This is what happens when you just turn systems off until you find out what breaks.

who is it that you follow? that sounds right up my alley

why would a raised character limit break the website? I only did a little programming in my time, but aren’t characters and strings really basic data types that take up astoundingly small amounts of memory? Is twitter’s web-ui that shitty that changing the character limit breaks the site?
Lmao is there any other billionare that’s just as failson as him?
