twitter is a happy place

SYK!

hell no!

Thanks to the power of the fediverse and following the right people a skillfull fellow mastodon dropped the nitter bomb on me a couple of days ago.

Of course I asked first what it is, then both replied that it's a front end to the twitter api (yes to me only twitter existed till it was murdered by little elon) which never reveals you, meaning I can not only access my old accounts which I have downloaded (of course thousands of tweets!) conveniently as it is frozen in time. I have the imagery in front of me, instead of that large JSON pack

deleting twitter accounts will not erase the data automagically{servers never erase!})

I now thank the people who gave me another TIL

Oh, look! 💡 Another riveting piece on #peptides, but wait—JavaScript and #cookies are holding the information hostage! 🍪 Because nothing says cutting-edge science like a browser error page. 🙄 #EpicFail

Une toute petite lib qui facilite la création de web components "progressifs" dans le sens où elle permet de charger le HTML et le CSS avant le JavaScript sans créer de *layout shift*.

Elle est très jeune mais prometteuse.
