It's about looking after Schrodinger's daughter; similar to the above, she appears only if you prove she cannot be anywhere else.

I like this game a lot, especially how it's easy to understand & fun to play with.

I guess yes, i.e. live performances where gameboy audio output was connected to a PA system[1] (likely together with other instruments like drum machines or samplers).

I use a recent version of Safari and uBlock origin doesn't work there. I rely on Ka-Block![1], which blocks popular ad serving domains. For other annoyances like newsletter popups, etc., I use a "Kill sticky headers" script[2], with some hacks; I'll try to post my version of that script sometime soon.

It works good enough for my needs. I also have Firefox with uBlock installed, but with that earlier setup I end up still using Safari.

I tried opening it with desktop Safari, Firefox (both with content blockers) and Chromium (no content blockers), none worked. Is it down at the moment? Also: is there more context to read in the meantime? E.g. an announcement or blog that describes the project?

Pinterest pioneered it but today most of the popular platforms are doing some sort of login nagging, including Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Reddit, Quora, LinkedIn, etc. I'd say Twitter was an exception and this change doesn't surprise me, sadly.

Does uBlock Origin enable you to read threads?

Opening a thread and scrolling down results in a login prompt being shown; but simply removing the login prompt still doesn't let me load further tweets from that thread, at least not when I remove the login prompt manually (via web inspector).
