News is moving quickly tonight: Movetodon has gotten shut down by Twitter due to unspecified 'rule violations'. This makes it matter of utmost urgency to preserve as much of the Twitter bot developer community as possible, as the deadline of February 9th shutdown cannot be presumed to be safe.

If you have worked with the #twitter API in any capacity, please check out this work by @tchambers:

Connected Places

For all non-developers: access to friend-finding tools cannot be assumed to last until the February 9th deadline. So use them while you still can.

Tools that are currently still available that help you find your Twitter friends:

debirdify.pruvisto.org/
fedifinder.glitch.me/
twitodon.com/

If you're looking for more context what this is all about, you can find that in my weekly newsletter: fediversereport.com/last-week-…

Debirdify

This is a web app that helps you find out which of the people you follow on Twitter are on Mastodon/in the Fediverse already and follow all of them easily.

Japanese users reported #TwitterAPI-accessed accounts being frozen a day ago. Twitter disabled Movetodon's access about 8 hours ago.

You don't have until next week.

The casualty is not the FediVerse. The casualty is the people who relied upon free-of-charge #Twitter, directly or indirectly, for everything from authentication to robot-posted pictures of possums. They've lost all of that.

They were always the product, not the customer, of course.

New, by me: A New York-based 'stalkerware' maker has agreed to notify individuals whose phones were compromised by its mobile surveillance software, including PhoneSpector and Highster.

It's a rare, rare win against stalkerware, following a deal with the New York attorney general's office.

#devlog #deltachat_desktop finally gets its own window to open HTML emails!

github.com/deltachat/deltachat…

Background: Html email in a dedicated window, header of the window shows subject and sender of the email and an unchecked checkbox to load remote images. below that is the email with images missing. In the foreground there is a dialog explaining that remote images can be used for tracking, asking the user if they really want to load remote images. There are buttons for yes, no and also a checkbox "Do not ask again", which disables the confirmation dialog if checked.

Twitter cuts off API access to Movetodon, one of the best tools for finding and following one's own Twitter followers on Mastodon (Mike Masnick/Techdirt)

Twitter cuts off API access to Movetodon, a useful tool for finding and following one's Twitter followers on Mastodon; it's unclear if the tool broke any rule

I want to pass on something which I learned today. This could be very useful if there are particular Twitter accounts you wish to track, such as news sources, and you're not going to be able to access them as easily in the future.

What you will do is use an RSS Reader to obtain the Twitter feed. There are some good RSS Readers around. We have one in our Leasey product which does work with what I am going to describe here, but there are plenty of others, including Tweesecake I believe although I haven't tried it there.

Use the following syntax, where the term, username, represents the Twitter username, such as brianhartgen

Place this into your RSS Reader to validate the URL.
openrss.org/twitter.com/userna…
such as
openrss.org/twitter.com/brianh…

Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.

Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.

It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.

Alternatively, our screen readers, particularly speech synthesizers and Braille translators, should be smarter. espeak-ng is already pretty good at splitting all-lowercase compound words. I'm not one who believes that the sighted majority should all have to put in extra effort to accommodate us; our tools should do as much of the adapting as possible.

And yes, taken to its logical extreme, this means that screen readers should use machine learning to reconstruct UI content and semantics from pixels, rather than developers having to make their GUIs accessible). I think we'll eventually get there. But that's way harder than handling all-lowercase hashtags. And requiring all social media users to change their habits just for us is a much bigger ask than requiring application and GUI toolkit developers to implement accessibility.

Wäre echt toll, würdet Ihr beim Zuordnen der restlichen 2.500 helfen! Titel & Autor verlinken jetzt auch auf Wikiedia, um dabei zu unterstützen:

Gerade gingen wieder ein paar #eBooks online. Mit dabei auch die ersten Eurer Empfehlungen für die Zuordnung unkategorisierter Bücher aus "Verschiedenes" – Danke! 😍

Kurzer Tipp: Roman, Erzählung, Novelle etc. sind Genres, keine Kategorien; Kategorien sind eher "Themenbereiche": Ein Roman kann ein Abenteuer, Drama, Historisches etc. sein.

Macht gern weiter, so kommt Ordnung rein: ebooks.qumran.org/opds/catsugg
