JESUS THAT’S A LOT OF BOTS! enough internet for today

Want to find all the bots on Twitter? Watch this:

My IG account was hacked, can someone help me recover it? cc @instagram

How do you safely do this?

HTTPS://site.com/data/ + protect(untrusted);

URL encoding is not the answer, it still allows path traversal. Base64 encoding is not the answer, the + and / characters, legal in base64, can skew a URL.

My latest video. How long roughly do you think to record, edit and deliver?

Either how long would it take you, or how long do you think it took me. Either or.

Just curious to know if I'm actually efficient or not (I think I am 😆)

🎉 We’re celebrating 2 years with the @traveloneworld Alliance! Did you know? Alaska Mileage Plan™ members can earn & redeem miles to 900 more destinations worldwide when traveling with the 13 Alliance airlines. London, Sydney, Tokyo & beyond! So, where will you go?

But also wtf @AmericanAir what's the point in buying a Premium Economy ticket if you don't serve bubbly, and also ran out of the IPA that's on the menu before the plane even took off

I've always thought I present pretty clearly as cisgender male, but this flight attendant just told me "no ma'am" when I asked if they had any sparkling wine on board 🤷‍♂️

Remember when "web 2.0" spawned a series of life/activity tracker apps that aggregated all of your online activity? Tweets, checkins, blog posts, music you're listening to, etc all colocated in a stream.

I...want that again. Does anyone know if things like that still exist?

The most time-consuming part of any development work I do is inevitably the research

Need to implement OAuth 2 for something? I'll spend WAY more time researching the details of what that involves than actually writing the code for it

ChatGPT... does 80% of that research for me

There’s this service called “Block the Blue” that just automatically blocks people who pay for Twitter Blue. !’m considering using it. Does anyone know if there’s a way to see if anyone you follow is a Blue subscriber?

On Mac it’s very easy

Essential. @flexibits Fantastical (Mac and iOS) is my pick and has this.

iCal has this I think?

You can do this with Google calendar, I have recently learned.

Would you agree that the solution is still:
- Sock puppet accounts for the "key holders."
- A Chromebook only used for email/sponsors that aren't logged into the YouTube channel or anything else. If you cannot use a Chromebook, use a Mac.

Security requires inconvenient… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1639032681454522368

This is a much better response with valuable data that we can all gain from! Good job.

As for your skepticism, I can only say that it's the same thing I've been seeing for the past few years with the same outcome (the fake Tesla crypto scam live streams), so I have little reason… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1639030922115977216
