discovered to my great dismay that in many serif typefaces the alignment of “f” and “y” together is in fact deeply unsatisfying

“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

Hallo #Politik-Bubble! Für alle, die den #Bundestag hier drüben gerne besser im Blick behalten möchten, habe ich fünf neue, kleine Bots gebaut:

  • Heute im Bundestag (hib-Redaktion) 👉 @bt_hib,
  • Aktuelles im Bundestag 👉 @bt_aktuelles,
  • Neue Gutachten und Ausarbeitungen der Wissenschaftlichen Dienste 👉 @bt_wd,
  • Neu veröffentlichte Plenarprotokolle 👉 @bt_protokolle,
  • Neu veröffentlichte Drucksachen 👉 @bt_drs.
  • Die Bots suchen alle 15 Minuten nach neuen Daten und sind damit immer aktuell.

    Freue mich über einen Boost, damit das möglichst viele Interessierte mitbekommen. Und an die Interessierten: Ich hoffe, das ist euch von Nutzen! ✨

    If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

    So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

    Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

    Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)

    Every time I post something that gets lots of engagement, I essentially end up carrying out a denial of service attack on myself. What does this say about the design of Mastodon and ActivityPub and the future of the fediverse?
