Little known fact, RGB pimping your computer attracts cats

Twitter to Mastodon migration tip: you can set your Twitter account to private ("Protected") so only people who follow you can see your tweets (and you get to decide who can follow you).

This is great if you want off that service but don't want anyone else to get your handle or impersonate you, as well as perhaps stay in contact with people who don't want or can't migrate over here.

This setting is here:

The Phantom Menace is now older than A New Hope was when The Phantom Menace was released

Changed my profile header image to something appropriate for both #retrocomputing and #astrophotography.

@Gargron I’d love to beta test and have experience with being a beta tester for several other iOS apps, big and small. :)

In Soviet Twitter, server leaves you

Now witness the firepower of this armed and fully operational processing station (and yeah I need to do some cable management)

Maricopa county has had enough (it’s an actual verified account, not a Twitter Blue fake one)

What a time to be alive

The real checkmark that we haphazardly bolted on, delayed deployment on, prematurely announced, deployed half-baked and two days later removed again are the friends we made along the way

This button is actually an error message I'm getting in the Twitter web interface when trying to change my name.

Friends, BACKUP YOUR TWITTER DATA (you can request and export in Twitter's account settings).

Fun, Twitter's web app started to try to download data and code from their internal servers.

Clearly they really know what they're doing now they they fired half their team!

Twitter’s CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is throwing the towel and I can’t blame them. https://twitter.com/leakissner/status/1590706305102381058?s=46&t=Rx54BFkpYPidxACw-Pzzuw

@Alisca I raise you

It’s only a toot if it comes from the Mastodón region of France. Otherwise it’s just a sparkling fart.

Thinking of blocking the entire journa.host instance.

Definitely some great people on there, but also complete scum; and they’re “debating” CW’s are “worth the effort” etc.

C’mon, be good neighbors. It’s not hard.

@Gargron hang in there. I’ve upped my monthly Patreon to $10, I hope it helps a little to cover hosting costs and maybe a larger team
