I'd like to find a way to automate it so that people on a social media team can fave tweets and those automatically get compiled into a google sheet. I see github has some Selenium X scrapers that could be useful, but none of them seem to have an option to load someone's faves. I guess I could try to figure them out and retrofit this myself.
@nyquildotorg Whoa, it does! I was taking for granted anything like that was long gone. (Saw a blog post from Zapier that they were discontinuing X support)
Everyone we’re aiming for with this already has an X account, so you don’t have to do anything but grab the tweet data from a simulated web browser. Seems like this would be hard for Musk to block, and it would be a nice side benefit to make him spend resources to try.
I feel like every time I see something about "such and such celebrity is a zionist, let's cancel them" it links back to some comment of sympathy and support for Israelis they made on, like, October 10, but elides the timestamp.
Similarly, I think some immediate statements from SJP and DSA chapters and whatnot, that they're still paying for, were made before the scale of attacks on civilians was apparent.
If we want to condemn, we have more than enough material from recent months, we don't have to go back to the peak of Fog of War.
I don’t really understand what it means that #bluesky is somehow now connected to the #Fediverse? If I have an account there on bluesky, will I now have two accounts in the Fediverse?
@serenebabe At least for now, it’s opt in. From bluesky, you follow the account “@ap.brid.gy” and then an account is created on the bridgyfed instance that mirrors the posts from that account. For example, my mirrored account from Bluesky is @jbaer.bsky.social
@serenebabe Essentially, yeah. Though I mostly did that to try the tech. I think it’s more useful for people who only want to post in one place, but want to be able to interact with people in other places.
I think is spot on. The culture has changed (and Apple doesn’t see it). But also Apple’s place in the culture has changed and it is just another tech giant. I would argue, though, that’s down to Apple itself, and its behaviour. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/05/09/dhh-crush
@jannem@ianbetteridge The weirdest thing for me was the doll with its eyes bulging out. That was straight up horror. There’s a cultural precedent for guitar smashing and paint exploding. That could almost be passed off as some kind of rock-and-roll ethos. But it feels like they went out of their way to be explicitly mean spirited.
