*pops in, doesn’t like what he sees, but says* You know, if more people who set up Mastodon accounts as ‘landing pads’ in case of total failure of Twitter would start posting regularly on Mastodon, it would become a much more viable alternative for tennis or sports in general.

After nearly 22 hours, it’s hard to reach any conclusion other than this: Twitter intentionally killed third-party apps, without any advance notice to developers or users, and still hasn’t even acknowledged that they did it. 1/4 pcmag.com/news/third-party-t…

Twitter no longer resembles the site I signed up for. One of the best things about Twitter always was that it let you control whose tweets you saw, how your timeline(s) were organized, which app design and features you preferred, and how much data Twitter could gather… 3/4

…about your usage habits. Under Musk, the corporation has systematically sought to seize control of all of these aspects. That’s a dealbreaker for me. The fact he’s trying so hard to force people to use the official app makes me even more determined to refuse. 4/4 #OverAndOut

Lately, Republicans have largely stopped arguing about data proving climate change is occurring and causing damage, and instead started ignoring it (or sometimes, dismissively ridiculing it). Yet the data showing increasing global temperatures is clearer than ever. 1/2

Well, let’s check the NASA data, which does a better job measuring temperatures over the oceans. Oops, it looks even worse (via ArsTechnica arstechnica.com/science/2023…). Also, ICYMI, the data on global CO₂ concentrations is even clearer. 2/2

Third-party Twitter clients have been down for 7 hours now. A real stroke of genius, Elon. <whispers> Mastodon is working fine.

Gah. Kudermetova also withdraws, giving Bencic a walkover. No women’s semifinals today in Adelaide.

Down 0-3 in the 1st set, Davis starts timing the ball exquisitely and flirting with the lines off both wings. She wins the next 7 games and goes on to stun Blinkova, 63 63.

The Twitter API has been down for at least 3 hours now so I’m stuck using the web interface and… holy shit all the ads are for NFTs

I’ve been getting a “Could not authenticate you” error for about 20 minutes when I try to use my third-party Twitter app. And I’m definitely not the only one…

Badosa: "Yesterday when I was playing against Bia it was a very tough match, especially physical, so I felt a little bit in my abductor. I felt like I pulled it a little bit. "Today I feel a little bit worse. I have Australian Open ahead, and I hope I can recover for that."

Paula Badosa will not play the Adelaide semifinals. Daria Kasatkina into the final, awaits Bencic or Kudermetova. Paula, who had a good week, will drop 285 points and to #16 in the WTA Rankings.

I made easily legible, space-efficient pdf drawsheets for the Australian Open, since the tournament refuses to post pdfs on its website. You can find my drawsheets here, with qualifiers placed: fogmountaintennis.wordpress.…
