Cool, did not know this and used readonly groups (with one writer) for this before: [Wayback/Archive] WhatsApp Help Center – How to use broadcast lists
Via: [Archive] Sylvia on Twitter: “Ik wist nooit van t bestaan van verzendlijsten op whapp. Zusje kwam er gisteravond mee. Ging wereld voor mij open. Ideaal in deze situatie. Gewoon 1 bericht er uit en hele familie en vriendenkring is op de hoogte.”

Cool that Amnesty International can do a YouTube [Wayback/Archive] Extract Meta Data (Amnesty International).
Via:
I wonder if I can write a Bookmarklet for this (it will likely require an HTTP POST request).

I didn’t know about analytics.twitter.com. It cannot be archived in the WayBack machine or Archive Today (because of http 307 redirects without a logged on Twitter account), but it gives analytics of your past twitter behaviour.
The about link does archive though: [Wayback/Archive] Twitter Analytics: about.

I forgot to post this: [Wayback/Archive] Which characters need to be escaped in HTML? – Stack Overflow
If you’re inserting text content in your document in a location where text content is expected1, you typically only need to escape the same characters as you would in XML. Inside of an element, this just includes the entity escape ampersand&and the element delimiter less-than and greater-than signs<>:& becomes & < becomes < > becomes >
I didn’t quote further, as this bit is somehow important for WordPress posts. WordPress reminded me the hard way when initially these posts were wrongly titled:
<p>, <div> and <span> in HTML&XHTML? (wrongly titled “What is the difference between , and in HTML&XHTML?“)
Another difference between the <p> and <div> element in HTML&XHTML<p> and <div> element in HTML&XHTML (wrongly titled “Another difference between the and element in HTML&XHTML“)
Another difference between the <p> and <div> element in HTML&XHTMLWarning:
It also means the “Press This” bookmarklet always gets unescaped plain text wrong. Watch this when selecting text for blogging and check if the selected text actually got into your post fine.
Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Ahmet for asking the above question and [Wayback/Archive] Jeremy for answering it.

A nice zine by @b0rk (Julia Evans) [Wayback/Archive.is] SPF & DKIM records
And a few days later [Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “… looks like a really nice way to learn about SPF/DKIM (h/t @CubicleApril) you send it an email and it walks you through everything the receiver does to verify the email …” / Twitter which referred to
[Wayback/Archive] Learn and Test DMARC.

I quickly hacked together this JavaScript Bookmarklet today, so it is without any checks and assumes you have enabled one Mastodon account for publishing, that you are hosting your blog on WordPress.com, and using the Classic Editor:
javascript:(function(){ publicizeFormEditHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-edit'); publicizeFormEditHref.click(); mastodonCheckboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('wpas-submit-mastodon'); mastodonCheckboxes[0].checked = true; publicizeFormHideHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-hide'); publicizeFormHideHref.click(); updateButtonHref = document.getElementById('publish'); updateButtonHref.click(); })();
The above code is the state of [Wayback/Archive] JavaScript Bookmarklet for the WordPress classic editor which enables mastodon publishing (assuming you have one mastodon publishing account enabled … ) and due to be improved in a later blog post.
This will enable the currently edited post to be published to Mastodon, then update/publish the post.
On enabling one Mastodon account for publishing:

In other news since yesterday [Wayback/Archive] Twitter now requires an account to view tweets | TechCrunch
Like many of Twitter’s recent changes, this could easily backfire. If tweets aren’t publicly accessible, search engine algorithms could rank the site’s content lower, meaning that fewer people would be directed to the site from Google.
This not only hampers SEO, but any anonymous access to tweets resulting in Twitter to have become a walled garden without any prior announcement.
As of yesterday, this for instance makes it way harder for researchers to access Twitter in a non-biased way (the Twitter Algorithm will always bias the timeline for an account). It also prohibits the Wayback Machine from archiving Tweets (which I rightnow cannot archive):
Twitter is now more restricted than LinkedIn or Facebook, so I think it is a next step of burning the Twitter Equity to the ground followed after many other steps scaring Twitter users away, for instance as of:

Een ontzettend belangrijke podcast is [Wayback/Archive] All the Cyber Ladies – PodcastFeed
Een podcast voor, door en over vrouwen in cybersecurity.
Ik mis geregeld de periode van 30-35 jaar terug waarin IT-teams vaak “gewoon” uit 25% vrouwen bestonden. Gemêleerde teams zijn van onschatbare waarde voor goed functionerende IT, niet alleen vanuit oogpunt van #a11y en #inclusie: ook voor information security.
De tijd maakt inmiddels gelukkig een inhaalslag: er komen steeds meer vrouwen in de IT en je merkt gestaag dat teams diverser worden. All the Cyber Ladies draagt eraan bij dat proces binnen information security verder te versnellen.
De podcast is begin juni dit jaar van start gegaan en heeft nu al een trouwe schare volgers die hopelijk verder groeit naarmate Google deze hoger in de zoek-index opneemt.
Uiteraard is er ook een [Wayback/Archive] All the Cyber Ladies – PodcastFeed RSS zodat je die aan je eigen Podcast Player kunt toevoegen (en vaak staat die er al zoals bijvoorbeeld bij [Wayback/Archive] Player.FM: All The Cyber Ladies podcast)
Via [Wayback/Archive] Lucinda on Twitter: “@jpluimers Zeker!! Je kan de podcast in veel andere players vinden. https://t.co/ksUB8Hd7e4” / Twitter.

Interesting read: [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @aakashg0 on Thread Reader App with this takeaway:
If you take away anything, remember this – the models take in 3 inputs:
• Likes, retweets, replies: engagement data
• Mutes, unfollows, spam reports: user data
• Who follows you: the follower graph
Read from the start at [Wayback/Archive] Aakash Gupta 🚀 Product Growth Guy on Twitter: “Twitter revealed its algorithm to the world. But what does it mean for you? I spent the evening analyzing it. Here’s what you need to know:”
The algorithm is at [Wayback/Archive] twitter/the-algorithm: Source code for Twitter’s Recommendation Algorithm.
Via [Wayback/Archive] Andrea on Twitter: “Haha, dát is het dus!” / Twitter
Note: for me the only way to reliably follow people is this: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on Twitter: “@chrisbensen @geerlingguy @TwitterBlue @elonmusk @tweetbot About the only tweeps I see tweets from on a regular base is the ones I turned notifications on for. It does not matter if they are blue or not. The blue ones tend to post overly large tweets. Those I skip reading.”
