Rebranding makes sense, though how I'd done it was only when the "X app" had enough use cases that many users came to it not from the existing Twitter user pool but from anywhere, like for payments like with WeChat. Rebrandin

Awesome, now my light personal-use scraper works again. Didn't even take a restart! Hope Twitter soon lets go of the temporary login restriction too. Given that this isn't completely blocked without a login, I'd expect that t

I actually don't like politics being so prevalent in the space but it's quite unavoidable to give free speech any chance in the current environment. I really hope it evens out. It's just the sad state of the world that the mo

Didn't ask and go stuff your worthless ignorance somewhere else. It's people like you why we can't have nice things.

On the community side, it now better reflects its mission as the public market square, where before it was so unbalanced to the left (also making what was to the right way more polarized) that it just wasn't very much fun or developing

I really don't expect this to be permanent. For this very second though, I do get your point, there are quite a few services I only visit occasionally through links and even after making an account I was a lurker for the longest time o

It really depends I suppose. If you consider the accused to to be in an unearned place of power, it might feel like an acceptable thing to do (albeit still quite icky and pedesterian). But if the situation is very different and/or you

This rhetoric is well past its peak. When the firings happened, people said twitter would crash in a week. It's been a long time since then, and twitter, for my very generic uses and purposes, has just gotten better. Demonizing past ha

That's nothing. Instead hopping on the bandwagon hating on the thing we all use and care about, a situation where you would know a solution but are not allowed to act because of fear of even trying anything is so much worse. Especially

Of course the scraper would have to pay too. But it makes for a race between how much they are willing to pay, versus how much worse the experience gets for real users. And for successful mobile apps, reducing average load even during activ

It already was semi-hard to machine-read, that is the reason I use Nitter for doing my small-scale continuous scraping of twitter which is now temporarily broken. Nitter is tons easier to parse as it's not reliant on JS, etc, and simpl

>first striking observation was that there was no enough information about what’s going on and there is still not enough. I "ran" a bot/crawler hobby project that takes a russian-speaking telegram channel as an input and o

That is literally their own site. I don't think they would DMCA themselves Thanks for the link. The work email requirement for just the download is just bullshit (yes I did read their piece, with that kind of logic they could also requ

It looks a bit comical how Twitter rivals are doing based on this: -Post points out mistake in BlueSky's tech kind of comparable to "rolling one's own crypto" in concept (not as dangerous but not the kind of mistake one

I created a basic similar app for my own use because I wanted to have an idea what people are conversing in russian in online lobbies. WPF, Tesseract OCR and Microsoft's translation API. https://streamable.com/ykng5u A

I agree that security on PC's isn't as mature as it should be. There just should not be a case that Riot running a kernel-mode driver -based anticheat just for _their_ games. Hell, I was ready to flame about it not working with v

The output from this incident doesn't seem useful for anyone tbh. -Just deleting the comment isn't right. But it was up for a long time so saying this renders the comment system useless isn't true. Snuffing out speech at ince
