It's worth noting that the saved pages are the only thing that are back for now. Their other services have not yet been brought back online.

This might be one of Twitter's automatic security features I'd heard about a while back (prior to the Musk takeover). Supposedly, Twitter stops accounts from getting a large amount of followers in a short amount of time to try to limit botting. Sometimes, rarely, it can trigger when a large amount of real people follow a real account.

I think I heard about it when I ran into the issue myself, but I don't remember what account it was that I was trying to follow.

FYI, there was no "conversation so far". That was the first thing I've ever asked "Rufus".

I was very confused by the headline. I legitimately could not understand what it was saying. Then I saw the website.

I'm honestly pretty shocked they even let it go public domain at all.

Yeah, the Kindle app pretty blatantly tells you why they removed in-app purchases.

How much you wanna bet your info will still be used for ads even if you subscribe?

I feel like this image applies.

Reminds me of that song, "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin. That's sort of what the song is about.

The dad never has time for his kid because he's working all the time. But the kid wanted to be just like his dad.

And so the kid, when he's grown up, ends up never having time for his dad. He's grown up to be just like his dad.

I feel like this might be a good time to plug the IRS Free File Program. It's a program that allows lower-income people to file their tax returns for free. While the program has been gutted in recent years by companies like Intuit leaving the program to either stop offering their services for free or to start offering a "free" alternative, it's still viable. I used it last year to file my taxes.

I mean, scientifically speaking, they're not wrong. Physical contact with another person causes trust to grow because it causes oxytocin secretion.

But it's still funny that the owner of a video calling company is telling people to go back to the office.

Probably wait until the adblockers update their filters to block YouTube's attempt to block the adblockers. Twitch tried to do the same thing, and now there's add-ons specifically designed to block that purple banner.
