TIL Beaverton & Portland were first cities in Oregon to use mobile photo radar to enforce speed limits.

And it was in 1996!!! 27 yrs ago! And it worked really well.

It is now 2023. The lack of automated enforcement as we face record traffic fatalities is really not cool.

I remember when that got installed in Beaverton! It sounded like super high tech stuff at the time

Twitter is closing its doors to hobby bots like this one. They tell us a week before this happens.

There's been a lot of measured, well-mannered commentary from other makers of Twitter bots. I thought I'd share my uncensored thoughts instead.

Fuck this.

Is @Twitter also monetizing OIDC/Log In capability? That does not make sense. They are just acting as an identity provider in this context and I’m not sure putting a paywall for user initiated profile sharing consent to 3rd parties is a right move. @elonmusk?

I mean, has anything they've done made sense? They don't support OIDC which means you have to use the same OAuth developer portal to get API access and use Log In with Twitter. Are they going to separate the two by next week?

"Weirdly" that string has google hits.

hmmmm I can't imagine why this particular string has been relevant for the last *checks notes* ten years

@aaronpk From a dev standpoint it's just good practice, right? Distributing your consumer secret keys to so many devices so your team never misplaces it, right?....
It's like when I share my ssh private key in my public github repo for backup purposes along with a list of all servers it can access. (/sarcasm)

but for reals tho, the best way to make sure you have a backup of your data is to publish it as widely as possible. There are some photos from 15+ year old projects that I wish I had published more widely because somehow I've lost track of them over the years.

Apple TV has a clear advantage over Netflix since you know no one’s sharing their iCloud password with their family members

This Twitter API thing really makes me wonder if a walled garden company can ever be compatible with the open web. It is absolutely scandalous they’re shutting off a 15 year old free API

I've given many talks about how mobile apps can't be deployed with a secret, and using Twitter's 2013 "hacks" as an example. I'm just going to leave this completely unrelated string of random characters here for no particular reason

You mean this might be a choice that hurts people inclined to follow the rules while having minimal impact on malicious actors?

@aaronpk Oh lord are they charging for their *oauth* APIs too? That would be... incredibly short-sighted

who knows at this point. We'll see next week, but I wouldn't guarantee any particular behavior at this point

@aaronpk FWIW, OAuth appears to be treated separately from APIv1.1 and APIv2. it’s feasible that it will keep working for free. but it’s anybody’s guess at this point https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/api-reference-index

It's true, they are slightly different, but you still have to go through the developer portal to register an app for "log in with"
