@freemo,
In TufteReport.cls,
just add a few %, like,

%\usepackage[sfdefault]{plex-sans} % Use IBM Plex Sans as the sans font and make it the default
%\usepackage{plex-serif} % Use IBM Plex Serif as the serif font
%\usepackage{plex-mono} % Use IBM Plex Mono as the mono font

and things compile well elsewhere
(after sorting out the BibTeX stuff)

Added benefit:
The font conforms to
the Potrzebie system of weights and measures.

I'm impressed that your CEO totally looks the part:

What's your company all about, anyhow?
World's best blow job?? 😈

@freemo Interested ... trying to participate in setting up a fediverse instance in the local club.

@freemo @barefootstache @khird @trinsec Thanks for volunteering to stand in front of the fan — when you can guarantee that lots of shit are going to hit it.

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: github.com/timhutton/twitter-a

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

Ironically, this is all brewing up because of the CEO behavior of one of the two apex predators of USAmerican CEOs, Elon Musk:
"Twitter, c'est moi."
The other apex predator CEO is Donald "You're fired!" Trump.

Eugen Rochko is CEO of Mastodon.
He explicitly writes that
“I will take a listing down if it risks endangering the reputation of Mastodon”
A lot of the problems in our world is attributable to the typical CEO attitude.
In the case of mastodon, Eugen Rochko's attitude is:
"Mastodon, c'est moi."

So by PROVING him wrong with IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE,
you destroy Eugen Rochko's reputation, and because in his mind, he IS mastodon, you endanger not only his reputation, but the reputation of mastodon, and you and your instance MUST be delisted.

Putt's Law of Insubordination applies here:
Rejection of management objectives is undesirable when you are wrong,
and unforgivable when you are right.

Gagron will double down on his mistaken decision precisely BECAUSE you PROVE him wrong, and you justifiedly put him on the spot for his wrong decision.

In addition, social media excommunication is based on the principle that any attempt at defending yourself is seen as admission of guilt.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, but here we go again.

@freemo It would be nice to have if you felt generous and made your LaTeX style file openly available

The biggest danger with moderators is that they might pursue a hidden agenda what to purge.
Most dangerous here are cases where a moderator "finds even the question distasteful":
youtu.be/reJAzTE980s?t=109

You can't really rule this out in advance; you can only put an appeals process against moderator overreach in place.
But in the end, the buck stops somewhere.
