A trick I learned (I think from @film_girl) a while ago is that if you create `~/Developer`, you get a cool sidebar icon in Finder. That's where all my code goes now.

So I've been secretly in a cold war with some weird crypto bros for like 6 months now, and worryingly in the last couple days it's looking like they've won. They wanted my Instagram handle, and somehow they've now got it. Without my consent. And it's kinda scary. Strap in for a toot storm (is that what we call it?) [1/16]

One way to look at it is that the Dallas Cowboys haven’t lost a Super Bowl in 45 years.

Finally a starry night here on Waiheke. I took a few photographs, using a Pixel 6 and a tissue box as a makeshift tripod.

When you lock the doors to keep people from leaving your party, it means the party is over.

#ElonMusk is so weak / desperate he is punishing #Twitter users for linking to other social media sites. Read more about the absurd policy here https://help.twitter.com/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy

Imagine AT&T preventing you from setting up call forwarding or even listing T-Mobile numbers on business stationary. We should have owned our social graphs from the start, not companies.

Apple should run its own ActivityPub network. It would be the most affordable “takeover” of Twitter and perhaps its best and last chance to run a viable social network (aside from iMessage).

Just verified with a Twitter test account:

Twitter is now blocking all links to well-known Mastodon instances (including mastodon.social and hachyderm.io) from being tweeted or added to profiles.

Best-case, a heuristic is broken, and it probably has no staff to run it anymore. That's my most optimistic theory, and even I'm not naive enough to believe it at this point.

“Free speech", my ass.

Freedom doesn't hide alternatives from you or try to prevent you from leaving.
