Hmmm …
You’ve possibly realised I’m on Twitter: as well as Facebook, Mastodon, and Instagram.
So I tend to follow the news about it.
Hearing, last night, that Twitter’s owner, Elon Musk, had decided to limit users ability to read posts.
To 600 posts, for a standard user, and 6000 for a verified one.
That got modified, a few hours later: to 1000 and 10, 000, respectively.
Musk says “We were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users.”
Quite what that meant, I don’t know.
But others have suggested he’s trying to turn Twitter into a subscription service: and that this is the beginnings of the process.
I’m cynical enough to agree with them!

Just in case you’re wondering … ?
Yes: I have seen another episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds: episode three, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”.
I’ll tell you what: that’s one formidable piece of work!
