Question 3 was a lucky guess. I probably should have got the country, and arguably the book… but I’m more of a Brontë person. (Sssh, yes, I know I got the last Brontë one wrong too.)
JA WestenbergThe "algorithm" era diluted journalism's essence. The AI era will decimate publishers who sacrifice their masthead reputation in exchange for cheap content.

FediTips has moved!In case you missed it, all links on Mastodon count as 23 characters towards your limit, no matter how many characters the link really is.
So, you don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon as they won't actually affect the link's length.
Mastodon does this because it's better for everyone's privacy to avoid link shortener services, it means people can see what they're clicking on, and the link won't stop working if the shortener service shuts down.
