This is amazing!

“Twitter locked down its source code to prevent unauthorized changes, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. The reports say that this change was made to prevent employees from ‘going rogue’ and sabotaging the platform after Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of the company. Currently, a vice president must approve any changes.”

It would have been awesome for someone to sneak a full ActivityPub implementation into Twitter. 😂

@ramsey What I would like to see is a "translate this toot" link, as I like following content in multiple languages. As a matter of fact, I'll likely will *write* in multiple languages as well.
Languages rock.

@derickr Speaking of languages, I finally picked up Duolingo again, and I’m continuing my Dutch lessons.

@beausimensen It’s so close to English, I figured it’d be easy. 😁

@ramsey @beausimensen Hah. Natuurlijk. Omdat oud-engels net oud-nederlands is, is de taal nu ook nog steeds hetzelfde :-þ

@ramsey @beausimensen For me that seems to be one of the reasons why it's so hard. It's so similar. Unless when it's not. And having to remember when it is and when it's not is much harder for me than learning something completly different...
