Okay, I'm confused. You link to the Cory Doctorow post in which he notes that Canada is upset with him. He provides a link. That link leads to a Twitter which contends Canada is upset with Doctorow, and provides a link. Clicking on THAT link leads recursively back to the Doctorow post in a self-referential circle.

Is there any actual evidence that Canada has even noticed him?

At this point, I'm unsure.

# Friday, 0804: .@ZorkFox One word: Brad. (Not personally aware of all the history on this one myself but most questionable LJ legacy codebase = Brad.)

To be fair, I think, it's not so much questionable as it's just old. Ten years ago during the time, I don't know if any blog system used slugs. It's just not one of the things that LJ updated over the years. Some of that has to do, I think, with it not being as much of a priority on LJ as on other blogging systems, because of LJ's friends page delivery mechanism. Some of it might have to do with economy, too--LJ was squeezing every last ounce of hardware, and I think it's less computationally intensive to look up an indexed number in a database than translate a slug.

That's what I've been wondering!

So you know, your @-replies prefixed with '.' don't appear like old-style @-replies. Your client must be setting 'in_reply_to_status_id', which causes Twitter to vanish it regardless of anything else.

I suspect this will also screw up some people's RTs.

Fun. I'd hoped I could evade that with that trick, but it seems that I was correct and the people in #fixreplies were actually the morons I thought they were.

It does work, just so long as your client doesn't fill in that option. Twitterific for Mac doesn't fill it in, so it works there. Twitterific for iPhone does fill it in, so I don't do it on the iPhone.

Twitterific on the iPhone also fills it in when you retweet, so I suspect that no one would see anything I retweet from there either.

Stupid Twitter.

If your client doesn't fill it in, I think the new behavior is that it shows up whether or not you put something in front.

That's what they said they were going to implement, but who knows if they actually did?

Let's see. (I posted a test.)

Didn't see it, so looks like they never got around to setting up that thing they 'could do quickly'.

Meh.
