          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?

          Wtf stage do they think they are giving to SHELL?
