It's called Synth ID. It's a watermark that proves an image was generated by AI.

Re:Larry King has died on Saturday January 23, 2021 @11:32AM (#25883541)
Long and short of it: Ted Turner is the guy who created CNN, a very influential news source in the US. Many people consider CNN to be a "left-wing" news source, and in the clip King talks to Bill Clinton, a democratic politician, about Ted Turner "serving" Clinton after he was elected president.

The use of the word "serving" is the issue, as it sounds like a quid pro quo.

I believe this fix only applies if you have an old version of their service workers. I remember reading some esoteric nonsense about why it's the case. I agree with the user you replied to, it's absolutely absurd that doing this is the "fix."

You likely need to delete your service workers for Twitter and let it re-create them.
Linear works great on chrome for me, but trying to use it on Firefox, it's hopelessly broken. Clicking 80% of things does nothing.
The correct answer here: use the same editor in the entire suite, everywhere. Give the user a setting to decide if they want that editor to be WYSIWYG, or markdown.

In my personal opinion, Atlassian's rich text editor (or, seemingly, the 4-6 different one's you guys have built) is unforgivably terrible, so true markdown is the way to go if having both isn't an option.
