Well, I mostly restrict Twitter to my phone, and on there I use Twitter's own client 'cos I have got to like it. On my Mac I use Tweetbot On my Linux / work laptop I don't visit Twitter

I am sure that there must be a couple of decent desktop clients that run on Linux by now though

choqok seems pretty good and is in the Community repo for Arch so is an easy / hassle free install, but I say that as a KDE user, ymmv 😉

meh, I just open it up in firefox

dominicm12:08:56

But in Firefox I'm told I'm banned

😂 8

dominicm12:08:00

I would like a button to open with choqok from firefox, that would be handy

dominicm14:08:47

why are you enjoying it on this fine day? 🙂

dharrigan15:08:40

Hi, just saw your message. I'm enjoying it as it allows me to extract out functionality into modules then using the config.edn to wire them together very simply 😉

dharrigan15:08:54

easy peasy 🙂

dharrigan15:08:07

I guess you already know (and appreciate) that 🙂

dominicm15:08:33

It's nice to hear which specific elements are important though

dominicm15:08:47

what kind of modules are you finding breaking up into make sense?

dharrigan15:08:44

Well, I was putting a lot of jdbc stuff (using next jdbc) into namespaces that did work, thus moving datasources around the place. I was able to extract out the core jdbc fucntionality into its own namespace and simply pass back to the callees a fucntion that already had the datasource injected

dharrigan15:08:58

so moved the jdbc off to a side, made the callees cleaner 🙂

dominicm15:08:55

Interesting. We've talked about this sort of thing, but never really done it much. What kinds of jdbc functions did you end up with?

dharrigan15:08:15

let me show you (in a dm)

dominicm15:08:23

okay 😄

mamapitufo14:08:31

about that twitter error, for some reason if you add the www. at the front it works

dominicm14:08:56

that sounds helpful

dominicm14:08:06

I'll have to try that next time

mamapitufo14:08:10

yeah, it's not ideal, but I noticed that it works and given the number of twitter links I open, it's an acceptable solution :)

Olical14:08:19

If I follow any twitter link from slack (and a bunch of other sites including google) it won't load until I copy the URL into a new tab. They seem to explode when they see referrers they don't like?

mamapitufo14:08:55

ah, maybe that's it. Adding the www. makes it a non-referred request, I guess

Olical14:08:38

Yep, since the domain changed

dominicm14:08:40

I get it from google as my referrer

dominicm14:08:53

basically you have twitter as your homepage or piss off?

Olical14:08:05

I'm genuinely shocked they haven't fixed it. They must be seeing so many 500s

dominicm14:08:13

is it a 500?
