@tomcoates I don’t know. It’s just been quietly chugging along behind the scenes for years now. I’ll take a look tomorrow and see what’s wrong.

@dopiaza Hey dude, has the Set Manager finally died? :(

just setting down my twttr

So, Twitter appears to have killed third-party apps. That's it for me, I'm done. I might check in from time to time to read @fesshole, but that's it. @robmanuel please migrate to Mastodon.

Clearing up the kitchen at the end of Christmas Day to @tracey_thorn’s Tinsel and Lights which is keeping me going after a long day.

If you're thinking this isn't a good place to be anymore and you're looking to move, I've set up my own server in the other place. I intend to keep it small and limit it to people I know, either online or in real life - you can find a link in my bio, or DM me for more info.

@seldonscott @gregfallis But Friday I’m in love.

@SamanthaMalin Overnight at least. If you have a pressure cooker though, you can cook without soaking very quickly. Depends on type and age of bean, but around 30 mins.

@fesshole I’d love to know how you got to casually drop “glyph” in there.

My wife doesn't know but, I drop the answer to Wordle into casual conversation each morning. I like to think this subliminally helps her in the very competitive daily Wordle competition she has with her work colleagues. She's now winning.

@tomcoates OK. You made me do it.

One thousand two hundred of the 3700 remaining staff left. Teams cut to three from 100. Absolute lunacy. The whole thing. nytimes.com/2022/11/18/tec…

@tomcoates @yoyoel I might have to succumb. I’m seeing that too often at the moment.

@tomcoates @yoyoel “You’ve reached your limit of free articles.” :-(

I was pretty frustrated with @yoyoel in his last few weeks at Twitter. He seemed to spend most of his time putting an entirely disingenuous favorable gloss on the dangerous bullshit of Musk. Apparently having left he now feels more able to speak freely. nytimes.com/2022/11/18/opi…

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

@SamanthaMalin Just use SamanthaMalin. Your address will then be @SamanthaMalin@whatever.server.you.chose

@gregfallis Migration is easy. There are instructions here: #migration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/#m… - to take followers with you, you want ‘move’ not ‘redirect’. The “very heavy cooldown period” it refers to is 30 days.

I have my own Mastodon instance up and running and now I think I've got the hang of things, I'm opening it up to people I know - the idea is to keep it small and cosy. If we know each other, and you're looking for a home in the Mastodon world, check it out masto.dopiaza.org

This is a good thread. Well worth reading.

@jayforeman Voldemort (he/she who cannot be named)

What do you call your smart speaker when you’re talking about it behind its back?

@SamanthaMalin Nope. I’ve never seen it. I’m aware that it exists, but never watched.

@SarahChampion I’m so sorry. It’s hard losing a long-time companion.

Buckley: 1 Sep 2007 - 4 Nov 2022 Oh my beautiful boy, what a joy it’s been to love you for 15 years And what a privilege to have you pass away peacefully in my arms “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die” Thomas Campbell

I’m not abandoning this place just yet, but you can now find me on Mastodon at @dopiaza@masto.dopiaza.org
