I agree, calling it Twitter just gives the impression of denial that it’s now X, denial that it’s owned by Elon, denial that it’s now shit (it was shit before, worse now though), and feels like justification for continued use of it.

Just call it X in disgust, and move on to Mastodon or something

Oh awesome, I must’ve missed that. Thanks alot, I’ll have a look at that now

There is a lot of very confident, opposing answers here…

May I suggest Tracker Control, allows per-app network access and even restricts certain tracking requests. Only downside is it takes the VPN slot. Very much worth it though I believe

Yes

Ah yes, “hey instead of us tracking you, can you just save us the computation effort and just tell us what you’re into? We’ll still keep tracking you though.” And this is somehow a privacy FEATURE? Even though they clearly say they’ll be sharing thisvinfo with websites you visit? Boggles the mind

Sounds like you need to check out Org-roam (if you use emacs) or some other zettelkasten style note taking software

This was the answer, called up and got them to unblock ports 80 and 443 (they actually unblocked them all). Thanks alot!

Another lube, like krytox or whatever. I’m sure it’s not 100% optimal to have them mix but it’s probably fine

I always just lube over it as if there wasn’t lube there to begin with
