In 1998, two Stanford students published "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine," in which they wrote, "Advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of consumers."

I seem to have accidentally created an abstract image that reliably triggers #Twitter to suspend your account for awhile

To make it a bit of a fun/creepy coincidence, the image is based on a representation of Covid's RNA

The image in question is this one: imgur.com/a/v9qFjdA

It was supposed to just be an artsy follow up to my previous tweet. Its a representaton of Covid's genome but with colourful dots.
In order to further test this I made a couple new accounts:
twitter.com/SecretGioLab001
twitter.com/SecretGioLab002

(one using the VPN I usually use and one not to see if this was the reason) and sure enough, both got suspended upon posting it.

Open Source Intelligence (#osint) is based on the use of hundreds of open source tools. In my experience, the main problem of good #opensource tools is extremely LOW number of users.

In this thread I will tell how independent developers find their audience (free)🧵🧵⬇️ (1/14)
(2/14) Check how your product runs outside your computer.

For starters, try opening your Github repository at Gitpod.io (it's free online #Ubuntu).

This will show what the user will need to install to run
Ex: the Python modules to include in requirements.txt
(3/14) Test your product on different operating systems

Ideally, you should install several virtual machines on your computer. VM images can be found here:

Linux - osboxes.org

Windows (legal, free 90 days) - developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsof…

MacOS - developer.apple.com/documentation/…
