Relevant (deleted, as far as I can tell) tweet:

> When I talk to Philosophers on zoom my screen background is an exact replica of my actual background just so I can trick them into having a justified true belief that is not actually knowledge.

Funny comment, but it either fails JTB or is JTB: a) nobody thinks backgrounds on Zoom have to represent your actual background, eg. they don't think it's justified to assert this conclusion, and b) that the background corresponds 1:1 the real background means even if you had some other justification for thinking it was the background, the proposition is true so you would have a JTB.
