A few years ago, if I wanted to report a highway fault to Lancashire County Council, I could use a 3rd party app of my choice.
The council then decided they wouldn't accept reports from 3rd party apps, you had to report via their website.
Now they have decided that you can report by a 3rd party app, but only of their choosing!

so, twitter limits us to 5 accounts on the desktop website. which is kind of annoying because, in addition to the current 5 accounts i have on there, i want to also add the one that addresses exersise, but the 5 i have are the ones i more need. this is just one reason the move to ban third party twitter apps is/was annoying and even then kind of the same situation for reddit: there's little bits of features that different people will find useful and a ban on third party applications can sort of make a bit of a mess. i mean, financially, they want to consolidate a little bit i guess. and so, in a way, reddit is being *slightly* kinder? than twitter, in terms of, they're sort of still letting *a few* third party apps now like relay and redreader etc. even if they'll eventually be paid only, at least they'll still exist so that they can be used by *some* people.

Big Tech just keeps getting shittier and shittier.
I'm assuming this will affect Bacon Reader (my mobile reddit client)? If so, I'm pretty much done with reddit on mobile.

The World Economic Forum recently released its Global Cybersecurity Outlook for 2023 (https://lnkd.in/eaYRjDif). It's worth a read if you haven't yet.
One particular article and chart from that report caught my eye (https://lnkd.in/et2nQFdk) because it relates to research released this week by @cyentiainst and SecurityScorecard examining data on 230k orgs and their 73k 3rd/4th party connections.
In the image below, I've highlighted some findings from that report (in purple) that pertain to what the WEF learned from business leaders about their plans for managing geopolitical risk. I'd say implementing those plans won't be (have never been) easy...but there's good support for putting in the effort.

The online wake for 3rd party Twitter apps is certainly something. Celebrating the past, mourning the present, yet pointing forward.
Highlights the power of community but points up one of the deficiences of social media: In-person communal ingestion of intoxicants.

Apparently “long-standing” has a new meaning. According to the muskovites at Twitter it now means “after the fact.”
As in new rules after killing off 3rd party apps.
