Portions of Twitter's source code were reportedly leaked online

In yet another embarrassing development for new Twitter boss Elon Musk, court filings published Friday reveal that portions of the social media site's source code — the base programming that makes Twitter possible — have been leaked online.

Twitter claimed copyright infringement in an effort to have the offending code taken down from the Github collaborative programming network, where it had been posted.

A first look at using iMessage from a PC with Microsoft’s Phone Link app

When you receive a message that was sent via iMessage it will appear in Phone Link and you can reply and it will also be sent via iMessage so those all-important blue bubbles don’t get broken. But the experience isn’t ideal. You don’t get a full message history here, which means you’ll only see messages from when your PC was on and paired to your iPhone. Notifications for messages also still appear on your phone, so you might get done messaging someone and still see a notification for a message you’ve already read on your PC.

Every time the PC is rebooted or the Phone Link app is closed, the history is fully wiped.

Elon Musk says Twitter’s For You page will only recommend verified accounts

Twitter users will need a “verified account” to get recommended on the platform’s For You page starting on April 15th. Given that Twitter has promised to start dismantling the “legacy” verified system at the beginning of April, that appears to mean that you’ll have to be a company, government entity, or Twitter Blue subscriber if you want to pop into the feeds of people who don’t follow you.

Musk claims the move is “the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over.” Verified users are also going to become the only accounts that can vote in polls for the “same reason,” Musk says.
