It seems we’re getting more fun out of his site than he is.

and you know that's all he's concerned about. "Truth" in his bank account.

His face looks thinner, I wonder if he is losing weight.
He looks old.

I mostly ignore TFG, so I had no idea what this was about (and there's no link). So ... fyi from The Verge and others:

Trump’s social network has 30 days to stop breaking the rules of its software license

The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) says former President Donald Trump’s new social network violated a free and open-source software licensing agreement by ripping off decentralized social network Mastodon. The Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) has 30 days to comply with the terms of the license before its access is terminated — forcing it to rebuild the platform or face legal action.

Nice find. Note this paragraph:

Truth Social doesn’t comply with that license and, in fact, refers to its service as “proprietary.” Its developers apparently attempted to scrub references that would make the Mastodon connection clear — at one point listing a “sighting” of the Mastodon logo as a bug — but included direct references to Mastodon in the site’s underlying HTML alongside obvious visual similarities.


I'll bet his so-called developers won't even know how to do this and he will then be forced to pay some legitimate developers for a platform. However, since this is a scam, maybe he'll just take what he can for 30 days and then make up some story about why he can't continue.
