Can I make someone else's tweet my pinned tweet?

It’s time for @LaravelLiveUK ! Don’t forget to come by and say hello to the @jumptwenty4 team! Cast your vote on the really important topic! #marmite or #vegemite

The #marmite and #vegemite beef is real! Great slide by @Caneco if you’re at the @LaravelLiveUK event today then come and cast your vote at the @jumptwenty4 stand.

@OccidentalAvian ooh, so it is! thank you. Now fixed.

Hey @sil, just noticed that your Critical Role transcript search has both episodes 3x80 and 3x81 named as "The Eve of the Red Moon", I think because CR named 3x80 that by mistake and fixed it later. It should be "A Test of Trust".

@Samuraiko ah, then you're fine with me. More art in the world is a good thing, and you're already on that, so I'll happily take that as encouragement :) People do find the transcripts useful, which I'm pleased about; certainly I do myself!

@Samuraiko Don't worry about money for me. Maybe pick someone who needs the donation more -- artists are having it tough at the moment with all the AI stuff and art is good, so if you'd like to donate (and please don't feel you have to!) maybe to an artist you like? Tell them I said hi :)

@Samuraiko ok, reassuringly, the CR transcript search system has picked up the recent release of episode 1 of chapter 2 of #CandelaObscura and seems to have made it available. So that's nice; looks like it's working OK. Let me know if it works as you'd expect.

@Samuraiko OK, I think this is done and Candela Obscura transcripts are now searchable. Let me know if there's anything that seems wrong, especially after the release of Chapter 2.

@Samuraiko I’ll give it a try! I might need to wait until the second chapter starts to see how they get published on YouTube, but it should be doable

Take a look at Learn Privacy at #content-security-policy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">web.dev/learn/privacy/… for how to set up CSPRO on your sites so you can help protect your users' privacy. And if you like that and want me to write things for you, get in touch! #stuartwriting 6/6

Most of the time, the way you use the sites you build isn't the way that your actual users do. What CSPRO does for you is give you quiet feedback on what your users are experiencing: if your pages load loads of extra JS and pass back user info, you'll know. #stuartwriting 5/6

A #WebPrivacy tip. Most web pages use third-party stuff somehow; web fonts, images, videos, JavaScript. It can be useful (and eye-opening for you, the page developer) to see what these things actually do. Do you know about Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only? #stuartwriting 1/6

To know more about the facade pattern and other ways of using third party stuff without compromising your users' privacy as much, check out Learn Privacy at #best-practices-when-integrating-third-parties" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">web.dev/learn/privacy/… And if you like that and want me to write things for you, get in touch! #stuartwriting 4/4

You can make the "facade" look as much like the actual embedded thing as you want. Most sites that you might want to embed from -- YouTube, TikTok, Twitter -- support oEmbed so you can fetch a machine-readable version of the embedded thing #stuartwriting 3/4

A #WebPrivacy tip. When you embed a resource from somewhere else on your website -- a video, a tweet, an image, whatever -- you're also aiding the source of that info to track your users around the internet. It's your job to help avoid that. #stuartwriting 1/4

In practice, most developers and most businesses have no need to fingerprint users. If you make people sign in then they identify themselves to you with consent, and in a way they can unilaterally opt out of at any time they choose. This protects their privacy. #stuartwriting 4/5

A #WebPrivacy tip. Fingerprinting is the act of trying to covertly identify a user or distinguish one user from another by reading stuff about their setup. Web sites and web browsers can do this, and your job as a developer is to protect your users from it. #stuartwriting 1/5
