    Looks like Twitter has made it so that when you look up a profile without being logged in, you see posts ranked by likes instead of by time. This will be a problem…

    I have also been prototyping bird.makeup for Instagram, which will be called kilogram.makeup.

    Should I focus my energy on that instead?

    vincent,

    @jerome I designed bird.makeup from the beginning to rely on endpoints that would break major use-cases of their product like yours if they ever remove them.

    Turns out Elon is perfectly willing to break them, which completely blows my mind

    LukeJohnson,

    @vincent I'm loving the conflicting poll responses so far. "Fixing bird isn't worth it! But you should do it!"

    "a fascinating way to show users the refresh rate of their screen by spinning a specially designed zoetrope-like disc graphic at speed. As it spins, the numbers representing the viewer’s refresh rate should remain visually stable unlike surrounding numbers."

    What if I told you that you can still get an authentic twitter experience without ads or algorithmic feed? TweetDeck is still alive. But it is hidden.

    1. Log out of x.com
    2. go to tweetdeck.twitter.com
    3. Open the browser console and type:
      document.cookie="tweetdeck_version=legacy"
    4. Refresh the browser and log in to twitter

    I'm so excited to share Mastopoet, a tool made by @raikas that allows you to capture Mastodon posts as beautiful images and share them across the Internet. This makes posts much more eye-catching in other social medias for instance. :bunhdheart:

    Use the tool: https://mastopoet.ohjelmoi.fi

    Browse the source code: https://github.com/raikasdev/mastopoet

    Mastopoet supports and options to show metrics in textual or icons or hide them completely.

    Please note: If you use this tool to share toots, remember to copy the post text as alt text, thank you!

    A prediction (based on decades of coding):
    There is some code - somewhere deep in the zillions of lines of X(Twitter) code - which absolutely and wrongly depends on the literal string "twitter".
    And, as the rebranding continues, it will fail, spectacularly.

    I posted about switching to Firefox as my "daily driver" browser as a little tiny step away from Chromium browser hegemony, and I had a ton of people in the replies suggesting I should just use Brave or Edge or Opera or Vivaldi instead.

    I'm a little concerned that people don't realize just how pervasive this problem is. Every single one of those sits on top of the Chromium codebase.

    A friend of mine once explained that a key reason most automakers don’t provide OTA software updates is that they are considered recalls.

    Since recalls are β€œbad” they are not incentivized to build updateable car software because they want to keep their 4 recalls on average per car metrics versus Tesla’s 62 recalls on average.

    A great example of how chasing the wrong metric can screw a product. https://insideevs.com/news/662943/tesla-most-recalled-car-brand-mercedes-toyota-least/

    The problem facing ride sharing and food delivery services is that you can only pick two out of these three

    β€’ Low prices
    β€’ Well paid drivers
    β€’ A profitable platform

    The entire category pioneered by Uber is not a good business model. It only got so large as a category due to being subsidized by billions in venture capital.

    Thinking of starting a mastodon instance for myself and for past and current patreon supporter, where I could develop more fediverse projects I want to create.

    Is that something that you would be interested in?

    (and of course bird.makeup would never get banned on it)
