I got a Twitter alert to the attached. I clicked on the message and ended up on a website in Safari but closed it at once in case it was a scam.

HI Alwyn,

OS X Daily is a very well respected site. If you go into Safari and type OS X Daily

I entered the site this way just now and this is what I saw:

Just the same as you. I did this to reassure you that this is a legitimate site and, it does not surprise me that it has some representation on Twitter. (I don't subscribe to Twitter)

Seems perfectly legitimate tips which I use frequently when using the macOS CLI.

I can echo what everyone else has said, it is a legitimate site and I can only imagine someone posted a link to that page in Twitter. I admit the text at first sight looks a bit suspicious until you see it in the context of the whole page.
