Did he break the web access so I can't read embedded tweets without extreme difficulty anymore?
They appear hugely zoomed and with gigantic login buttons obscuring the text/image.

Have you tried adjusting the font size on that page to see if that makes a difference? On a Windows computer, hold down CTRL, then tap + to increase font size or - to decrease font size. In Safari on an iPad, tap the two A's on the URL bar and then tap the small A to reduce the font size or tap the large A to increase the font size.

I don't know about Keith, but that doesn't work for me. Oddly, I have issues here with fonts being large in some posts, but normally sized in others. It's not nearly the problem of people providing links to something I can't read.

The other day Twitter told me SMS authentication was going to be cut off and I'd lose access to my account if I didn't switch to Twitter Blue. Whatever.
I have notifications turned on for a handful of reporters. Recently I noticed I'm not getting any notifications although said reporters are tweeting constantly. That's broken. Is there anything getting rid of all that knowledge and guardrails hasn't broken?

(original: Business Insider)Elon Musk emailed Twitter staff at 2:30 a.m. telling them the 'office is not optional,' report says

Elon Musk reportedly emailed Twitter staff early on Wednesday to remind them about the company's remote-working policy.
- Elon Musk emailed Twitter staff Wednesday about remote working, Platformer's Zoë Schiffer tweeted.
The Twitter owner told them in an email sent at 2:30 a.m. that the "office is not optional."
Musk noted in the email that the office in San Francisco was half empty Tuesday, Schiffer tweeted.
Zoë Schiffer, a managing editor at Platformer, tweeted: "Elon Musk sent Twitter employees an email at 2:30am saying the 'office is not optional.'"
The Twitter owner said in his memo that the company's headquarters in San Francisco "was half empty yesterday," per Schiffer's tweet.
However, Musk has fired thousands of employees since taking control of the company in late October with the total now thought to be about 1,300, per CNBC.
Twitter didn't respond to a request for comment from Insider; the company laid off its communications team last week and its press office now automatically responds to emails with a poop emoji.

Shocking the fired employees aren't coming in to the office.

But Boss, literally everyone on the payroll, plus 35 outside contractors are here, right now.
We don't even have any of the indentured servants on their once a week 24 minute break today.
This is it, you fired most of the regulars and the human sacrifices wiped out all the interns. Actually, we ought to dump some of this office space.

There might be five or six people who join in the blocking effort.
In order to make a difference the effort probably needs 20 or 30 people to join in.
Ignoring the sarcasm, I'll just say that sometimes--quite a lot of the time--it's a good idea to do things on principle, and let the chips fall where they may.
I don't care much what other people do with or on Twitter. I care what I do, though, and I block all blue check subscribers. That works fine for me.

And then those people discovered that the alternatives were clunky, and not as desirable as twitter, so those same people have slunk back to twitter, hoping no one would notice.
Yes, it's a good idea to do things on principle.

Seems like it was only yesterday that they were crowing about that they were going to... publish the code online.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/26/tech ... -leak.htmlTwitter Says Parts of Its Source Code Were Leaked Online
The leak adds to the challenges facing the Elon Musk-owned company, which is trying to unmask the person responsible and any other people who downloaded the code.
Parts of Twitter’s source code, the underlying computer code on which the social network runs, were leaked online, according to a legal filing, a rare and major exposure of intellectual property as the company struggles to reduce technical issues and reverse its business fortunes under Elon Musk.
Twitter moved on Friday to have the leaked code taken down by sending a copyright infringement notice to GitHub, an online collaboration platform for software developers where the code was posted, according to the filing. GitHub complied and took down the code that day. It was unclear how long the leaked code had been online, but it appeared to have been public for at least several months.
Twitter also asked the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to order GitHub to identify the person who shared the code and any other individuals who downloaded it, according to the filing.
Twitter launched an investigation into the leak and executives handling the matter have surmised that whoever was responsible left the San Francisco-based company last year, two people briefed on the internal investigation said. Since Mr. Musk bought Twitter in October for $44 billion, about 75 percent of the company’s 7,500 employees have been laid off or resigned.
