A helpful person (@masukomi ) pointed out that Twitter archives don't even contain full-resolution images. Grrr! The first one I looked at was 600x809 in the archive. If I download it from Twitter appending ?format=jpg&name=large then it gives me an image that is 780x1052.

@timhutton@mathstodon.xyz @masukomi@connectified.com Ugh. Yay waiting a day for a half-assed archive.

@timhutton@mathstodon.xyz @masukomi@connectified.com Got my archive a day ago and did not have any of my bookmarks, it did have lots of”ads you may have seen lately “ though. So now going through them all and manually creating lists offline that are relevant for my research around NFTs, AI and IP law.

@timhutton@mathstodon.xyz @masukomi@connectified.com QQ: does this also have fetch/save alt text options? There's a web alt-text saver but it did not work for me.

@timhutton@mathstodon.xyz I tried to run twitter-archive-parser (https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser) but get error messages. Just to be sure I'm not trying in vain, is your code still valid?

@timhutton@mathstodon.xyz @masukomi@connectified.com that's pretty standard unfortunately -- Facebook did the same thing when I fetched my archive from them a few years back. It didn't occur to me to write a script to try to fetch larger versions though, so thank you for that!
