Netflix launches an ad-supported plan | Diverse Tech Geek

So long for now, Twitter

Apparently Musk is allowing Trump back on Twitter... which was my final straw for what I was willing to tolerate, even after Musk's chaos. Thus, for now, I'm signing off of Twitter, and will try to use Tumblr (as well as Mastodon, Instagram, and my blog) more.
