He said he moved to Romania because in the West only rich people can bribe their way out of trouble, now he's saying the Romanians only arrested him because he's rich. It's hard being Andrew Tate. If there is ever a court case the prosecution will just have to show his youtube videos saying how to be a pimp, avoid paying taxes by demanding payment in bitcoin, how to control women, how he made friends in the Romanian mafia to get protection, etc., etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Not content with sabotaging 3rd party apps twitter doubles down on it's every cent is a prisoner mantra Twitter is eliminating access to its API, but the once-free comms integration will still be available to those who want it – for a price. "Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead," Twitter's developer account said this morning. Claiming its dataset is "among the world's most powerful," Twitter said it was committed to enabling "fast and comprehensive access" to devs wishing to create features and apps linked to the social media platform or draw on its data, more details of which would be shared next week. That's all the Elon Musk-owned company had to say on the matter, so now it's up to those who still have Twitter API access – researchers, data scientists and the like – to determine how they'll cope with the loss of access to data necessary to their work. Paid Twitter API access has previously been available for those with heavy use needs. App developers who used Twitter's API had a similar rude awakening on January 14 when Twitter killed a number of third-party clients with no official word as to why. Justification came later, on January 17, when Twitter said it was beginning to enforce "long-standing API rules" that didn't appear in the site's developer agreement for another couple of days. On January 19, the developer agreement was updated to add language making it against the terms of the deal to use Twitter's APIs "to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications." Several popular third-party Twitter applications, like Iconfactory's Twitterrific and Tapbots' Tweetbot, have been discontinued by their developers in response. Others that remain working, like TweetDeck wrapper Tweeten, have expressed solidarity with developers affected by the decision and have said they're unlikely to continue updating the app. Iconfactory cofounder Gedeon Maheux told The Register that, while it looks like Twitter learned from the "debacle of just switching off third-party access," it's but a tiny improvement for the "thousands of developers out there" who are still going to find themselves without access. Maheux said he wasn't surprised Twitter decided to remove free API access, but he was still upset. "Twitter has thousands of outside developers who have built useful tools, games, and analytics on the platform that will now all have to be scrapped," Maheux told us. Cutting off API access looks like it's just the latest in Musk's attempts to turn Twitter profitable. The billionaire is curretly facing lawsuits accusing him of leaving the company's bills unpaid, while late last year one of his first moves as boss was to make verification checkmarks available for $8 a month, causing a spate of brand impersonations from which it's unclear the company has recovered. As to whether the move will make Twitter money, that's not clear at all. Maheux doesn't appear to believe so, and said Twitter is squandering what good will remains between the platform and developers. "Few if any of these small devs will be able to afford the kinds of access they had prior which will only speed Twitter's eventual self destruction," Maheux opined. Twitter didn't respond to our questions. ® 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In laymans terms an API (application programming interface) is a way for two or more computers to interact with each other. Use of the API enables an individual or organization to do lots of different things one of those happens to be 3rd party apps. It's not users having to fork up money but rather developers/organizations who use the twitter api for whatever purpose they need.

"In computing terms, for what does the A stand in API?" Think I went for Applied. Edited February 3, 2023 by jimbaxters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
