Eugen RochkoI've tracked down videos and GIFs not working on mastodon.social and mastodon.online to a rate-limit issue with our object storage provider and have raised a support ticket with them #devops

I find very random things amusing and will post them here. I get by with a little help from my pocket friends. (She/Her) **opinions are mine not my employer’s**
Sheril KirshenbaumI bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix
erinWell this was fun. A personal ask for anyone who may come across this #toot tonight.. please consider refraining from calling yourself a “Twitter Refugee”. There are millions of impoverished individuals fleeing their home because of war. If I’ve learned anything about #mastodonian culture in the last week, is that it is built on a foundation of respect. Thanks for listening. #welcome #twitterexodus #twittermigration
Qasim Rashid, Esq.This Twitter fiasco is a reminder of who is *actually* critical to the survival of our economy & society.
Twitter worked before the billionaire got here. Now that workers are gone, Twitter is collapsing. Workers made Twitter work—a billionaire broke it.
Workers > Billionaires
Emily L. HauserThis is pretty much what I've been thinking but... yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Here is my hottest take: I actually don't think this is the end of Twitter. I think what happens is, in this order: 1) Twitter crashes due to the World Cup, and/or some point in the next week becomes inoperable as it's staffed currently.

If this were true then there would have been over 6 full school years of strikes.
If this is how he does math No wonder negotiations are failing.
Also, promising not to take away things already in the existing contract is not negotiating. It’s threatening.
