The Nitter project, a privacy-oriented X/Twitter front-end, has been discontinued by its owner. The decision is linked to X/Twitter's move to disable the creation of guest accounts, on which Nitter was heavily relying.

"Don't sell my personal information" sounds really dystopian, don'tcha think?

How do you feel about Tom Scott going on hiatus after 10 years? (www.youtube.com)

I’ll admit I’m a little lost/down, it came out of nowhere! Over the years he’s produced an endless stream of genuinely interesting videos. I can’t really think of any other video hosts that can make a wide range of topics sound so interesting....

Playingwithethenew,

I think he privates all his update videos after a certain length of time, to avoid people being confused.

going back to work in January

Playingwithethenew,

@tony He's still in videos, just not the weekly series we've expected over the last decade.

@flacs @wolfram_roesler @tetris11

Playingwithethenew,

Honestly, this reminds me of 1968. Old president supports war unpopular with youth, people protest, the GOP choose a failed candidate from the previous election, y'know?

What two-letter words should be in the (English) Scrabble dictionary?

I'll go first: Any plural of a letter (e.g. "three bs in bubble", "ps in your font", "typing vs on this keyboard"). Listed in Merriam-Webster as "sometimes not cap", yet it's not in their Scrabble dictionary.

Yes, the enthusiasm for NFTs has cratered, but we shouldn't use junk analysis to make that point. Too many news outlets uncritically reprinted a bad "study", and the resulting eye-catching headline was widely shared.

Playingwithethenew,

@gulovsen It totally has been used for important issues.

Playingwithethenew,

Hard to believe it took this long for a solution...

Playingwithethenew,

@realTuckFrumper Nice to hear, although I hope Biden does more to end the climate crisis.

Hey, kbin! What's popping?

Playingwithethenew,

People have very good taste in tourist attractions.

Playingwithethenew,

According to the article, the FBI has access to:
"User account information like the e-mail address associated with your account, your followers and follows, etc.
All your posts: public, unlisted, followers-only, and direct ("DMs").
Possibly IP addresses associated with your account - IP addresses on Kolektiva.social are logged for 3 days and then deleted, so IP addresses from any logins in the 3 days prior to the database backup date would be included.
A hashed ... version of your password."

(Emphasis mine.)
