They prooooobably could have made the UI a smidge wider to accommodate longer usernames haha. From memory, my username hits the limit.

Gotta wait for my friends to hop on so we can celebrate 🙌 This'll be my first 99 ever. I started playing RuneScape back in 2004-ish. But this particular account was started in November last year. Pretty happy with the progress. I've never had a >100 combat account either. Very exciting 🎉

Shocking... </sarcasm> By adding the following code to the standard fastify-html benchmark, the requests per second go from 1.1k to 7.6k (on my 2021 M1 Pro). The cluster module has been stable in Node.js since September 2015. This is why I almost never trust when people say they "know" Node.js.
A screenshot of the added code:

if (cluster.isPrimary) {
  for (let i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
    cluster.fork()
  }
  cluster.on('exit', () => {
    cluster.fork()
  })
} else {
  const server = await main()
  await server.listen({ port: 3000 })
}A screenshot of the terminal showing the requests per second before and after the aforementioned additions to the code.

Before: 1138.82 requests/s
After: 7608.50 requests/s

Handy tip: If you mute 📌, then on popular posts where lots of people have “bookmarked” it - you’ll actually be able to see all the legitimate conversations happening in the reply section. And your own “bookmarks” still show up just fine 😇

This is as close to a beach I’ve been in years. I am particularly fond of this photo because the location is somewhere important to me and my family, and also because you can see my car poking in at the side 😅 It was the first car I ever owned, and it was by far my favourite!
A photo of a hill that overlooks the harbour, with some larger hills in the background. There is also two thirds of the back of an Audi TT poking in from one side.

I just experienced the bug again! So definitely not totally fixed. I could replicate it every time for some reason. It’s kinda hard to see what’s going on here but I’m just continuously dressing in from the left side of the screen (about the middle), ending my drag in about the center.

Quite a number of ‘Tech Twitter‘ people are not so happy about this Tweet from Guillermo Rauch.
Guillermo Rauch on X (formally Twitter):

Congrats President Trump 🇺🇸

Excited about the impact 𝕏, prediction markets, citizen journalism, podcasts, and the open web played in fostering democracy and a free media. It's a new world.

Try and spot where I rolled out the fix.
