@Wunkolo @ben_rainwolf gonna use it for 15 minutes so i can say it sucks with authority

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

@jaroslawjarosik Nope

Reddit clients are shutting down because they naïvely used the third-party-only API, and now Reddit is cutting off the "official" API.

Don't use third-party-only "official" APIs. Do whatever the first-party client or a web browser does.

(I rarely tweet these days. Hi!)

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

Twitter has disabled third-party client API tokens.

Twitter has demonstrated why we should only develop with protocols/APIs that the first-party stuff uses.

Don't use third-party-only APIs. Even if we do everything they ask, they'll still use it as a weapon to screw us later.

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

@jaroslawjarosik Not anymore

I’d only been using Twitter once a day since losing third party clients, so I’m following the RTs and replies using the Twitter mobile website on my phone.

I’m enjoying the overwhelming jank of this experience the same way people were enjoying Gollum last week.

@tone2k @tsoding There is no risk in most of the world. In America, for example, the Supreme Court recently ruled that violating the ToS of a website is not a crime. Van Buren v. United States.

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

@buzzert 2021, Van Buren vs. United States

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

@buzzert This was confirmed in a recent Supreme Court ruling, so there’s nothing of real substance they can do.

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

@buzzert None, in America. If your app is on the Apple App Store, they can request to have your app removed, and Apple says they will do it.

Otherwise, all they can do is try to make it a pain in the ass at a technical level.

@rweichler @unevenprankster Still leaves way more people buying software than before selling software to consumer was viable.

@JamesPopStar @kouotsu I went back to CS6 on Windows sometime around 2015. Still using it.

@rweichler @unevenprankster I don’t personally have to deal with App Store drama, because I don’t participate in it. You’re right that it’s a negative influence on the world, and indirectly affects me by making everything crappier.

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

@rweichler @unevenprankster Unless you mean it affects the world, like everything affects everything else. Then, sure. I use a 4 year old iPhone and I have no investment in the App Store. Actually, I wish it would go away.

@DaleNorth One day you're going to remove the protector and it's going to leave a layer of bonded sludge behind. Sorry, try not to think about it.

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

@TheGingerBill I think it's valid, since you will actually need to know these things in practice. And if the need for this feature was so high, it's partially C's fault for not having it in sooner.

[cancel/tumult @tumult]

@rfleury dunno what you're talking about
