Important context: Microsoft has implemented arbitrary hardware requirements for Windows 11, leaving many machines unable to upgrade. In addition, they have patched bypasses that allowed "unsupported" machines to run the operating system normally. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/windows-11-requirements https://www.canalys.com/insights/end-of-windows-10-support-could-turn-240-million-pcs-into-e-waste https://www.tomshardware.com/software/operating-systems/microsoft-patches-tpm-20-bypass-to-prevent-windows-11-installs-on-pcs-with-unsupported-cpus

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1869427406676623605

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
