@A_Porcupine I remember the time the iPhone shipped with wireless charging, and we had to go dig out the Qi chargers from some hidden cupboard in the Techstop, because the Nexus / Pixel phones had dropped the the year prior.

My experience on Mastodon is becoming increasingly more interesting as more of the people I follow establish a presence there. At this point it’s far outweighing Twitter for me. For the rest of you, I sincerely hope to see you there one day.

@wsdot I don’t see it.

Uh oh. Looks like we've got some real issues on White Pass.

If you have not yet, now seems like a good time to download the archive of your Twitter data.

@cstrauber @rmondello As someone who truly does not know how to pronounce their own last name (Due to it being introduced to me in marriage), I respect your take, but please don’t ask me how to pronounce it, I really can’t 😅

Everyone is also right about how to pronounce their own name. This is the exact same courtesy.

@cabel The scary part is some people *can* stop thinking about it, and blissfully enjoy their meal.

Yes, you can mute and block, but that will never fix the room. It’s like eating in a restaurant where the owner yells at the staff. Sure, you try to ignore it, and keep eating. But you’re always tuned in, and can’t stop thinking about it. And neither can anyone else in the room.

@AVinkestijn @LadyMpire @CultOfAlan @Marc_IRL @Oviraptor_ And in no small part thanks to meeting you there, I have a successful career. What a decade.

@LadyMpire @CultOfAlan @Marc_IRL @Oviraptor_ I think this is were a lot of our paths started to meet for the first time. I remember being told that I was 4th out of the top 10 for the build contest. I think my build even made it into the video for some seconds.

Minecon Paris was ten years ago. Time sure flies.

For those of you who, like me, are deciding to give the fediverse a chance, I can be found at @philip@mallegolhansen.com Shoutout to Elon for pushing me to finally take ownership of my experience, like I've said I would do for so many years.

@Kappische No.

Any idea when UK/US will start using the metric system? Thought they were modern countries..? 🎅🏼

@morvelaira Those are not mutually exclusive.

Hello, my name is Laira, and life is pain. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something. ... or has the good painkillers.

@Wyld @Graphoniac I know, I know. If you don’t laugh you’ll end up crying. But for a marketing email specifically, that shows no sign of being written this way due to some hemisphere mixup, it’s a bit odd.

@Graphoniac @Hanse00 It's funny, because there's an entire fucking hemisphere that feels just like you, Hanse.

Ah yes, summer.

@mairE_keyL @sordideuphemism @ZoeSchiffer @imyke Oof yeah, that’s a hard no. I can’t imagine buying last minute tickets to SF, if you can’t be absolutely confident the expense is actually going to be paid.

@Hanse00 @sordideuphemism @ZoeSchiffer @imyke There's this It's already backlogged & some expense reports seem to have 'disappeared'

NEW: Email from Elon to the engineering team: "Anyone who can actually write software, please report to the 10th floor at 2pm today. Before doing so, please email me a bullet point summary of what your code commits have achieved in the past 6 months" 1/

@ZoeSchiffer @imyke Assuming *at the very least* those flights can be expensed right? Right?!

I am having a difficult time believing this is real and I am looking at the emails.

Yes I’m aware Twitter accounts can be private these days diminishing my point, yes I’m aware Reddit is still out there. But by and large the open web, browsable by anyone, is becoming increasingly less popular. What used to be public forms, are now private chat apps.

The potential death of Twitter brings us closer to the end of the open forums of the internet as we used to know them. With many people moving in the direction of platforms like Discord, the “You can just point your browser at an address and see” nature of the web is dwindling.

@LexManos We’re gonna need a bigger floppy.

@MrFlamegoat Mastodon seems like the right tool for me. Hosting my own vs. yet another platform makes the choice work for me.

After Twitter burns down where's everyone going? Serious question, what's your alternative social fix?
