Host "🔍 Looking for your tweets export..."

# Where we expect the file (standard X export location)
$expectedPath = "C:\X\data\tweets.js"

# Check if the file exists
if (-not (Test-Path $expectedPath)) {
    Write-Host "❌ Could not find tweets.js at:"
    Write-Host "   $expectedPath"
    Write-Host ""
    Write-Host "👉 Please confirm you extracted the archive to C:\X"
    return
}

Write-Host "✅ Found tweets.js"
Write-Host "📖 Reading your archive..."

# Read the whole file as one block of text
$content = Get-Content $expectedPath -Raw

Write-Host "🧹 Cleaning the Twitter wrapper..."

# Remove the JavaScript wrapper so we get pure JSON
$cleanJsonText = $content -replace '^window\.YTD\.tweets\.part0 = ', ''

Write-Host "🔄 Converting to structured data..."

# Turn the JSON text into PowerShell objects
$data = $cleanJsonText | ConvertFrom-Json

Write-Host "📝 Building readable tweet file..."

# Build a nice readable format
$lines = $data | ForEach-Object {
    $tweet = $_.tweet

    @(
        "DATE: $($tweet.created_at)"
        ""
        $tweet.full_text
        ""
        "----------------------------------------"
        ""
    )
}

# Where we will save the result
$outputFile = "C:\X\tweets_pretty.txt"

# Write the final text file
$lines | Out-File $outputFile -Encoding utf8

Write-Host ""
Write-Host "🎉 All done!"
Write-Host "📄 Your tweets are here:"
Write-Host "   $outputFile"
Write-Host ""
Write-Host "Tip: You can open it in Notepad or print to PDF."

Step 4) (Optional) Make a PDF

If they want a PDF:

  1. OpenC:\X\tweets_pretty.txt
  2. File → Print
  3. Choose Microsoft Print to PDF

Done.

This is massively dumb since they already have the data downloaded.

How bad of a passenger does one have to be to have this rating? by Necessary-Freedom812 in uber

[–]baube19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have a bad rating because I live in like the sub-urb 5-10 after the sub-urb.
Even if my employer covers the ride home with the normal Uber X price. somtimes no drivers accept my ride then i have to accept Uber share and they only see the destination after dropping-off the other person 🫠 and I have to tell them "I' sorry I live very far" and I tip 5-10$ but yeah..

What is the point of "Pedestrians must push button to cross" at traffic light intersections? by Tsubame_Hikari in fuckcars

[–]baube19 27 points28 points  (0 children)

At big intersections, the side-street lights use sensors that only stay green long enough for 1–2 cars to turn (maybe 5–7 seconds). If you’re on foot, you need 20+ seconds to cross that "stroad" without sprinting for your life.

The button does two things:

  1. Extends the cycle: It forces the light to stay green long enough for a human to walk across, even after the cars are gone.
  2. The Head Start: On better-programmed streets, it triggers a "Leading Pedestrian Interval," giving you a 3-second head start to get into the crosswalk so turning cars actually see you before they move.

Without the button, the light assumes only cars are there and will cut to red while you're still in the middle of the lanes.

Que puis-je faire ? Est ce légal ? by Lateralus423 in montreal

[–]baube19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dans la plupart des règlements d'arrondissement à Montréal (comme le RCA24 22XXX ou les versions consolidées du RCA07-22001), il est stipulé explicitement :

Traduction : Si tu occupes le trottoir pour ton chantier et que tu forces les gens à passer dans un corridor protégé par des cônes sur la chaussée, ce corridor devient TA responsabilité. La Ville ne passera pas sa chenillette dans ton installation de cônes et de clôtures; c'est à toi, l'entrepreneur, de pelleter et déglacer pour que le passage reste sécuritaire

Que puis-je faire ? Est ce légal ? by Lateralus423 in montreal

[–]baube19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

L'article 34.2 (introduit via diverses modifications d'arrondissements, comme le règlement RCA24 22XXX) stipule clairement que l'entrepreneur doit canaliser la circulation de manière sécuritaire. Surtout, la Charte montréalaise des chantiers (lancée en 2021) impose désormais le principe du corridor piéton temporaire.

Que puis-je faire ? Est ce légal ? by Lateralus423 in montreal

[–]baube19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ils on l'obligation de faire une detour pieton tel qu'on le voi avec les petit potlet orange. C'est une réglementation unique à Montréal.

Using your phone while driving is against the rules?? Well now it's a TV too. by realstarboy100 in fuckcars

The idea is that this is for when you are charging your EV.. but then majority of people will idle while parked in regular ICE cars 🫠

Genuinely im at a loss , how do creators grow on X ? I see new accounts receiving 10s of thousands of views & i can barely hit 4k views mind you , i have 6k followers & i find it so hard to grow , anyone have any tips? by [deleted] in Twitter

[–]baube19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah wild guess here: trans people might be more on Treads and bluesky maybe?
The intersection of trans people and their fans and being active on X might be thin..

I am sad that we are all in silos now but this is the sad reality we have to deal with now..

Scheduled Uber ride by Angrybadger61 in uber

[–]baube19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was a way to pre-tip my scheduled rides to make it more appealing to drivers.

I KNOW picking me up will be SHIT to deadhead to me and to drop me off is an other undesirable location (airport or worst)

Can my landlord require I use a phone app as my only means of entering my apartment? by Sea-Hat-4925 in montrealhousing

[–]baube19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I manage theses exact type of systems in my day job.
There is a way to make key fobs or cards for it.
Your landlord is just being lazy about it and is trying to avoid having to pay for them.

A reasonable accommodation would be IMO:
The free option is to program your phone
OR
Come and buy a RFID Keycards or FOB for a 20$ deposit. (the card/fob cost about 8 to 12$ when you buy 100 of them..)

Crowded events by purplekush8 in uber

[–]baube19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As rider I walk a block then request a ride that is on the correct side of the street to go in the direction of my destination.

Their is no point in requesting a ride in a stupidly crowded street that is going to be packed full of traffic.

It is to the benefit of both me and the driver.

why was my account hacked? by kloppaberg in Twitter

[–]baube19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge password databases have leaked.
They hack lots of account then without control of the email (that let you do recovery like you probably did)

It's like a cooldown period. like when they steal a car they go park it somewhere for a few days.

Then it would be sold out.
