Spent hours trying to find a handle. Wonder if @jack, @biz or anyone on the @Twitter team has tried signing up since the bots arrived?

@cstanley Hopefully a nice easy one, @handle is prefixed with @ resulting in @@handle on private accounts

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@SmokeAwayyy Beautiful, gotta feel for the guy sweeping up though.

@thebmbennett @htmx_org Then https://t.co/ta9GwwQFYx (same Grug)

@kybalioncipher @htmx_org Htmx doesn’t replace JS on the backend, your language of choice replaces JS on the backend. Htmx enables the front end to talk true fully fledged hypermedia to your backend of choice.

If you’ve ever had to prove you own a domain name (domain verification) you might be interested to hear I’ve developed an automated solution to that. Once rolled out, it could save millions of small businesses time and confusion. https://t.co/T02GfSAyDZ

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@rokhladnik Standard domain verification methods are such a hurdle for most businesses, totally insurmountable for many. I’ve been working on way to automate this and would be really grateful for feedback from marketers in case you had time to take a look: https://t.co/T02GfSAyDZ

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@driaug_ I’m working on a protocol for automatic domain verification. It doesn’t solve your “domain verification reset” problem but does hopefully make verifying domains easier: https://t.co/T02GfSAyDZ

@wesbos Back in mid-2000s, having two SQL query windows open:

One a SELECT grabbing the valuable data you really need; the other a DELETE FROM pruning the useless data.

Updating your WHERE clause in the wrong window. Goodbye dinner plans.

This isn’t a new attack vector, everyone’s just getting excited because of .zip. Anyone could have previously sent you a link to https://t.co/e2gh3ImNWT[/][email protected] but they don’t because …. it doesn’t work and hasn’t for a very long time. Browsers and email clients don’t accept URIs with this `userinfo` because it’s bad practice and deprecated.

@NameshakeReg @mattwinn The HS domain matt.winn/ doesn't resolve for any of the "Secure DNS" options listed in Chrome's "Privacy & Security > Security" and even when I select "Customized" and enter a NextDNS DoH URL (with Web3 enabled), I still get nothing. Any ideas?

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@i_usearchbtw Na, you’ve been duped. There’s no way that’s real! Such a popular library would be soooo much better written, and probably in TS.

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

Thanks for the reply but what is there to DM?

That bottle has been recycled a long time ago so you can’t help with that issue. Fwiw I nearly threw the top at a Swan in a canal just to be vindictive.

My issue is in the tweet, the solution is what you had before. Is this design just in the UK or worldwide?

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

Hey @CocaCola_GB, I get it: you’re trying to do good things by attaching the lid to the bottle. But did anyone at Coke towers try and drink from one of these bottles? With the cap on, it’s messy. With the cap torn off it’s like French kissing a stag beetle.

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@iamthemunro @GuinnessGB And coffee, right? …. right? Or are you chugging kale smoothies now?

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@jyroneparker @kenwheeler @rrhoover A beautiful word for virtual sex over the internet. One of many beautiful words from Ted Nelson, another is intertwingularity.

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@htmx_org This is the one

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@raimeyuu @quii @htmx_org There’s a good essay about why this type of app might not be a good fit for the htmx (hypermedia) approach https://t.co/TkmoATl1GT

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@iamthemunro So have you got terrible new coke bottles too?

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

@iamthemunro report in please

[Elliott Brown @ElliottInvent]

Hang on, is this just for us in the UK or is this a worldwide thing? It’s possible us Brits have quietly put up with it for a few weeks, we’ve had a lot to put up with. But I feel like the Americans would have more to say about this.
