So I've been optimizing the number of calls I make to twitter this week ( git.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeu ) and the error rate has been going down a lot.

It seems the user endpoint is the only one rated limited, so all the errors left are coming from that. You'll see that when looking at a profile or when trying to follow.

Still have many ideas on how I could optimize this further

“Cancel culture” is just what conservatives call “the free market” when it does something they don’t like.

bird.makeup builds are green again! builds.sr.ht/~cloutier/job/102

Still some errors right now related to rate limiting, but it is catching up to what it missed since the login wall

Upgraded my @ivory sub to yearly from monthly.

I’m ready for this to be a long term relationship

The interior angle of the pizza slice emoji in the Apple emoji set 🍕is 48.5556º, implying that the pizza was cut into a very awkward 7.4 slices. (Or that somewhere there exists another 48º slice and two corresponding 41.4444º slices)

Another way you can really help bird.makeup is finding any open source projects that integrates with any parts of Twitter that still work and send those to me. I’ll reverse engineer them and get new ways to crawl Twitter

Re: alternate ways of getting timelines

This is a critical call to make bird.makeup work. That’s how I get new tweets to forward to fediverse instances.

If I don’t find another public api call that’s still open to do that, I’ll have to pull out the big guns and use actual Twitter accounts to do the indexing.

I’ll probably do something where people can gift their old accounts to the project via the web UI.

Tbh I was expecting to have to do something like that much sooner
