ihuman··on “We’re announcing an extension of free Twitter API access through February 13.”
They just added a new limit on the number of times you can tweet per day (2400 tweets).

I don't think so. Movetodon is still working for me.
ihuman··on Tweetbot. April 2011 – January 2023
Buffer and Hootsuite have both said that they are unaffected
ihuman··on Tweetbot is back down again
> Twitter subsidized someone else’s paid app

I thought the larger developers had to pay Twitter to use their API?

ihuman··on Gripes with RSS after one week
Firefox used to have that functionality built in, but they removed it in late 2018
ihuman··on This is the year of the RSS reader?
I know NetNewsWire and NewsBlur have already been mentioned, but I use both of them together. I use NewsBlur on Windows, and NetNewsWire with my NewsBlur account on Mac/iOS. NetNewsWire also supports iCloud, Feedbin, Feedly, and other services (and locally without syncing).
ihuman··on This is the year of the RSS reader?
JSON Feed is in a catch-22. Not many websites use it (and none can use it exclusively) because not as many clients support it. Few clients support it because not many websites use it. While an auto-discovery spec would be great, having multiple feeds is currently the only way to add JSON Feed and break the cycle.

> What we really need is an update to the auto-discovery spec that says "these two feeds have the exact same content, if you support both formats only show your preferred format to the user"

You could do that right now by having 1 URL that changes what type it returns based on the request's "Accept" type. However, I don't know if any websites/clients actually do that, or if it would break older clients.

ihuman··on This is the year of the RSS reader?
There is an RSS feed link in the footer. There's also a "link" tag to tell your browser that there's an RSS feed available for the page.
ihuman··on It's time for an RSS revival (2018)
Is it still doing that? Whenever I tap the "RSS FEED" link, Safari asks to open my RSS feed. Even when I uninstall my RSS app, Safari asks to look up feed readers in the app store. I can't find anything like that quote when I view the feed's source on desktop.

Edit: Maybe that was a bug? I see that exact same quote in a tiny font at the bottom of every page.

> Pay to subscribe, and only you will get the newsletter. RSS feed can't limit only to subscribers.

Patreon has this feature with their podcast RSS feeds.[1] When you subscribe, you get a URL with a personal, unique parameter. This feed has all the episodes that you pay for. Your version of the feed stops updating after you cancel your subscription.

[1] They probably also have it for normal RSS feeds, but I've only used their podcast RSS feeds

ihuman··on Paul Graham is leaving Twitter for now
The Tweetbot developers are making a Tweetbot for Mastodon https://tapbots.social/@ivory
ihuman··on Twitter has banned Mastodon links in name and bio for being “malware”
I thought this was a joke, but you weren't kidding [0]. He remade the poll with just "now" (55.9% right now) and "in 7 days" (44.1%) [1]

ihuman··on ElonJet Is Now Suspended
OP links to bot's creator's Twitter account, which hasn't been suspended. The @ElonJet account is still suspended.

ihuman··on The Twitter Advertiser Exodus
Twitter already made that. They launched Subscriptions (previously Super Follows) a year ago.

ihuman··on What Happened to Archive.is?
The .is version redirects to the .ph version anyway.

> however at this point you may not have enough focus points to hit the right thing

Cameras these days have over 700 focus points, and some high-end ones have thousands.

ihuman··on Audiobooks on Spotify
That depends on the service or app. Some accept both, and some only take RSS. Apple Podcasts used to accept Atom feeds, but they don't anymore for new podcasts. All the feeds

Edit: do you know any podcasts that use an atom feed? None of the 80 feeds in my podcast app are atom feeds.

ihuman··on The State of AV1 Playback Support
Safari 16 on iOS supports AVIF images, which use the AV1 encoding. Safari 16.1 beta adds support for both regular and animated AVIF images, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-not...
ihuman··on Office vacancy rate in San Francisco just hit a new high
That isn't what I meant at all. I meant within the same state or country, but too far away to meet in person.
ihuman··on Office vacancy rate in San Francisco just hit a new high
They never said it shouldn't be optional? OP wasn't asking why some people thing everyone should go back to the office. They were asking why some people like going to the office.
ihuman··on Office vacancy rate in San Francisco just hit a new high
All the WFH coworkers I've had were too spread out for that to be possible. Yes, "100% remote" means you can work from anywhere, but it also means your company can hire from anywhere.
ihuman··on Apple unveils redesigned iPad
This iPad has the flat sides from the Air and Pro, but it's not compatible with the 2nd gen iPad pencil. Instead, they're releasing a USB-C adapter so you can charge it directly from the iPad (1st gen plugged directly into the iPad's lightning port).
