Back end of Meta Threads is built with Python 3.10 with some interesting tweaks

It just dawned on me that linking to Twitter is now impossible on the open web. Unless you have an account, a person can not see the linked material.

This is a huge loss for the world, and makes me a bit angry.

Edit: I had falsely assumed that because GP missed out on the JITing etc. described in the linked tweet, that Twitter was still inaccessible to the open web. However, trying again now, Twitter is again viewable without an account. So Twitter's communication about needing an account to view it was lacking, but so was my diligence.

We are also in a transition period when most people and media have not realized this yet.

Yesterday, I read an article about Tour de France stage and it linked to about 4 tweets with videos which are not playable without an account.

I just hope this gets noticed by mainstream media and they change their practices instead of assuming that everyone has a Twitter account.

They removed the requirement to be logged in to view Tweets
