Ask HN: Nitter officially declared "over" today, alternatives?
The developer from bird.makeup is asking for donations of account tokens: https://www.patreon.com/posts/call-for-special-98167212
I'm also thinking about adding twscrape support to my https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser and extend its mirrors to Mastodon servers, but to be honest I can not afford (money- and time-wise) to get into yet-another project without at some minimal financial support.

Ask HN: What was the outcome of Reddit blackout?
It has been far from a stalemate. Reddit has won this battle, but the war is not over.
Saying that as someone been dedicating full-time since September to a project to help people migrate from Reddit to Lemmy [0], the truth is that there is simply no alternative yet for all the niche communities that are established there.
About a month ago, I posted here [1] about my project to try to make it easier to sign up and automatically discover/subscribe the Lemmy communities [2], but I wasn't expecting to have such a long tail of communities that need to be mapped out. The ~150 users that signed up to alien.top led to a discovery of about 6000 different subreddits.
I was doing the work of curation and creating alternative communities by hand, but I realized that was going to be an endless task. This is why I started working on a crowdsourced solution [3], which I launched last Friday

Show HN: Fediverser Portal. Bring your subreddits to Lemmy
I see https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser/issues/9 but I would be much more likely to use it if the oauth2 dance didn't ask for aggressive perms versus a "ask for all the perms then revoke them later"

Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends
> reddit redirect will randomly stop working
One of the goals from https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser is to mirror reddit discussions into different Lemmy instances. This coming week I'm planning to work on the part that lets you connect your reddit account to a respective Lemmy instance and migrate your posts. Would you like to try it out?

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
