Harry McCrackenEvernote, an app I once loved, has completely tumbled down a rabbit hole of dark-pattern pricing and become a hellscape.

@lonseidman The thing with this suspension of all these accounts no one has any idea what caused the suspension. I am using Twitter less these days. Currently using the website UI which is a PIA compared to 3rd party app I was using.
@lonseidman tell, most of these people were using 3rd party applications to access X. Although one affected person had indicated they had only used official apps.
Like YouTube Community strikes, no official explanation is forth coming, so the end users are left in the dark on what they actually did wrong.
A couple of hundred Twitter accounts got suspended late Wed evening. The reason was always the same:
-----------------------------------
Your account was detected by our systems and automatically suspended for violating the X Rules.
Specifically, for:
Violating our rules against inauthentic behaviors.
-----------------------------------
People appealed, then 24 hours later the accounts slowly had the suspensions lifted without any explanation via email. As far as I can (...)
@lonseidman Has your Twitter account been banned like a bunch of us tonight?
@harrymccracken I gave Evernote the heave ho years ago when they started stumbling. Appears that they never regained their tumbling
I t has been 9 months since I have been on here and it does not look like the Mastodon default web client has improved much. It is still lacking features that frustrated me 2 years ago. Glad to see the service is still around though.
BrianKrebsWe're learning more about the crack team at DOGE from DOGEwhisperer over at Bsky:

Specifically, about Christopher Stanley, former Senior Director for Security Engineering at X and Principal Security Engineer at SpaceX, now serves as a Musk aide at DOGE with a White House role.
"Also known as Unh0ly, enKrypt, or Reneg4d3—the former owner of Error33[.]net, a warez and hacking forum, and theC0re, a video game cheating community. His 2011 personal website r00tyou[.]com prominently featured the n-word on the front page."
"'Christopher’s (or enKrypt’s) biggest hacking claim to fame came in 2015 when he hacked LizardStresser, a DDoS tool affiliated with Lizard Squad. He provided the dumped database to Brian Krebs, which led to him and his family being targeted and doxxed by the group."
My reporting in 2015 didn't name Stanley as the source, but he outed himself by posting a video of the LizardStresser hack to his eNKrypt Youtube channel, and soon was targeted with swatting attacks.
