good 'ol twitter is already spreading misinfo re: API pricing
That screenshot doing the rounds?
IT IS ***NOT*** the price list for the new paid API. it's for an *existing* paid API, specifically for full archive searches with big data limits. It has been around for YEARS. 🧵

Excellent news for the area :)

Brighton & Hove seems a better place today.
A Councillor who has repeatedly sowed division and stoked the culture war is standing down at the elections in May.
It's worth remembering that this Councillor currently has NINE complaints against them.

Just got one - it's.. actually quite interesting? But it keeps flinging itself away when I close it and it snaps shut..

Twitter's decision to charge for the basic API will mean that DIY projects like this one will be dead. This will affect thousands of Pi projects out there. Literally thousands. Make your voice heard!!

First day with my Bambu P1P.
Honestly, I should have bought a Prusa instead.
Not now - but when I got my first 3D printer. It was an absolute nightmare compared to the P1P.
I didn't know #3DPrinting could be so.. easy.

Well friends. I don't know what this will mean to rpilocator but like I have said many times, rpilocator is free and will always be free.

Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead

The P1P is an absolute beast. Such an incredible upgrade. This is it on standard speed. 🤯

Startling polling from @Unherd, on the eve of the 3rd anniversary of Brexit. In all 650 UK constituencies apart from three (all in Lincolnshire), more people now agree than disagree that Brexit was a mistake. Biggest movement in left leaning areas.

Wish people used forums, not discord. Or discord was publicly indexed. So much knowledge behind bars.

Truly grisly assessment for the UK economy from the IMF this morning.
- UK to fare worse than any other major economy this year
- worse even than Russia(!)
- Britain's downgrade came as most other countries saw their growth prospects upgraded

Wtf a Prusa MK3S+ is almost £1000?!

Alright #BambuLab P1P on the way. Once again ignoring everyone who told me to get a Prusa 🤩
Hopefully I'll finally find #3DPrinting fun, instead of massively frustrating. Sure I'll still find something to complain about though..

Designing functional prints in Fusion360 is so much more fun than dealing with all this BS.
Should have got a Prusa back then. But now Bambu seems to be much better.

Multiple prints were fine today, and now this. Had enough of #3DPrinting. Shit like this does my head in. It’s just not enjoyable. Almost a year of arsing about tweaking everything and still frequently get failed prints.
So I’m going to get a Bambu instead.

Printing some of the @zackfreedman Gridfinity system.
Little does my printer know, but when it inevitably next fucks up a print I'm replacing it with a @BambulabGlobal P1P.

Should have bought a Prusa originally. Yes, lots of people told me to do that. No, of course I didn't listen.

3. Enable the power of Quick Notes:
Go to Settings > Control Centre and add Quick Note
You can now add a note from everywhere by swiping down in the right corner and tapping the Quick Note button. It also saves the context, displaying the note if you visit an URL you've saved.
