Yep, they closed down APIs, third party apps no longer work.
Edit: apparently separate issue Twitter is down after introducing 4k character limit.
Edit2: but apparently Facebook is down as well? Someone's cloud service failed I guess.

great performances from everyone too, especially the girl who plays young Kirsten - she's phenomenal.
Omg yes! Was gonna say the best child actor I've ever seen,
but looked her up and she was 19/20 y.o. at time of filming, still,great performance. -

Anyone here knows where and when I can watch the new Dr Who episodes with david tennant?
I think it'll be a while,
maybe Christmas special?Wiki says November, 3 episodes for the 60th anniversary special. Tennant will only be doctor briefly before Ncuti Gatwa takes over afaik. -

so what's the overall stance on Money Heist? I think I'm gonna dig in...
Fun, but overstays its welcome and very heavy abuse of cliffhangers. Honestly you're not missing much.

I really liked station eleven.
Although I feel I bit duped about every single online article describing this as science fiction.

Currently grinding camos on MWII and playing a couple warzone solos sparingly.

am I the only one that thinks that "glass onion" was atrocious? I really liked "knives out" though...
Pretentious, preachy and I don't think it'll age well either. Could've been fun if it got rid of all the fluff and made the mystery an actual mystery that made sense within what was observable.

Massification means the triumph of mediocrity

Finished the three body problem trilogy, I felt it's the da Vinci code of SF.

Read the three body problem.
Very disappoint, no idea what the hype is about.
I'll of course continue on to read the next part of the trilogy.

Better than 1 story-wise, felt the 3D was somehow worse than 1 but maybe I was expecting too much/not as easily impressed as before.
The whale hunting scene is amazing and makes you hate people so much.
Worth watching but as forgettable as the first.

Saw avatar 2. The 3D was disappointing seems like it stepped down a notch from the first one, or maybe I had to high expectations. Did something get worse in the 3D projection tech since the first one?
Story is bleh, too long. Has at least one fantastic scene. It's ok overall.

1899 is LOST but made by Europeans

Any technically folk that can shed some clue of Twitter is at an actual risk of going in flames.
Appears to me quite a simple service, if anything the challenge is keeping it smooth at scale.

It's honestly hilarious reading a bunch of people freak out about Twitter as if they're having an actual breakdown.
Twitter's a toxic shit hole whenever people try to use it as other than a feed for stuff you might be interested in from people you wanna know about. I miss when it was described as 'microblogging'
I always found it bizarre that Twitter became the default communication channel for orgs and brands alike (get a website ffs), and disgusting how people aimed to be influencers through it.
Charge them $100 for a freaking blue tick for all I care. Clout chasing should have a cost.
Elon is clearly not the genius he brands himself as being but if something, he seems to have a superhuman ability to acquire and capitalize leverage, all his success can be attributed to that.
Owning Twitter is not much different than owning a tv station or a news paper, if you can influence the message that comes out that gives you leverage. Leverage to get more subsidies, get more government contracts for rockets, you name it.

Inside man, suspenseful af but it would be a lot better if it didn't depend on the "let me explain" trope so heavily. Frustrating as it is suspenseful.

House of the dragon was great, shame that it's gonna take that long to get a new season, hopefully Warner doesn't implode before that or someone buys HBO out of that stupid CEO's hands.
Rings of power at least got me into watching Tolkien lore stuff but it's such a poor story.
the peripheral looks promising but it could devolve fast into genericness.

Everyone knows circles are not from earth, nother nature makes hexagons. Circles are shapes brought to our world by hyperdimensional beings.
32 minutes ago, trying to be less rude said:Honestly the thinking that the US would possibly do this is more like a James Bond plot then anything actual National Security Professionals would ever consider. No one wants World War III even the boogeyman the US
edit: actually Putin seems to like the idea of being in a war
The US has a history of profiteering from war as doctrine.
As long as it doesn't reach their land they're a-ok with war, selling weapons and financing reconstruction.

Ukraine has no interest in attacking pipelines of countries that potentially will send them a lot of weapons to help them defend against Russia.
Of course they do, they have an interest in removing any possible leverage Russia has over Europe.
Of course they don't have an interest in starting a conflict with their arms dealers hence why this would be done covertly.

ya think? who does this hurt the most? i know we have what biden said with the smug close lipped smile.. but seems like this hurts germany and EU the most as winter approaches. putin weaponizing the gas and an energy crisis to put pressure on them is something he's been doing.. but the pipeline "falling out a window" like one of his enemies.. i mean.. wtf. idk. i mean.. russia still has contracts for that gas and i think they get the money regardless of being able to deliver the gas or something.. so they get the money and EU doesn't get the gas?
it's gonna play out how it plays out. what a fucking time to be alive.
The prospect of Russia supplying Europe with cheap gas was the only thing that could motivate European countries to promote some sort of negotiation.
Now that's gone. it's not even on the table anymore. Russia can neither threaten to cut the supply anymore nor tempt them to alleviate their energy problems. Their top, if not only, card to play is just gone.
Who would be interested in this scenario? Number one ofc Ukraine since it ensures Europe has no incentive now to maybe push for a deal. Number 2 is the united states now they got a big buyer for their overpriced gas, plus the above, removing any sort of leverage Russia had over Europe.
Among these two who has the means to carry out such sabotage?

so, suspicions are that russia sabotaged this pipe.. and CIA warned germany that this was a possibility.
Huge Nord Stream gas leaks bubbling up Baltic Sea: Danish army
edit: link to story about CIA warning of pipe sabotage.
There's zero chance Russia was behind this.
