There is this German joke about “WLAN-Kabel” (WiFi-cable) ** that goes with #Neuland (Germans mocking about Internet and technology still being uncharted territory*).
Yes, they do!
There is [Wayback/Archive] IWLAN RCoax Cable | Industrial Wireless LAN | Siemens Global:

It looks like I missed that Google has added a new URL parameter to its search engine quite a while ago.
In the past, you could turn on image search using the tbm=isch URL parameter (“to be matched” and “image search”).
That still works, but there is a new parameter on the block that is officially undocumented, and can be used to switch into various search modes including image search but also AI-less search.
This drastically lowers the carbon footprint and also gets you far less speculative information.
Edit 20251023: I forgot to save the below part before the scheduled post got published. So here we go

Sometimes I need [Wayback/Archive] Redirect Checker | Check your Statuscode 301 vs 302 on the command-line, so cURL to the rescue: [Wayback/Archive] linux – Get final URL after curl is redirected – Stack Overflow. The relevant portions of answers and comments further below.
TL;DR:
Since I prefer verbose command-line arguments (you can find them at the [Wayback/Archive] curl – How To Use on-line man page) especially in scripts this HTTP GET request is what works with Twitter:
% curl --location --silent --output /dev/null --write-out "%{url_effective}\n" https://twitter.com/anyuser/status/20https://x.com/anyuser/status/20
This failed (twitter dislikes HTTP HEAD requests):
% curl --head --location --silent --output /dev/null --write-out "%{url_effective}\n" https://twitter.com/anyuser/status/20https://twitter.com/anyuser/status/20
Given so many of my scripts now run on zsh, I added the new-line because of command line – Why does a cURL request return a percent sign (%) with every request in ZSH? – Stack Overflow. You can strip that bit.
Note that these do not perform client side redirects, so they do not return the ultimate originating URL https://x.com/jack/status/20 (which was the first ever Tweet on what was back then called twttr) as Twitter on the client-side overwrites window.location.href with the final URL. Similar behaviour for getting the Twitter user handle of a Twitter user ID, more on Twitter tricks below.
Tweet by TweetID trick via [Wayback/Archive] Accessing a tweet using only its ID (and without the Twitter API) – Bram.us.

For my link archive:
twitter.com/search-advanced 🔍 All known queries: github.com/igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search“
tweeterid.com to get the user ID, and this url: twitter.com/i/connect_people?user_id=123 eg, for me: twitter.com/i/connect_people?user_id=495430242 Useful for finding similar users!”
zerowidthspace.me copy paste it somewhere in the TLD (.com) to stop twitter from parsing it as a link, like this: https://example.com/?foo=bar Useful to show url parameters, or tweet banned links.”
caiorss.github.io/bookmarklet-maker to make a browser bookmarklet that takes you to the original tweet: javascript:(function(){(m=>{m&&(window.location=m.slice(-1)[0])})(document.title.match(/(\bhttps?:\/\/t\.co\/[\w\-\.as]+)/g))})()“

One reason I still use Twitter is that it trumps keyboard shortcuts over other social media I use.

A while ago, I wrote two threads (one in English and one in Dutch) about using the Twitter Alt-badge to make pictures in tweets more accessible.
The English one had the correct quote, but a wrong link which I corrected below (we want editable tweets!).
Two bots that I mention in reply-Tweets usually helps to rudimentary restore the text:
@get_altText @AltTextUtil OCR
in the first Tweet and to the reply that @AltTextUtil gives, I respond with another
@get_altText
Here are the two threads:

This was fall 2022: [Wayback/Archive] Lists Memberships. Wondering what Twitter lists I am on by now.
Via: [Wayback/Archive] twopcharts_nl on Twitter: “Bij elk overzicht met lijstnamen, waarbij de meest recente lijsten boven en de oudste lijsten onder staan, van bekendere accounts, zie je de verharding van Twitter. Zo ook bij dit account van @BoswachterTim”

It’s almost
Goal of the current post amend the above posts with information so I can later write a bookmarklet or web-page with JavaScript that – from a x.com or twitter.com – tweet URL can get the JSON, then the images and/or videos in all sizes, then generate a web-page from it for Wayback Machine archival.
