yeah mood. I only just realized I could be using nitter to bypass login a few days ago! and now this 😔 back to just saying "hey I can't see the thread you're linking to can you screenshot it or something" on discord all the time i guess

I've got to hand it to Elon Musk, I didn't appreciate what we had until he threw it away. Hate to say it, but Twitter, for all it's problems, was good.

Things which felt like institutions are dying before fast. Google Search, Twitter, Windows, etc. are all gone or hollowed.

Been thinking about the fact I'll probably live to see linux get replaced or die too. Honestly chilling to think.

A shame, without nitter if you don't have an account you cant view threads or comments, only the original post you were linked to, so this leaves users without accounts unable to see most of the site, and i'm sure as hell not making a new twitter account.

shame. though i did have a good time reading the off-topic comments on github arguing the merits of mastodon in shadow the hedgehog voice.

I think I was banned from Twitter for searching too hard. There's a couple of good guys with permaculture and social science effort threads there that I consulted a lot, but needed some search-fu to find. I think I failed the Turing test.

Reply to comment by hollyhoppet in microsoft's copilot (open an LLM helper) key might be the last straw to me going to linux by hollyhoppet

I want to say at least two years now. I used Ubuntu for >10 years before that, but I kept running into issues with snaps which drove me to Pop.

On the side, System76 (popos people) is making a new Rust-based "Cosmic" desktop to eventually replace the GNOME based one. If you've used cosmic-text in a Rust project, that is what it's from!
