CBDQ notice: if you have a bot that posts images from imgur, looks like that's broken! I suspect they've banned the CBDQ IP address, presumably because there are too many bots posting images hosted there. Not sure there's too much I can do about this, sorry :/

replies are still working? who knows when they'll shut off. if there's no news in a couple of days i guess i'll... restore the ability to edit replies?

There has been an immense amount of enthusiasm for the upcoming changes with Twitter API. As part of our efforts to create an optimal experience for the developer community, we will be delaying the launch of our new API platform by a few more days. More information to follow… Show more

i have also just pushed up a fix for the "bots not tweeting" bug that's been around for the past while (especially for hourly bots). do let me know if things are screwy because of it.

this pretty much exactly matches my experience of gamedev (except the industry hasn't been around long enough for the member's club/dad's contacts bit to really matter)

wrote about "nepo babies", my own journey into journalism, and why getting your foot in the door isn't half as hard as managing to stay in the room after that newstatesman.com/comment/2023/0

with the reply function set to break in a day or so... this is your last chance to tweet the word "frog" to me. i mean, you can tweet the word "frog" to me after this, it's just nothing will happen. i mean, i might respond, but it'll be me and not— i mean, you know what i mean

CBDQ notice: in preparation for the new API limits, I have now set "every 10 minute" bots to post every half hour instead. Will leave replies running until they start failing.

okay, we have a bit more information now. It looks like CBDQ will no longer be able to post any faster than once every 30 minutes, and the reply feature will be removed.

Starting February 8, we will no longer support access to the tweet button, both web and in-app. API access will be available instead 🧵

it's possible that the reply functionality will stop working, if it truly is a write-only API. replies requiring getting the notifications for an account, so it can see if there's anything to reply to. but i'm going to wait to see what actually happens before planning anything.

CBDQ will keep running until it isn't practical for it to do so. that might be next week, that might be next month, maybe even next year, your guess is as good as mine.

*deep breath* DO 👏 NOT 👏 SEND 👏 US 👏 CLASSIFIED 👏 DOCUMENTS. This is not reverse psychology. For real, i'm running out of jokes about this. We cannot use them (it's sort of "turbo illegal"), and the people posting them can get into serious trouble.
