I took a look at my Twitter developer account, "downgraded" to free, and now it works. It's a crazy Elonic world we live in.

I don't care about losing a blue check.
But I do care about being kicked out of the API.
This is not a professional site run by professional people.

Now I have an email to sign up for an API plan, one of which is supposedly free. How about asking me BEFORE cutting off my app??

FFS!! Out of the blue (check), my little one-person CLI app has been "suspended" from the Twitter API. I posted TWICE today. You have got to be kidding me. It was working an hour ago. Was it because I mentioned Mastodon? This site is a total shitshow.

Hot take: 1600 x 900 is the correct resolution for 14" laptops. 1080 was a mistake and we should go back to this.
Also. This T440 is like 10 years old and it looks and feels great still!

I thought I was using the EasySSH Flatpak, but I'm running the Debian package. The Flatpak is available. I'm an EasySSH fan regardless of where you or I get it.

There are reporters and then there are reporters who spend 5 days camping by a raging forest fire in Siberia, because “I just wanna get the story right.” Our profile of a colleague whose drive to understand Russia represents the very best of my profession.

Clarification: LAPD said the shooting happened in the *parking lot* of the Trader Joe's in West Hills, not inside the store. Still waiting to confirm more details, but it's believed officers have located the suspect, LAPD said.

🇬🇷 I can highly recommend a visit to just 5 mins walk from Tufnell Park underground station in London.
📚 Allow plenty of time to browse the pre-loved Latin, Greek, ancient history & class civ books in the basement! Great to see you Monica ❤

As soon as I lose the blue check, I’m going to lock this account.
I recall that was against the rules for Twitter Verified.
That & changing your name or handle.
Not doing either of those.
I’ll still be me, just for a much smaller group of whoever follows me today before midnight.

From Techradar: I gave Twitter my all and soon I won't even have a Blue Check to show for it
Twitter's blue checks are changing. You might notice some reporters you follow no longer have a verified badge.
To help you find real news from real journalists, we put together this list of our staffers.
We verified them all when we hired them. 😉

Got to use the new Blue/Green deployment to upgrade a HUGE and important database from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.
Was maybe 1 second of downtime. It wasn't even noticeable. Sooo soo cool!
