If embeds are broken everywhere I guess I can turn strict mode on for firefox again, so that's nice.

So, do you think this is one of those bad decisions that elon will flip flop on in a couple of days or one of the ones he's going to stubbornly stick to, where are you putting your money?

third option: it's a decision made in a fit of babyman pique which, having been done, now can't be undone by the current skeleton crew, even as they poke fearfully at the load-bearing Windows Vista machines and Macbooks like they're volcano gods that demand appeasement

here's hoping

Just append "nitter.net" instead of "twitter.com" and it should still work. They don't do embeds, but you can still look at stuff thru there. I've been reposting some stuff on other places and will use nitter.net just to preserve the aspect and so that anything new twitter doesn't bleed to it.

Hmm, I will try to test this if I find an embedded twitter video soon, but did you remember that if the embed is of a reply to a video so that first is shown the original video tweet and under it the response, then only videos in the reply tweet will play but to play the quoted video you will have to go on site? That's how it worked to me before.

e: okay, see I can watch this embedded video by just clicking on it:

I used to that nearly 20 years ago, just have a bunch of small places I'd recommend, but amusingly I'd get the feedback that if people were looking at those, there wouldn't be much discussion about it.

He should 100 percent agree to the fight that was set up between him and Zuckerberg before he got his mom to tweet that he should chicken out.

The only thing funnier that could have happened other than Musk letting the fight happen and losing would be them compromising with something nonviolent and cringe like playing Street Fighter 6 or trying to roast each other in a rap battle.
