      Translation: “Please someone invent some magic gizmo to undo global warming. We might even throw many monies at you. Just come up with any solution to the climate crisis that doesn’t involve burning less oil.”

              false alarm this time but probably a good idea overall - presumable felon tusk is going to start doing his best to kill nitter-type stuff some or other time

                relatedly: my heart yearns for the web of the late 00s to early 10s where you could write your own automatons that just did things

                2010~2014: “post this link for me and also make an archive of it and remind me to check up on it in 2 hours”? sure thing, here’s a yahoo pipes workflow

                2015+: you want to…use the “data”…? in… something else? I don’t understand. where do the ads go?

              They didn’t really backpedal. They are still taking the money but:

              We know that for some of you, running rounds where Shell is involved is not really the problem…but giving them a stage to amplify their voice is.

              Wtf stage do they think they are giving to SHELL?
