Twitter will discontinue offering free access to the Twitter API starting February 9 and will launch a paid version, the Elon Musk-owned microblogging website said as it looks for more avenues to monetize the platform.

TechCrunch titles do reflect their attitude towards Musk...

People with zero business sense always love to chime in. The fact is, people hate change. If it was once free but not now, people will not like that no matter who or what does it. The only reason Elon is being made out to be evil is because the fake media tells the gullible people to hate him now.
You seem to forget that Twitter is a company that was run on a bed of lies and losing money like crazy. He didn't buy it to make billions. He bought it for altruistic reasons. If the lies and sinking ship burns, so be it. Elon has already said in more than one interview he doesn't care about the money at all. Zippo. And yet, average people who don't know a 100th of what he does will still insult him when the TV they worship tells them it's time to hate something else.

It might be that you didn't write your message directly to me, but as it is an answer to me, I do take the content a bit personal.

My comment is just an observation about a very probable scenario. If people want to pay and continue using its API, perfect. He can do whatever he wants. I don't use it, so I don't give a crap about it.

I don't know him personally, but I know people who I respect that do know him, some colleagues and a couple of friends went to Berlin to work for him, only 3 are still there, the rest didn't like what they saw / had to experience and went away from "a damned toxic environment" (literal comment). So at least my opinion is not just for being gullible and reading media.

No I don't.
Jeremy Falcon wrote: He didn't buy it to make billions.
I don't care why he did it.
Jeremy Falcon wrote: He bought it for altruistic reasons.
Yeah, of course... That's why he is doing just the opposite than he said and banning people for not agreeing with him / critizicing him. You called me gullible, but you are being a bit naive if you really think that.
He said he would buy it for "ego" or because he spoke before really thinking about it, then backed up and at the end he bought it because he was forced by a court to do it.
Jeremy Falcon wrote: And yet, average people who don't know a 100th of what he does will still insult him when the TV they worship tells them it's time to hate something else.
It doesn't apply. I do respect what he has achieved, I just don't like his personality. About your "100th"... I am not sure if he really is THAT intelligent, and again... I don't care. IF he really is, good for him. I would not change me for him at any moment.
Additionally, as far as I know I have never insulted him. I might have made contextual jokes, yes. But I really think I didn't cross that line.

Same was said of Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, Bill Gate, Jeff Bozos, etc. and the list goes on. And I sure don't recall insults always flying off the handle about them. But since the media doesn't complain about their crap, it doesn't matter. #group_think

Yeah... ok... whatever.
Rest of your stuff I'm not gonna reply. Nothing really more to say that won't cross the political threshold. Some people are easily swayed, others are not. Genius is seldom understood and boy gee golly TV has shiny pictures and lights.

I just don't understand.
Why were they exploding the things? I really wouldn't want that to happen if I were in it in space. Shouldn't they be making sure it WOULDN'T explode?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

This was a NASA required stress test. NASA requires all man-rated space systems to withstand pressures far higher (something like 8 to 10 times higher) than the anticipated maximum stress.

With Android you can already avoid Google... if you can manage it and / or you trust the alternative stores.

Only Apple has this issue, since with Android you can either install APKs directly or give permissions to apps to install APKs, like F-Droid.
Also, if we're talking about malware, both Google and Apple themselves already spy on everything we do.

Cloud backup outfit finds that older HDDs fail more – who knew? Don't let your hard drives get old!
"This increase as a drive model ages follows the bathtub curve, whereby a typical drive can be expected to exhibit a rash of early failures, followed by a period when there are relatively few, followed by an uptick once more as all the drives approach the end of their lives and wear out." <-- curious. A "break-in period"?

The tool takes over the Visual Studio "File > New Project" setup process upon hitting the Create button, after which MAUI App Accelerator steps in with a wizard that lets developers point and click for options concerning .NET version (7 or 6), coding style (MVVM Toolkit, Code Behind, C# Markup), navigation style (Flyout, Tabs, Empty Shell, None), Pages/Views (multiple options) and other features such as MAUI Community Toolkit, AppCenter and several others. For those that miss the days of yore, when wizards roamed the land
