I woke up this morning to find a Twitter thread I posted yesterday about the massive number of hacks against Russia, and DDoSecrets, went viral. It's at 20k likes and notifications are scrolling by way too fast to follow https://twitter.com/micahflee/status/1516521193808875527?t=vpQBgml3tWONQfCFIFBthg&s=19

I don't understand how people vote on election day. Every election I get a ballot in the mail, then I have to schedule ~2 hours to research the candidates and figure out who to vote for. When I've voted on election day before, I bring a piece of paper with my research with me

If you want to delete all your old Twitter DMs (which I think is a good idea even if Twitter might retain copies of them somewhere), and also your historical likes, RTs, and any tweets you don’t want to keep, I made a Twitter app for that.It’s called Semiphemeral and it’s pretty easy to use. I posted instructions for how to do it https://twitter.com/semiphemeral/status/1591258781098594304?s=46&t=L4aWvmyNxEFRL6eULgeO-A

I've been writing a lot of code for semiphemeral.com, to help people delete tweets and DMs, but the Twitter API keeps lying to me. In many cases, when I call:DELETE direct_messages/events/destroyTo delete a DM, the API responds with a 404 status code, and error code "34 - Sorry, that page does not exist." when that DM definitely exists.Super frustrating that Twitter's API seems a bit broken.

Hey did y'all know that I've been hard at work writing a technical book for No Starch Press that teaches journalists and researchers how to investigate hacked and leaked datasets? It's called Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations, and it will be published some time next year https://nostarch.com/hacks-leaks-and-revelations

I just noticed that Mastodon has Semiphemeral-like features built in, like in your preferences. So fucking cool
