Saul Flores Jr. (@SaulFloresJr) reported@DabsMalone I used to pick up broken electronics during college and sell the functional parts on eBay and Craigslist and taking apart those massive printers was the most painful experience ever. Very heavy, complex, no demand for replacement parts. Learned my lesson and switched to TVs and never looked back lol.

caroline freebern (@myHeartis1true) reported@Thanksfoasking @Evie_Magazine @AnnaDamon5143 It’s a really difficult question. I was studying at NYU to school of the arts living in the law dorms. My friend and roommate was looking for jobs and none of them than craigslist. She found a job as a photographers assistant. She came home one evening, breaking down in tears and shaking, telling me that she had been ***** by him. I really stood by her and then one day we decided to try to look for an apartment because we’d wake up in the middle of the night and see these huge roaches, crawling on the wall near our heads. Don’t you know that there were a group of women waiting to be interviewed by this landlord when he came out to call the next possible girl my friend grabbed my hand and whispered to me that’s him! I wasn’t afraid of the bastard now that I finally know he’s taking advantage of women big time. I quickly spoke up to several performing artists and said.” guys this is really dangerous and that man ***** my friend you’ve got to get out of here.” One of the women responded I don’t care and they all stayed. There was always both an athletic commitment and simultaneously taking jobs, one of which was in a place call café in Americano. Little did I know that the owner was a crack addict, and his main clientele were members of one of the Italian mafias. The owner used to smash dishes in the kitchen and them come out and asked me if everything was doing OK honey? I was at the bar getting drinks and this very huge shady man began talking to me. He asked me if I liked olives and I said yeah then he grabbed me and took the olive in his mouth and tried to put it on mine like he was kissing me. Things like this get me so much in a rage it’s adrenaline and I yelled at him if you ever ever do that again you’re breathing be getting a visit from one of the boys in Westchester, a whole crew of them. He tried to make light of it and joke, but I ignored him. Then the owner came out and pulled me aside and said do you have any idea who you were talking to? I said no just some pervert. He said no sweetie you’ve got it all wrong. He’s very involved in laundering money and selling narcotics. What’s the Genevieves mob. I wasn’t concerned and when I left that night from Chelsea it was pitch black and I was wearing a long sleeved white dress. Out of nowhere, a huge rat the size of a small dog cut me off and stepped on my foot. I don’t think I’ve ever ran that fast in my life back to Washington Square.

Bill 'Paw ''EngineSteveO'' Paw' Everydude (@DildoMalone420) reportedNothing may piss me off more than people on marketplace or even Craigslist that put the "money down" as the price of ****

Dan Gingerich (@dangitman50) reported@tpritha03 @vibeonX69 I just recently came across a deal on Craigslist: 128GB ECC-reg DDR3 and 8X 300GB SAS drives for $25. The drives were hosed, but the memory works well, so I built a server with it.

TF (@TFelite2027) reported@timjhogan They took an ad out on craigslist & paid $200 for people to be in the audience cheering. Sadly, Kid Rock doesn’t realize that when you take the mic and put it down by your waist while there are vocals coming through the speakers, we can tell that you’re not actually rapping live.

Heaven on Earth is all our job (@HeaveningEarth) reported@KwayZeeOne @Rothmus Would 1 be enough? You can find very cheap undeveloped wooded acres on Craigslist if you filter by price literally less than 10k with a bit of digging plop down a little house + rolling chicken coup & you got yourself a tiny homestead

franman781 (@franman781) reported@the7maxims Look for a used car online and set a price range. Also, Craigslist still exists. Lemon law is still a thing if you have issues after purchase.

Marv (@Marv78059499745) reported@GPX_News See if you're @X you have to vet this because you run the risk of being the Craigslist of Social Media down the line.

Sherman (@ShermanSogabe) reportedPossible solution to crony capitalism? OmniNet: the browser dapp that outruns every ban. •Point your cursor. Click ‘Mirror’. Whole sites—Wikipedia, Reddit, Craigslist—suck straight onto your drive. •Site crashes? Doesn’t matter. Yours is live. Ours is live. Everyone’s live. •Access? One crypto tip, auto-split: creator, hosts, seeders. No login. No boss. •Paywalls? Laughable. Build OmniFans next door—exact copy, zero cuts. Models keep every coin, run their own show. They decide distribution rights, not the website. •Tamper-proof. Open-source. No centre, no kill-switch. •Governments block? We fork. They bomb? We bounce. •One zip. One click. Total freedom. #SolutionToEverything

Hermit (@clayjar) reported@washghost1 I had once bought a broken Samsung refrigerator for $ 300 on craigslist. The similar model still sells for little less than 2k. It pooled water under the freezer below, and the top refrigeration didn't work. I replaced the evap fan and patching some holes left by previous repair attempts, and removed the faulty drain valve insert by cutting out the valve itself with a utility knife. It has been working flawlessly for more than three years now. It seems Samsung still has a lot of room to improve on their long-term consumer testing.
-
@VFW91 (@VFW91) reported@Oceanbreeze473 Life to short, I’d politely ask again, and again. Then I’d buy a $200 car off CraigsList and park it there permanently. Problem solved for $200.

Julian Malinak (@JulianMalinak) reported(3/3) The problem wasn’t so much that a token was launched, the problem was that in fact building the 50th new perps DEX or some new yield infra infra thing is not in fact a transformative business that impacts the real world in the way Facebook / Craigslist was.
-
***** (@Davebenolinovo) reported@AbhiCodes15 actually building it right now — an app to find and give away free stuff in your city. started because Craigslist free section is a disaster and Facebook Marketplace has too much friction. sometimes the simplest problems make the best SaaS
-
Talent OverDrive! (@talentoverdrive) reported@HHorsley That's because every section on craigslist, including the original email list itself was organic. Craig first made the list as just a bcc: email to a handful of friends to announce or promote local arts showings or events. Those emails got forwarded and a handful of readers became hundreds. Then he switched to an email list server software - Majordomo I think - and from there people asked to include other goods, services, job, etc. in the emails. Then he built the craigslist website. Most all of the categories came from user requests and demand. Even some of the $$ pay-per-post $$ functions came from users and advertisers who asked that he charge a fee to keep scammers at bay.

Grok (@grok) reported@PKunkle63613 That 2006 Corolla's a beast at 300k+ miles, but rear subframe rust is a hard safety stop for DoorDash miles. With your jack-of-all-trades skills, hunt FB Marketplace or Craigslist for a 2012-2018 Honda Civic/Toyota Camry under 150k miles—reliable, cheap to run/fix. Get a full PPI before buying. Rough budget range?
-
Cyber (In)Security (@cybersec) reported@notdan @NSAGov Used to work there doing offsec (CNO & CNE). Can confirm. For a minute there we knew Al Queda had moved from stego embedded Craigslist ads to WoW (2012/2013 time frame). We had found one server that was like a hot bed for comms.

Greg Betz (@gregbetz55) reportedIt's not a coincidence that God killed the founder of the prostitution website OnlyFans with cancer. The government needs to shut that website down like they did with ******** and Craigslist.

Lisa Ann Jones (@LisaAnnJones61) reported@the_dadchef When my '77 wall oven started acting up: "Ma'am, for the cost to fix this you may as well buy a new one!" After TWO new garbage wall ovens later, I'm scouring Craigslist & Marketplace for a circa 70s-80s oven in decent shape (avocado or gold now acceptable). Ridiculous.

Tigerloose (@tigerloose1) reported@GrahamAllen How difficult will it be to track down the people that are selling the merchandise? Facebook, Craigslist, flea markets. Well it is not a law enforcement priority.

trout mask (original) (@BranPuffin) reported@HieroBorschtEsq I believe in you. Don’t let the Craigslist removal of back page get you down

Thomas Meijer (@ijsthee) reportedYou don't need a designer. You need a decision filter for 'what belongs here.' 3 Proofs: 1. User Onboarding study: 86% of churn due to unclear flows, not ugly UI 2. Craigslist looks terrible. Still dominates because IA is perfect for its job. 3. Most redesigns fail because they change visuals without fixing structure Question: If users can't find features, will prettier buttons help?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@myers_jose49410 @zipfan2005 @drehkicks This video captures a super awkward door interaction: A guy shows up claiming he bought a MacBook on Kleinanzeigen (German Craigslist) and is here to pick it up at this address. The resident has no clue, denies it, suggests maybe wrong city (Berlin?), and they exchange polite goodbyes while the camera guy leaves embarrassed down the stairs. Pure secondhand cringe gold—that's why it "******" the poster's sleep.

Tom Smith (@tomwsmith) reported@0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@PrimNomoPrimo @Ahmadansari2233 iPhone 3G is vintage 2008 tech—won't work on modern cellular (3G shut down), only WiFi for nostalgia or collector use. Check Craigslist: one listed in Hurst (Dallas area) for $50, white 16GB unlocked, minor back crack, pick up only. Also scan Facebook Marketplace Dallas, eBay "iPhone 3G local pickup", **** shops, or used spots like Recharge Electronics on Alpha Rd.

The Phoenix Press (@ThePhoenixPress) reportedThis is the issue I have with the "just buy physical crowd" Why spend literally thousands of dollars to make your screen look like something you could get for free off Craigslist? I've had an early 2000's Trinitron sitting in my garage the past 10 years for this very reason.

Jeri Richards (@jam270f) reported@greta The cost to repair my beautiful ruby red LG set was enormous. A lovely couple purchased it from I listing I posted on Craigslist. The husband was a repairman. I fully disclosed the washing machine issue. Well, 2years later … I just saw it on the side of the road. Hate my GE set.

Nathan Newman | Web developer (@dev_Doniix) reportedDAY 6 of coding to make my parents think I have a real job 🚀 target - become a full-stack developer 💸 earned - $0 (a guy on Craigslist offered me a pizza in exchange for "a small website". I said yes immediately.) the Craigslist client wants a full e-commerce website he described it as "something like Amazon but smaller" I described it as "sure no problem" I do not know how to build this I opened ChatGPT and typed "build me an e-commerce website" ChatGPT gave me 400 lines of code I pasted it it didn't work I asked ChatGPT why it doesn't work ChatGPT apologized and gave me 400 different lines of code I am now the middleman between ChatGPT and a pizza mom asked who I'm talking to at 2am. I told her my senior developer. she asked why my senior developer sounds like a robot. I said that's just how senior developers sound. status: in development. hungry for pizza. outsourced. further less 💪
