Programming is chaotic magic. There are no rules. You ask a game dev “Can the player summon a giant demon that bursts from the ground in an explosion of lava?” and they’ll say “sure, that’s easy” and then you’ll ask “can the player wear a scarf?” and they’ll go “oof”

I did a… certain tweet two weeks ago. Something about insulin. You probably saw it.

Anyway, here’s why I did it:

Argentina looking more like themselves now. #WorldCup

Just thinking that since we don't have a "quote tweet" here, I wonder if people are using something like LRT (essentially "regarding Last ReTweet") like we did before quote tweets were a thing. I guess it would be LB or RLB (regarding last boost)? So anyway...

RLB - Give that thread a quick read. That history of the Fediverse is really interesting and I really didn't know anything about it other than Mastodon.

There it is Messi! He may have just saved Argentina! #WorldCup

Since Mastodon saw its initial popularity circa 2017, I've noticed that most users and those reporting on it either don't think about the Fediverse as anything more than Mastodon, or treat its history as beginning with Eugen Rochko and the beginning of Mastodon. In fact, Mastodon is the latest in a long line of federated social networks going at least back to Identi.ca, and though I wasn't around for all of it, I find this history pretty interesting. (Thread; boosts welcome!)

@dave78pdx Feel the same way. Bouncing back and forth with my allegiances as this game rolls on.

@iMike Wow! Makes me feel like I'm in my 20's again. Not sure that's a good thing! 😁

@renatolond I got the Crossposter set up and it appears that everything is working (new tweets to Masto, new Toots to Twitter, RTs to Masto)... however, it seems that Boosts are not showing up on Twitter. Any thoughts about why?
