Cawbird - Linux Twitter Client

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 22:24:38 +0800

Peace be upon you and hello everyone!

Have you heard Corebird before? It a twitter client for linux desktop user but the project (and others 3rd party twitter client) stopped when Twitter decide to remove “UserStream API”.

Twitter actually replace that API with new ones called “Accounts Activity API”, but the Corebird developer stated it too difficult to implement and he may not have much time for development anymore. So the project was discontinue since 2018 and honestly, Corebird are the best GUI twitter client for linux.

Press here to skip the rant

I checking my email today and saw Bret Busby posted on Ubuntu-users mailing-list asking about “How do we disable the snap stuff” and likely it trigger some Ubuntu kipas-susah-mati replies when he typed:

As this snap stuff can not be trusted to not make unauthorised changes , and, cannot be trusted to not sabotage the system operation (this unauthorised snap interference probably explains the error messages that I have been getting, about incomplete and partial upgrades and resultant systems instability across my systems), how do we disable this malicious snap thing?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

Assalamualaikum wbt dan salam sejahtera kepada semua pembaca..

Ok kali ni aku nak cover-up sebuah portal dan produk yang dah hilang dari radar since 2014 (kalau tak silap) hingga kini. Penulisan ini adalah berdasarkan penglibatan aku secara tak langsung dan pengalaman bersama komuniti tersebut.

Komuniti “Mambang.org” atau “Mambang.org.my” atau lebih mudah disebut “Mambang” adalah sebuah komuniti opensource tempatan yang sangat berahsia binti misteri tapi mempunyai banyak khazanah dan produk yang bagus.
