Twitter: increasingly draconian attempts to wipe out third-party app ecosystem
Mastodon: someone made an app for mid-00's PDAs https://github.com/NattyNarwhal/PocketToot (source: https://cronk.stenoweb.net/@calvin/99937490127548729)
@nev that 3rd party app thing is a major factor in my decision to leave Twitter. (My client doesn't work? I'll just login to the website then. And delete my account.)
They created this crisis by relying on in-band advertising.
@nev I demand a PalmPilot client now :D
seriously, i kinda want to go back to my palmpilot...
@wohali I'm sure the hackers are on it
@nev this is awesome haha
@nev Hoping somebody can maybe make one for 3DS soon. Maybe even Wii for funsies
@badwrongfun @nev oooo this would be interesting...hmmm now I wanna make one for DS
@badwrongfun @nev I wish I could make one for my 3DS 🤔
@nev I need one for my PSP
@nev yes this is a good toot
@nev just another example why businesses shouldn't develop core social infrastructure.
@nev To be fair though it's perfectly possible for a Mastodon server host to restrict the app API, but that's left to the server host and so far there aren't any besides the one McAfee forked that do it like that.
@AudioRCA also if I understand you correctly it would just be individual servers, not every server everywhere (because it's not part of the software)
@nev Yes it would be up to the host to make those choices. Just like they can choose which servers to federate and which ones not to.
@nev @complications seems potentially relephant
@nev
>Windows Mobile 5.0 supports TLSv1.0
wow
@nev good toot
