@paul that checks out

@paul Seriously, what WAS that?

@paul I refuse to believe Musk’s Twitter would use Optima. I would believe Comic Sans. Or, for some reason, Zapf Chancery.

@paul I made that exact observation some 20 years ago when I nuked all the cron jobs on our pet email server at school by slipping a tiny amount on the keys

@paul totally agree, I’ve been bitten by that one too

@paul hence my alias crontab='crontab -i' in my .bashrc , asks for yes/no when accidentally fucking up

@paul : I see what you did there! 😆😆

@paul with keywords such as x, and uh Twitter.

@paul you just know he’ll be complaining about being censored in those results. I give it until next week.

@paul apps with actual real names have trouble, this sure as shit wont work out well

@paul Looks like the web UI is just for sharing of threads, though - it specifically says you need the app to like or reply.

@paul
Let's see how it'll go.

I’ve seen a lot of doom and gloom about Threads and the fediverse. I don’t personally have a problem with it. More people on the network is IMO better. No algorithmic timeline means you are still following who you want to follow, gatekeeping seems silly.

@paul At what point does it stop becoming an API?

The ghost of TwitterDev updated their change log (today, even though the change is dated 3 days ago) stating that the Following/Followers methods have been deprecated. Again no notice, no reasoning, no replacement, nothing.

@paul Just add a raid controller there, and I’ll be happy :)

@paul Their Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 Dock is great. I suspect this will be as well, and for the price it's good value.

@paul Мультикарта современная, только не ISA, а PCI-E.

@paul AI is expensive! I think they’d only do that if they exhausted all options to extract free labor from human moderators.

@paul I'm also hoping for the last option because it will all but kill Reddit's value as a user.

Who had Reddit does dumb s**t on their bingo card? Oh everyone, well mark that square!

We never had the chance to shutdown Tweetbot but I probably would've made the same choice in Apollo's situation. For all of Twitter's 1.0 fault they weren't ever actively trying to kill us off. Sometimes they discouraged us, sometimes they encouraged, sometimes they ignore us.

Reddit is actively trying to get rid of 3rd party clients. No other way to view what's going on. You might be able to continue to plod along, but who the hell would want to?

@paul congrats!! 😍

@paul @ivory WooHoo

@paul Yay!! That AppStore splash isn't on UK Store though which is a shame.

@paul As others have noted, Amphetamine is probably the way to go if you just want to handle the sleep thing. But if you also want other stuff to turn or off just as quickly, OneSwitch might also be worth a try. https://fireball.studio/oneswitch

@paul See also: I need to refresh my IP address…. *ten clicks later*.

@paul use Amphetamine for MacOS. Works great.

Man at those speeds its almost tempting to just self-host a bunch of stuff and downgrade our hosted server. Not going to, but it sure is tempting.

@paul i pay like $7 for 500 mbit/s. There is plan with 900 mbit/s and $11 but i'm ok with 500.
AFAIK no restriction for public service hosting, host something public at home for last 15 years

Also my brain turned this into buck teeth Tweetbot and I can't stop seeing it.

@paul hilariously, whenever I have to try to purchase a part for a Tesla solar system that needs repair, that can only be "ordered" through a Google Form as well. 💀

And I never hear back from them ever

@paul I honestly can’t believe what’s happened to Twitter, but I’m glad mastodon (and ivory) are here

At this point they could as well not offer an official API and people who really need it would reverse engineer their way through.

@paul well same behavior as #mastodon correct me if i am wrong

@paul more mess on the way

@paul This!
Example: The piece of functionality we accidentally left out of a delivery.

Why anyone remains on Twitter is beyond me at this point.

@paul So when starts the $1 per letter per tweet?

@paul how to piss away your money. Couldn't he have cured cancer?
