While many came up with memes and jokes on Warner’s subpar performance, others expressed disappointment over the orange army’s fourth loss of the season. Twitter erupted in celebrations as Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated Sunrise’s Hyderabad (SRH) in the first super over of IPL 2021 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. DC, opting to bat first, got off to a brilliant start owing to Prithvi Shaw (53) and Shikhar Dhawan (28). Despite suffering a batting collapse in the middle overs, the team managed to put up 159/4 at the end of the innings. Chasing, SRH struggled from the beginning, losing their main man David Warner (6) in the fourth over. However, it was Jonny Bairstow’s quickfire 38 and Kane Williamson’s excellent 51-ball 66 that helped the team level the scores. In the super over, SRH scored 7/0 through Warner and Williamson. In reply, DC’s  Pant and Dhawan easily scored the runs to take the win. Many took to Twitter expressing their delight as the match went down the wire, and into the super over. While many came up with memes and jokes on Warner’s subpar performance, others expressed disappointment over the orange army’s fourth loss of the season. Take a…

(Image courtesy: AFP)HighlightsMarlee Matlin was one of the presenters She was communicating through sign language Marlee Matlin had an interpreter on the sideNew Delhi: It's not the Oscars unless Twitter is annoyed by something, right? The 93rd Academy Awards ticked all the right boxes on diversity until it came to hearing-impaired actress Marlee Matlin who was one of the presenters this year. Ms Matlin, the only hearing-impaired performer to have won an acting Academy Award - for 1986 film Children Of A Lesser God - signed her speech with an interpreter onstage. The Oscar telecast, however, cut away from her mid-speech, earning the wrath of social media which has shredded the Academy for being "rude." Marlee Matlin, now 55, won the Oscar for Best Actress at the age of 21, the youngest ever winner in the category.Marlee Matlin's presence at the Oscars this year was particularly special because one of the films on the slate of nominees was Sound Of Metal, the story of a drummer losing his hearing. The two stars of the film, Riz Ahmed and Paul Raci, were nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.The poignancy of this…

In a book called Atomic Habits, author James Clear describes the process of habit formation as comprising four steps: a cue, a craving, a response and a reward. This is called the “habit loop”. Ultimately, we can create habits, and even become addicted to a behaviour, when our brain associates it (drinking, smoking, tweeting) with a pleasurable outcome. Too many people on Twitter are addicted to outrage. My hypothesis — not an original one at all — is that the likes and retweets received for piling on to the latest scandal engender a sense of belonging; this belonging, fostered by the mutual reinforcement of each other’s righteous indignation, is the reward.  Maybe. Whatever the reward, a reliable cue for a mass South African Twitter rage is the Democratic Alliance: John Steenhuisen, Natasha Mazzone and the queen, Helen Zille. The latter will surely have her turn again soon with the release of her new book, but at the beginning of this month it was former DA leader Tony Leon’s turn. By now you’re all probably aware of the whole saga but to recap: Leon made a comment in an interview with News24 about his latest book, Future Tense: Reflections On My…

Image: Brett Jordan On Friday afternoon, many Australian Twitter users were asking whether to trust an email asking people to confirm their accounts. The online consensus was fast coming to the conclusion it was all a scam -- a very good recreation of legitimate emails from Twitter -- when the social media network fessed up that it was responsible. "Some of you may have recently received an email to "confirm your Twitter account" that you weren't expecting. These were sent by mistake and we're sorry it happened," the company said on its support account "If you received one of these emails, you don't need to confirm your account and you can disregard the message." Last month, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said Australian businesses reported losing more than AU$14 million due to payment redirection or business email compromise scams to Scamwatch, with losses in 2021 set to be five times higher. In 2019, 25,000 phishing scams were reported to Scamwatch, with only 513 reported as resulting in financial loss, valued at AU$1.5 million. Nevertheless, phishing was the most popular scam method.

Photo: Bethany Clarke / Stringer (Getty Images)Twitter has a bunch of big problems, and most of them are easy to identify: free speech issues; rampant harassment on the platform; difficult-to-mitigate abuses by electeds and other officials in positions of power. Thankfully, on Wednesday Twitter announced that it had decided to fix the absolute least of those issues and would immediately begin allowing users to post higher-resolution images on mobile. As someone who also tackles my problems from smallest to largest only to get tired after the small stuff and call it a day without making any meaningful or substantial changes in my life, I have no choice but to stand in solidarity with Twitter’s strategy here.Effective Wednesday, all Twitter users will now have the option to post and view photos in 4K on iOS and Android. Although users could always view images at resolutions up to 4096 x 4096 on Twitter’s web app, the mobile version had previously limited resolution to a meager 2048 x 2048, making for a grainy, yucky viewing experience.The news about increased image resolution comes just over a month after Twitter announced that it was retooling the way users could share media on the platform, which included…
