Well, is that really a surprise? TOS of free services nowadays are designed to be bulletproof and whoever dares to challenge it is in for a financially draining

  Speaking of free services, while looking the tweet a logon prompt popped up after a scroll or two. Naturally I closed the tab, and now have even less of a reason to go to Twitter, but wth.

    That prompt has started to pop up much more in these days. Even just by opening the link. Well, I guess Twitter people are about to start growing in their own bubble.

      For now you could use a nitter instance - for example replace twitter.com with nitter.net, so this submission becomes https://nitter.net/pmzakrzewski/status/1494967388428804103 https://nitter.net/pmzakrzewski/status/1494967388428804103

  This isn’t the free service though? It’s for the Google Maps API which does have a cost? I remember trying to find some sort of point of interest API and having to quickly rule out Google after reading their terms. Stuff like “no caching” is somewhat painful. Other platforms allow caching from a few weeks to a few months, they don’t have the reach of Google but at least have fairer terms (I’m not trying to build a competing Maps product here!).
