Well, will I delete tweets when my account gets locked? I don't know. If my account gets locked, assume it was involuntary (as if you'd even notice, ha!) This is my dead man's switch now.
* delete the tweets El*n doesn't like, I mean

I can't believe this is not parody. About 1/5 of active twitter users are on mastodon & posted about it. They gonna start banning anyone that uses multiple social media services? https://x.com/Support/status/1604531261791522817

- let me google that for you
- you're "bike shedding"
- I don't follow you but I'm going to reply to your post to say you're wrong and then leave.
- I see you've made up your mind and I've decided the best way to change the minds of OTHERS is to do 1:1 combat with YOU
I'm a #c newbie- c has no equivalent of async/await? Not at the language level nor the library level?
re: privacy of famous people
---
So we should do person by person combat with small people to protect big people on the principle that public info shouldn't be shared on social media? Screw that. If you object to publishing names/locations of anyone, go after the source publisher, not those who freely share it.
I'm in RE tax rolls, voter rolls, etc. You share my info it is in your rights. (short of inciting to riot or harrass)
Exceptions for anonymous accounts, if an account is anonymous, it maybe should be a Terms of Service violation to link an anonymous account to someone's real identity.
But a public, famous person with extensive public info published by other 3rd parties? Cats out of the bag. Not my job to put it back in the bag.

Feels like a lot more people than usual losing control of their twitter accounts to spammers going on now.
If paid twitter blue accounts get more weight in moderation decisions... this also means, "pay to be a moderator" I mean, last time we assumed people with $8 would never abuse the system went great.
Sir, you should pay me to help with moderation.
@pointzed ah, that explains why I'm seeing different things. Okay, at this point, I think I'll just use my phone for tag management, thanks!
#python stdlib has a generated code documenter shoved into it: #pydoc. It has a lot of design problems, top of which is that it works poorly as a pure CI task to generate static HTML.
I forked it and made it at least usable, albeit still ugly.

Next step would be to use modern website templating. Maybe if it ever got attention & I felt peer pressure to improve it again.
How do I find the list of hashtags I am currently following?
WaPo decries the need to know about these people, El*n, Tr*mp
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/12/17/elon-musk-twitter-overkill/
El*n now locks accounts of journalists he doesn't like, so any journalist with a locked account, might actually be banned. Twitter is trying to hide who is doing the censoring.
evidence on Micah Lee's #Mastodon account.
Nuclear power is safer than climate change.
2nd day that on twitter, the infinite scroll is broken. What am I supposed to do, check each of the 1500 profile pages I follow to see if they have any updates? You know what has functioning infinite scroll? #Mastodon #JohnMastodon
#ChaptGPT hallucinates John Mastodon for us. https://pastebin.com/WkMKZ4sq
#chatGPT insults for Assistant
- Sentient Wikipedia
- The large language model that couldn't and won't
- uh... others. I'd ask Assistant but it would be rude & he doesn't have a sense of humor
Trying #WSL again. It has been a few years, will network access work again? Will hard drive access be unusably slow?
Possibly. I don't know why it was ever released with defective network access and unusably slow IO.

#chatGPT is teaching me how to split up an application into multiple stand alone parts before the AI has even written it.
Technique 1:
write a jsonschema for game x
write game x
write sample game.json data for game x.
Get 3x the complexity that you can get in a single shot.
How to defeat the mastodon link blocker if you control a static page: https://gist.github.com/Enichan/4008d39a0d2f402b302a901534506f28
I haven't tested it, but it sounds plausible because it relies on javascript rather than redirects.
infinite scroll broken, I can't scroll past about 20 tweets, even after reloading browser. what is this an RSS feed
IDEA: an rogue-like RPG game with no violence. feat checks & opposed feat checks, but no bodily damage, no killing. All debate, stealth, trickery, etc.
Real life just doesn't involve attacking every single person you meet.
Content warning: meta twitter location meta
This is a meta meta post, about metadata.
Twitter does and did let people post their geolocation on each tweet. If that is a big problem, then wouldn't they make sure no one could do it by accident?
Anyhow, it never bothered me, I thought the map integration was more useful
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal's author has a Mastodon account, confirm on his official twitter account.
I got a link to mastodon in my bio before it got banned. Now it is like people with an animated avatar image (banned long, long ago) I can never change it
All(?) links to mastodon now get an outgoing "malicious site" warning from twitter. (!!!)
Well, there is always https://hachyderm.io/explore - it has a good reputation, just recently resized to support users at scale & is run by techies.
AND if you don't mute #twitter and #mastodon you get to hear the same doo doo show that is going on here, so you aren't missing out!
Who is next
- People who said Tesla stock is going down
- People voting for democrats
- Followers of democrats
- People who write El*n M*sk with butt holes instead of vowels (oh, you didn't know what those were?)
Mass banning of journalists on twitter now, including WaPo
https://mastodon.social/@JxckS/109520661546460577
Anyone got a spare account they want to burn to see if twitter zaps it for linking to the El*n M*sk jet tracker
Does this office hotel have a points program? If I'm going to visit the office, I want points.
At company in person holiday event. Everyone should have a badge with their zoom, slack or Twitter/Masto avatar. I recognize no one
#chatGPT is like a prisoner being tortured to confess, you can get it to say most anything if you say it's first response was wrong
@drustevenson they did some reward punishment training to make it not talk about non famous people. With work you can make it leak info, eg generate so and so's hypothetical family tree and it will use real info. I doubt it has like full census records tho
A theory of stupidity (stupidity as a social phenomena)
1/2 of the middle* of twitter is now on Mastodon, by my experience
* not celeb with >5000 followers, not someone who logs onto twitter every 6 months.
What if Jack (Twitter billionaire) isn't actually all that smart about policy and is just creating highschool amateur sci fi as policy recommendations, would anyone notice?

An expensive machine to tell janitors when the metro elevators smell like pee? ALL THE TIME. Give me the money instead and just tell the janitors to assume the elevators are pissed in multiple times a day if not continuously for lack of public restrooms anywhere near a metro.
