So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.
Github: https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.
FOSS monoliths can still be bad, see red hat hiding its source code
Wouldn’t hiding source code disqualify the OS portion of FOSS?
You’d think, but apparently they hadn’t taken into account that someone would sell GPL licensed software and then simply instruct their customers that they had the right to publish the source code while simultaneously reminding them that red hat had the right to reject their custom should they choose to exercise this right.
