I checked the index and it didn't mention Edóuard Siddon at all, did they even do any research for this?
[edit: clarifying since this thread is getting boosted like wildfire; this is a joke, it's actually good to see more opportunities for people to find a way out of the capitalist social media hellscape an on to our lil network here]
@technomancy what ...
... what does the book say about day three on Mastodon
@selfsame @technomancy Primary school joke.
Why are elephants large, grey and wrinkled? Because if they were small, white and smooth they'd be an Aspirin.
What excites me most about Mastodon is that it feels like the World Wide Web I fell head-over-heels in love with in 1993. It's a community of people who are having conversations and sharing their interests and ideas in an advertising-free environment without having their actions monitored and tracked.
@FiXato I can't tell if it was here where I shot the footer. I hadn't seen it for the least.
This guy said he’s the author and posted this pic of him with the book.

Attached: 2 images My wife and I went to Barnes and Noble in Brookfield, Wisconsin yesterday to get pictures of "Mastodon for Dummies." The staff person who helped us find the shelf had me sign the book. Afterwards she said she'd add an "Author signed" sticker to the cover. That was fun!
I was going to make an “Eternal November” joke. Googled it first and stumbled on this:

😂
@mirabilos @technomancy
I think November is considered the Start of the mass exodus of Twitter users to Mastodon.
Musk’s acquisition was Oct 28
First round of (non-executive) layoffs was Nov 4th
@ccunning well local to the Twitter→Fediverse move thing
Eternal September is because “every” university starts with new students every year in September, which is when they were unleashed at Usenet…
@Rosiel7 @technomancy I just read a blog post by one of the authors about why they wrote the book, they seem like genuine people!

@technomancy psh, REAL idiots on mastodon don't need a single guidebook at all. It just comes naturally to us! Now we're gonna be overrun by fake, book-taught idiots :(
- signed, a concerned idiot.
@pim @technomancy Nope! It was written by me and @workingwriter, and I'm proud of it.
Here are my thoughts about AI writing and why you'll never see anything with my name on it that was even partially written by AI:
