Yeah! I forget the name of the product but we’re having a professional version of this that will build up a 3D browsable photo of all the framing / rough-ins.

ooh what are you using for that? I'm about to be at this part of the project and so far was just planning on lots of photos and good labeling of the files

I think the English version of 'too' sounds a bit like a toddler. You have to punctuate with a stamp of your foot.
'We do too have time to go to the park!'

Yes! That's exactly the meaning I was trying to explain

Of course, when you say "X does not apply to Y", then "X applies to Y too" expresses something contrasting. But this seems to be more a "coincidence" of both sentences' semantics, rather than part of "too".

It's a pretty subtle difference, but "X applies to Y too" is not at all the same as "X does too apply to Y". The latter is more like "doch" where it's clearly intended to refute the original claim.

"Too" is not one, I would argue! It's more "auch" (also in this sentence).

When said with the right intonation and emphasis, "too" in that example does do the same thing as "doch" in the German equivalent of the sentence.

What’s your favourite German word that has no English equivalent?

Mine is ‘doch’.

We do too have an equivalent in English!

What’s something unhinged that you used to do as a kid? I’ll go 1st.
I used to prank call my friends pretending to be them from the future, calling to inform them of something silly that would happen in the future.
Then I would spend the school day making that silly thing true.

This is so smart 🥹

I used to call random 800 numbers from a pay phone every week, and eventually found one where an actual person answered, and then kept calling it every week and we became weird phone friends I guess

Also, access that link outside of the twitter mobile app.

Within the app, you’ll only see login sessions, not externally connected apps.

Oh good call, I didn't even think about that

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

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?

@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.

@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"

PSA: If you use Twitter to sign in to stuff, you should double check you have another way to get in to those accounts asap. With Twitter charging ??? for API access next week, you have no way of knowing whether the apps you use are going to pay that.

You can review the list of apps you've connected to your Twitter account here:

@Aaronpk are you aware of any attempts to port overland to Android? I’m thinking of embarking on that journey unless someone else has started something I can contrib to.

Yes it exists already!
