An absolute kick in the teeth to all the indie devs who worked so hard to make Twitter a better experience for so many. Twitterrific was officially discontinued today and pulled off the App Store after 16 years of development. Among other firsts, they first used "tweet" to describe an update, first used a bird icon, and were the first native client on iPhone and Mac. https://blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/twitterrific-end-of-an-era/
Twitterrific: End of an Era • The Breakroom

Twitterrific has been discontinued. A sentence that none of us wanted to write, but have long felt would need to be written someday. We didn’t expect to be writing it so soon, though, and certainly not without having had time to notify you that it was coming. We are sorry to say that the app’s […]

Some things I have never understood about how people communicate on social media.
1. Unsolicited dick pick
It has happened a few times. I have always explained that I feel they are imposing on my intimate space, it's not offensive, it's just rude to assume someone wants to see your weird looking genitals. They always apologise and we talk about intimacy and what it means. I don't understand the outrage approach. How can people learn if they don't know? Monsterising them as abusers puts them on the defence and everyone walks away feeling a bit ashamed but nothing changes.
2. The word " woke" as an insult.
Is it a deficit not to sleepwalk through a capitalist nightmare of a world?
3. Politician worship. They are literally not even good people. Any of them. They excel at being societies biggest shitcunts.
It's finally happened.
I feel completely disconnected from the matrix. People still arguing about the viability of old white men controlling the planet. People still defending wealth hoarders. People complaining about property loss from those starving and with nothing to loose. Society is unravelling as is the planet. I'm on the outside looking in . It's ugly and stupid.
Congrats humans.

@ozwobbly haha they do. They love double bouncing each other off it. I'll take a video next time I see it. It's pretty funny.
@ozwobbly I got one off roadside pick up for the baby goats. I spend more time on it than they do
@MarkDeasy I'm sorry but west Papua is a part of PNG is it not?
Totally sickening to see Albanese in PNG while Australia has been arming Indonesia to commit genocide there.
I am writing a book this year. It's just about me and what makes me who I am. It's not because I think I'm any extraordinary person, or that my human experience is so unique. It's because I have alot of shit to say and I want to say it.
@MacropodCare I am not a guy, I dunno. I house 14 young men who were at risk of incarceration. Mostly because I'm an abolitionist and think most human ills can be cured by stability , security and equity. I'm not wrong.
