It’s been a crazy and chaotic week. There will be more to come. I’m trying to get a leg up on a number of shifting piles.
Background processes continue to run, though, and I’ve been thinking a lot about my future presence on the interwebs.
Probably less than 24 hours before a white plume of smoke rises and I move to a vanity mastodon instance utilizing one of the absurd number of domains I have collected.
Let's pour one out for third-party Twitter clients:
Apps that shaped UI conventions, pioneered a market, and in many ways reinvented how we communicate online – unceremoniously killed off by a clown who thinks he's the smartest guy around because he has money.
These apps didn't deserve to end up like this.
Late yesterday, The Information reported that it had seen internal Twitter Slack communications confirming that the company had intentionally cut off third-party Twitter app access to its APIs. The shut-down, which happened Thursday night US time, hasn’t affected all apps and services that use the API but instead appears targeted at the most popular third-party
I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.
Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.
It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.

I was prepared to wait for the public release of @ivory, but I got in this morning and I am ON THE JAZZ
For a platform essentially about scrolling content, a lot of apps need to learn how to do scrolling when new data arrives
This is like having a scratch on my glasses that has been giving me headaches for weeks filled and buffed out
I think I figured it out - it’s like a more useful trackback ping from the golden age of blogging, like “FYI you said you were into this, and there’s some new stuff that happened with that, use this information however you wish, but here’s an easy path to immediately pull up the updated version”
Ah, to be young and feel the internet is more than a surveillance casino mall
Got a sneaking suspicion stable genius ceo finally had someone explain that api calls don’t serve ads and had a hissy fit and had all third party clients blocked.
I’d been checking in to keep up with people who aren’t moving, whether out of concerns about marginalized voices needing the “fire hose” of centralization, or just spite
If Tweetbot got kicked to the curb, though, I can’t see even keeping that up
