As an alt-text advocate, I appreciate [Wayback/Archive] Thomas 🔭✨: “The same people who say it’s t…” – Hachyderm.io
The same people who say it’s too hard to write alt text are now suddenly “prompt engineers” who literally write alt text to generate images.

In case you missed it, this is indeed a thing: Prompt engineer – Wikipedia.

I missed this, hence it is now in my link archive:

The drawback sending out emails all with the same subject is that the receiver is having a hard time setting them apart.
Especially in the work or medical realm this makes people miss crucial information.
Worse are organisations broadcasting on Twitter, but not responding at all to improvement suggestions. [Wayback/Archive] @ZorgDomein / Twitter gets both wrong (and is also unusually hard to find phone contact information for on their web-site):

Based on these tweets, I want to write a bookmarklet that at least removes the s= and t= parameters from Twitter URLs, maybe even all parameters (TODO: figure out if there are useful Twitter URL parameters first):
?s=03” (or another number like “?s=09“). Deleting these URL parameters causes no harm. Or at least the truncated URL loads the same tweet. What do these URL parameters mean and who uses them? @twitter, #twitter, #tweeps”t= parameter works as is and sometimes it doesn’t work until we delete the parameter.”Even Jack Dorsey didn’t know they were introduced when he was still Twitter CEO. From the tweets below:
s parameter seems to have to have to do with both the kind of sharing and the type of client used.t parameter could correlate with the user ID.There is a sort of bookmarklet below which goes through an external web-site (search for “unfurl”), but I want to do it purely client-side.

Low-tech beats hi-tech. It always does.
Oh, and it so much reminds me of BITNET relay, early internet and BBS/Fidonet days.
[Wayback/Archive] Nick Wright: “1993: I use BBSes for online i…” – Mastodon.ART
1993: I use BBSes for online interaction. Each BBS is run by some random person. They connect to a federated worldwide network. I keep my notes in .TXT files.
2008-2022: I use social networks like Facebook and Twitter for online interaction. They’re huge and popular. I use Evernote for my notes, which is full of features.
2023: I use Mastodon for online interaction. Each instance is run by some random person. They connect to a federated worldwide network. I keep my notes in .TXT files.

Reminder to self to yearly check all my Google accounts because of [Wayback/Archive] Updating our inactive account policies
we are updating our inactivity policy for Google Accounts to 2 years across our products. Starting later this year, if a Google Account has not been used or signed into for at least 2 years, we may delete the account and its contents – including content within Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar), YouTube and Google Photos.The policy only applies to personal Google Accounts, and will not affect accounts for organizations like schools or businesses. This update aligns our policy with industry standards around retention and account deletion and also limits the amount of time Google retains your unused personal information.We are going to roll this out slowly and carefully, with plenty of notice:
- While the policy takes effect today, it will not immediately impact users with an inactive account — the earliest we will begin deleting accounts is December 2023.
- We will take a phased approach, starting with accounts that were created and never used again.
- Before deleting an account, we will send multiple notifications over the months leading up to deletion, to both the account email address and the recovery email (if one has been provided).

[Wayback/Archive] Danielle Braun dr. on Twitter: “En en in plaats van of of.”
The image is by @thepresentpsychologist on Instagram (figured that out via Google Lens finding [Wayback/Archive] Psychological Safety Newsletter #39: Diversity and Ethical Behaviour | Psychological Safety), but and it took some effort to find the original post back as Instagram does not allow anonymous browsing.

Edit: I scheduled this post a long time ago, but it likely won’t work any more because of Space Karen demolsing Twitter. So for now, view this post as a how historically we had nice things on Twitter.
When writing this, the fork [Wayback/Archive] woluxwolu/twint works and the original [Wayback/Archive] twintproject/twint: An advanced Twitter scraping & OSINT tool written in Python that doesn’t use Twitter’s API, allowing you to scrape a user’s followers, following, Tweets and more while evading most API limitations. does not.
See these tweets in Dutch (Google Translate on them works well):
