Dear followers,
Thank you for having followed me. After today, however, I will no longer be tweeting. I will no longer read or reply to my timeline, notifications, or DMs. I'm leaving Twitter permanently.
I'm not leaving the internet, though. You know how to reach me.

The previous President, kicked off Twitter, failed to build a huge audience for a new network of political propaganda, so the world's wealthiest person decided to just buy a preexisting huge audience.
But I can't be bought. I'm not part of the package. I won't participate.

I don't believe that staying and tweeting is "fighting back". I believe the opposite: tweeting and participating adds value to this platform, helps the new owners. I can't do it. I don't expect to single-handedly destroy Twitter, but it's a moral imperative for me to leave.

It appears that the Muskrat deleted his tweet, but that's not good enough.
He needs to issue a public retraction/correction, an apology, and a pledge to not do that again in the future, otherwise he's just a coward hoping that everyone will forget.

This is fake – I did *not* tweet out a link to The New York Times!Community noteElon is making a joke here. He did tweet a link to a site known to publish fake articles. He subsequently deleted the tweet.
The joke conflates this site with the New York Times.

Ok, that's it, I'm done.
Whatever it costs me financially, I have a moral obligation to leave Twitter and not provide anything of value to what has now become a site fully owned by extreme right-wing political activists.

We'll see what happens. If the Muskrat goes full bore with using Twitter for his own right-wing political activism, I may be forced to leave. I can't be a part of that.

This works to remove the System Preferences Dock badge!
It won't remove the badge from the preference pane, but you can actually hide the preference pane (which you can't do in System Settings).

@lapcatsoftware When it's in your Dock, change its <tile-data><dock-extra> to false in Dock's plist -- hides the badge, obviously not the checking, though.

It turns out that I have to block softwareupdated with Little Snitch to get rid of the Dock badge on System Preferences in Monterey, because it periodically checks in the background regardless of your preferences.

I just purchased @alfredapp the other day. It's pretty cool. I need to remember to use it, because I'm not in the habit yet.
A few things I like so far:
1) # to run a command in Terminal (I changed the prefix from >)
2) / to show a file browser
