A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Will this affect Google search? That’s got to be a good driver for Twitter right?
Maybe trying to get people that end up there after a search to sign up would be a better tactic.
Google is happy to link to news sites with a paywall, I don't see why they'd have an issue with a free signup.
I tried to set my browser user-agent to the Google Bot one and got a "Nothing to see here" page. :/
That’s how it used to be. Musk wanted to remove the login prompt after some browsing but they saw the conversion numbers on the feature and kept it.
I'm sure they give the content to the google bots, just not end users. So you see a teaser, click on it, then have to log in.
Screw that, I'm out!
