I didn't know X put articles behind a paywall? I haven't tried putting articles there before.

Anyhow, here's the same article:

https://www.digitalmars.com/articles/Cobvious.html

Fun fact: X's article formatter recognizes D code!

Haven't you noticed that the homepage does not include the X widget anymore ? It's been removed [1] exactly because of that, i.e the content is not public anymore.

[1]: https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/3714

I'm not sure what you are seeing, but perhaps it's just a login wall. I was able to read it; I'm logged in but have never paid for Twitter or X. X does tend to hide certain things (such as replies and replied-to tweets) if you're not logged in.

I'm already logged in, which I infer is why I didn't see a login wall. Anyhow, I also posted an alternate link.

it's not visible to nitter, which is annoying.

We'd always rather go with the more specific site anyhow so I've changed the URL to that from https://twitter.com/WalterBright/status/1878209651306803406. Thanks!

Try https://www.digitalmars.com/articles/Cobvious.html

Curious. I don't have an account, and I can read it.

Have a go at this => https://t.co/KXRE5XvuoP

I used the https://publish.twitter.com thing against the Xeet, then lifted the first HREF out of the embed goo.

Doesn't work, the t.co link gives me:

> This page is not supported. > Please visit the author’s profile on the latest version of X to view this content.

Worth a try.

Looks like a new feature. Articles don't render render on xcancel

Perhaps I could load the Javascript and also "login to X", but I'll instead forego reading this and pay attention to what others are writing about C.

Thank you.

Sorry to be off-topic, but I'm disappointed in this being on X, it even comes with an ad built-in. We should be doing better. Spinning up a single-site blog is easier than ever for technically-minded folks - the internet needs to become independent again.

I posted it originally on digitalmars.com, and nobody noticed it. I posted it today on X, and bang! I didn't even submit it to HackerNews.

I'll be using X more for articles in the future, but will also put them on the dlang.org and digitalmars.com sites.
