A few years ago, Twitter basically killed API access by making it cost prohibitive for anything but very large organisations.
Here are some links I archived back then that might be able to replace some automation behaviour by using Selenium to drive a web browser.

[Wayback/Archive] Mastodon Flock
Welcome to the Mastodon Flock installation wizard.
This program will guide you through finding your Twitter contacts on the Fediverse, provided they have added their external contact information on their profile name, description, URL or pinned Tweet.
It is open source in the repository [Wayback/Archive] WesSouza/mastodon-flock: Let the birds flock to Mastodon.
I love the retro Windows 95 Installer look which is even continued in the [Wayback/Archive] About (“how this software works”), and [Wayback/Archive] Privacy Policy:

Edit 20260601: Tagged “missed schedule” vanwege de WordPress.com missed schedule bug die sinds 2012 niet is opgelost (kennelijk kan WordPress wel iets met AI, maar een lijst met meer dan 100 geagendeerde blogposts is “too big” voor ze)
Origineel:
Voor in het huurdossier: [Wayback/Archive] Wat is de maximale huurverhoging voor een vrijesectorwoning in 2026? | Rijksoverheid.nl
In 2026 is de jaarlijkse huurverhoging voor vrijesectorwoningen maximaal 4,4%. Dit geldt ook voor ligplaatsen voor woonboten. De huurverhoging moet wel als afspraak in uw huurcontract staan.

Though I have no Reddit account, it has much useful content, so I wish I had known his query site like 15 years ago [Wayback/Archive] SocialGrep – Social Media Analytics for Reddit
It looks like very few people mentioned me on Reddit too. Is that a good thing?

PS: te laat gepubliceerd, want “Missed Schedule” omdat WordPress.com een beperking van 100 geplande artikelen in de wachtrij heeft. Een probleem dat ze al sinds 2012 niet opgelost hebben.

Windows had its own aCropalypse in the Snipping tool, but other UWP based applications are vulnerable of that too because of this:
[Wayback/Archive] Steven Murdoch on Twitter: “However, the new “more secure” Universal Windows Platform (UWP) sandboxes the file picker in a separate process, allowing neat features like capability-based access control. It returns a file handle which, if the selected file exists, will not overwrite the existing content! 3/9”
It is part of this interesting [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @sjmurdoch on Thread Reader App with these two parts just after the above Tweet:
The old Win32 API for saving a file was (roughly) to show a file picker, get the filename the user selected, and then open the file. To open a file, the programmer must specify whether to overwrite the file or not, and example code usually does overwrite the file.
However, the new “more secure” Universal Windows Platform (UWP) sandboxes the file picker in a separate process, allowing neat features like capability-based access control. It returns a file handle which, if the selected file exists, will not overwrite the existing content!
The tread continued supporting this statement, that in the new situation you need to manually truncated the file, and referenced these links:
