Does anyone know how Twitter views are counted?

According to the official website
>Anyone who is logged into X who views a post counts as a view, regardless of where they see the post (e.g. Home, Search, Profiles, etc.) or whether or not they follow the author. If you’re the author, looking at your own post also counts as a view.
>Multiple views may be counted if you view a post more than once, but not all views are unique. For example, you could look at a post on web and then on your phone, and that would count as two views.

From what I've read elsewhere, Twitter counts a view every time a post is displayed on a user's screen, regardless of if the person viewing it has already seen the Tweet. Can anyone confirm?

They ping the random.org API.

Big if true

Like 12 to 200, privated within 5 seconds of account creation, no followers, posts made after privating.

>>29216
Jesus christ! That definitely sounds sus.

Yes, yes selfhosting is the most privacyrespecting way, I know, but I'm not a richfag. So here is my idea:
I use something like lambda.chat with a VPN. Is this enough, to prevent them from creating a shadow profile of me? Or should I stick with duck.ai ? I like lambda.chat more, because it has Dipsy. What do you think?

Youtube is relentlessly attacking all proxies, from yt-dlp to invidious to materialious

Google/Chrome/Chromium is attacking adblocking infrastructure via base software design

This thread is for tracking this development and the hacked solutions produced by the resistance

You have enough storage at home to store all a youtube videos at home? Beside that, you would also need a recommending algorithm, so you can know, what to watch.

File: 1745429807229.png (383.27 KB, 720x1612, Screenshot_20250423-193507.png)

Ah, I love reading the comments on Youtube…

>>29256
Admittedly, it is not a very feasible strategy.
A better strategy would be having a list of all youtuber channel links in text, then visiting those channels with a crawler to determine new videos.

After stripping only the new ones, then potentially watching those ones, but furthermore using other video websites and doing the same for a customized feed.

>>29256
But of course having a recommending algorithm in there somewhere.

99% of the programming projects I see on github, reddit, HN, etc. are just programming tools for other programmers. "I made a data-processing library for the ButtFuck framework" "I made a fancy-pants syntax highlighter for Fartlang in vim" "I made a utility that tells you if your config file is blah blah blah" 10 billion stars on github with a bunch of badges and emojis of course. All this effort put into programmer tools and for what? So they can make more programming tools, I suppose?

The gods of programming have blessed mankind with the means of producing the most complex, ornate, beautiful machines they can dream of as a single individual without needing to worry about material or labor costs, safety or regulatory concerns, etc. and all programmers can imagine is "what if I made my shell a bit prettier." What a waste.

P.S. This is just me ranting, I know some people do make cool things, you're gonna have to just let me cook on this one

This is selection bias.

People open source things because they can't make a profit from them, because at least the attention is worth street cred.

You can't profit from making programmer tools, because programmers are already good at making tools for programmers, so you were never going to sell them anything. Thus all the programmer tools people make get open sourced in an attempt to salvage from street cred out of a non-monetizable project.

Hi I'm looking to make my own website to host articles and stories I've written. I wanted to do Wordpress but like I found out its going to put ads on my screen. I've got no money and no time to learn programming skills. Is there an open source version of Wordpress where it doesn't monetize everything and where I can change my font?

Also, static sytes generators like HUGO are a thing

>>22781
If a site like neocities is taking care of the hosting, and your password is half-decent, and you aren't accepting user input on your site, then it's extremely unlikely your site will get hacked.

If you find that fine to use, great. The plus side is that they can automatically manage blog things like pagination (the page numbers at the bottom) and post tags.

>>22778
whtevr method u decide on usin, share the url under this thread. if ur worried about le hackers, i'd be happy to pentest it free of charge.

I was also thinking about running my own blog. But then I realized, that I can just use leftypol to dump my schizo ramblings. This is much easier!

buy a domain for 2 euro and find a free hosting service i use www.freehosting.com

1. Are there any browser plugin options for using face detection to block youtube videos from suggestions / searches if the thumbnail has a detectable human face? Not anyone's face in particular, just any face.
2. If not, does this seem like a good beginner project for someone that hasn't made a browser plugin before, or am I underestimating the scope of such a thing?

>>29027
>Do human faces creep you out or something lmao.
It's not so much the faces as much as the context of their presence. I don't like that it's normal to show one's face on youtube to the point where it seems like the algorithm incentivizes it, and it's trendy to do a "face reveal" if you don't already show it.
In elementary school they has whole days dedicated to teaching internet safety, several tapes and stories about it. I strongly believe most people should be at most pseudonymous online when practical, so anything that stands to erode that is icky to me.

Showing your face on the internet should've never been normalized.

Bro really asked for an extension to hide soy faces on Youtube, thats hilarious.
Im all for it.

>>29029
Boomers have been posting their faces online since the mid-late 2000s

>>29029
That's why you wanted to filter vids with faces? I honestly thought it was because videos with soyfaces in the thumbnail are usually shit quality slop, and by blocking those search results the signal to noise ratio would be better.

Some soyjak party anon broke into 4chan after 4 years of work and dumped the source code + db with users and hashed passwords.
/ISG/ is currently talking about it.
There's a very active thread about this on kiwifarms
https://kiwifarms.st/threads/4chan.37222/page-475#post-21102680
And dev on twitter is doing some analysis on the code.

No. This is from the 3rd-parry archive 4plebs, and they classify memeflags as "Israel" in their statistics based on the joke/meme that they're all supposed to be Jewish. It's not literally true.

Pic related is the actual number of Israeli flag posts from the search. Slightly higher than Mexico in that list but not one trillion or whatever.

>Why would other anti-establishment underground anonymous factions be working against each other?

As a bored refugee, I think it is kind of hilarious.

>>Are we at risk here?
nobody is at risk except those that were stupid enough to give personally identifiable information to the website formally known as the asshole of the internet.

>>Are we next?
I assume all chan admins are taking a look at their codebases, but it sure looks like hiro (probably misspelled, but the guy that purchased 4chan from moot), really neglected even basic web practices. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

this titty konata was drawn by tf2 youtuber starykrow, for those who want the source

you could use cloudflare to reverse proxy, but you'd have to pay for separate business tier internet with a static ip and better upload speeds, which isn't available in all locations plus its gonna cost like $80 a month which is way more than budget VPS's

maybe ask the leftypol.org admins to create a board on this site and volunteer to mod it full time.

Self-hosting things in 2025 is a surefire way to ensure you'll spend thousands of hours fending off hackerman AI bots from state actors trying to spread their funnyware everywhere.
Not to mention that the target audience of imageboards will be very drawn towards getting lulz out of your infosec mistakes.

I'm not joking.
>their phones are more ergonomic and have a beautiful curved display
>their vertical foldables are almost as cool as Motorolla Razr
>their custom ROM has a pretty, minimalistic and ergonomic UI and has extra features that are actually useful
>their smartwatches are actually pleasant to use thanks to their rotating bezels
>One UI is based on Android so it's more customizable, yet it works smoothly and has sane defaults and nice default apps that seemlessly blend with the system like GNOME or KDE software
It's a shame they're proprietards who don't help FLOSS and patent everything. If only we could take over…

>>27112
all proprietards are shit
but apple is a special class of shit that i avoid in every way. everything about it is so hostile to user freedom. the overpricing, the glossy screens that drive you mad reflecting everything in the back, the lack of usable connectors/ports, the locked down OS that barely allows any configuration, the calculator keys for the laptop keyboard, the incredibly short charger cables, the lock-in (hard to run dual boot linux on apple pcs).
just everything about it is so anti-user, and then you have their captive audience that literally overpaid for shit products in the 90s just so that their beloved company wouldn't go out of business.

>>27112
I got my first samsung 2 months ago and its not that much better than my moto g tbh. Motorola has a better side panel feature and gaming mode

>>27216
There are many good-quality Android devices but the only interfaces that can rival One UI are Sailfish OS and sxmo imho. And that's 'cause I haven't yet tried those.

>>27115
yes. we are aware that people that have no idea what they are buying are being taken advantage of by Apple. that is why people try so hard to tell them android phones are better.

android phones do more, and cost less. the average consumer that is a brain dead idiot that knows nothing about phones would be better off buying a $200 android that does indeed Just Work.

The best phone I ever had was a huawei P20 demonstrating that whatever the despotic chaebols of worst korea can force their subjects to do, the chinese can copy and make better everytime

I personally wanna make a flipphone just to see how much is actually needed to do that. I wanna know if SIM cards are comically overengineered or comically simple, it's gotta be one or the other.
