@matigo Could you pick an unassigned value from the astral plane, or something not popular in the private use block? Or even send NUL as the separator?

@larand The very similarly named Medicaid might apply, though?

@matigo Yeah. It’s annoying and overbearing. So, typical Twitter.
Their Developer Policy [developer.twitter.com] clauses C3 and C4 do clarify the permission asking bits for me, though. So, that puts this to rest for me.
And yeah, sounds like backfeed done Indie-style needs explicit permission through opt-in.

@JeremyCherfas @matigo Point 1 regarding permission is in an interesting gray area with Tweets. Twitter’s contracts seem to say you’d be fine backfeeding as long as you preserve their display guidelines - developers are one of the parties they sublicense content to at their discretion, as the original author agreed to.
But then their display policies throw in a parenthetical hemhaw about how you maybe need permission in some cases, with zero further elaboration.
Searching for that contradictory line led me to a summary of all I worked out [media.gn.apc.org], but no further clarity. :\
@larand Oh yes, Chicago puts the pie in “pizza pie.” And pierogis…

@gtwilson I had local post office mark a prescription package as “undeliverable address” the day it was to be delivered, only to deliver it the next day. Inscrutable.
@matigo That “blocking” issue shows up elsewhere, too. You can circumvent a Twitter block by just logging out, unless the person’s tweets are protected - which would be the same as requiring auth to access an RSS feed.

@hazardwarning That “waffling on” is why I didn’t pick up any podcasts for a long time. Now I’m just choosy. Sometimes topic or interviewee overcome poor production and editing; often they don’t.
Rising intonation tends to get skewered by US speakers, too. Vocal fry, I can’t say - either I never encounter it, or I don’t notice it.
