New release of xword-dl, my command line crossword puzzle scraping software, now available on PyPI. This release fixes New Yorker downloads and some WSJ bugs. I'm even prouder that I seem to have gotten GitHub Actions working on a first attempt to automatically tag and upload releases!

Seeing people doubt the technological genius and humanitarian nature of Elon Musk, but have you considered that earlier this year he launched the largest rocket ever off a flat slab, hurling chunks of concrete thousands of feet in every direction, destroying his launch site and a wildlife preserve?

“While it is clear that Trump fans don’t care about the former president’s misogyny, might they care about the claims he sexualized his own daughter? ... They’re the people triggered by a book about seahorses, for God’s sake, because it contained too many details about their mating rituals. And yet, they have no problem voting for a guy who pays off porn stars and allegedly fantasizes about his daughter. Republican family values in action.”

Mastodon Feed#macOS #Sonoma beta is pretty unstable.
It is incompatible with Xcode 14, and Xcode 15 crashes for me way more than usual. My fav clipboard manager FlyCut is incompatible. Menubar sometimes renders text gray-on-gray. Auto-hiding Dock sometimes doesn't appear.
Mastodon Feed⚠️ We are planning to release important security fixes for #Mastodon on July 6th, between 13:00 and 15:00 UTC. They will be available for the 4.1, 4.0 and 3.5 versions as well as a nightly release, to make the upgrade as small and painless for everyone as possible. Be ready to upgrade!

LOL this is not how you deal with "data scraping," this is how you deal with a catastrophic loss of system capacity.
You limit data scraping by blocking things a human user couldn't do, like access a thousand posts a minute. This is aimed directly at reducing normal activity across the whole system.
