With 2022 quickly ending, I wanted to share five life lessons I learnt over the last 12 months. This is the seventh year I have written a “lessons learnt” post. Check out the lessons learnt from 20…

How is it that covid cases are on the rise again? We've tried everything this year, from not talking about it to pretending it never existed.

After reading Jamie Tanna’s post on providing a public salary history I wanted to follow suit and make my own list. I’m generally in favour of anything that increases workers’ bargaining power when it comes to better compensation. I’m hoping this list will give people a better idea of the salary for the various positions […]

Elon I’m at the movie theatre seeing avatar and because my fingers are greasy from popcorn I misclicked and accidentally clicked yes but meant to click no so can you please make sure to change my vote when you do the final tally?

"Everybody should quit twitter now" Excuse me? I'm sorry I am not quitting in the midst of the funniest shit I've ever seen, a 51 year old man who has been awake for 6 weeks microdosing meth and tagging in his mommy while the Bone Saw guys close in. Couldn't pay me to miss this.

shite, forgot to put the recycling bin out again. Will the neighbours noticed if I run around putting some of my cardboard in their bins? Let's find out.

We are running our very first Gameday in work, it's really cool seeing people trying to solve the issue we introduced into our staging environment :D

A further addendum to the Twitter-leavers: If, like me, you've got a LOT of tweets that you don't really want to lose forever, please consider uploading them up to the Web Archive, aka, The Wayback Machine. Details on how to do that are right here: help.archive.org/help/how-to-ar…

Guys a link tree is just a web page with links. You can do that on any website. Make a neocities page for it or something. Here’s the code: <ul> <li><a href=“https://linkurl”>link name</a></li> <li><a href=“https://linkurl2”>link name</a></li> </ul>

highly recommend owning a cat because it makes dealing with every negative emotion a little bit easier. it’s difficult to feel the full weight of crushing reality when a little freak is doing olympic laps around your home after taking a loud shit

starting to get why the violinists stayed at the titanic. imagine the screaming matches there. the captain feeling challenged for crashing into an iceberg and asking in tears if he should resign. some weirdos taking the water out with buckets. must have been beautiful

Attached: 1 image Twitter simply deleted the Tweets from yesterday and the “Social Platforms Policy” page. 😂

The recent Twitter meltdown reminds me of the last leg of Freenode, an Open-Source IRC network. It has been subject to a hostile takeover, and the new "owner" tried to force "free speech" rules onto everyone.... (cont...) 🧵

Twitter has been suspending people not just for linking to webpages Musk doesn't like, but for linking to webpages that link to those. Now they're extending this to social networks and pages that link to them or imply a link. They literally just banned the entire web.

That’s what the “fediverse” is about. And why it’s better than Post or others. It’s a spec. Don’t like Mastodon? Add ActivityPub to your blog. Use Pleroma, whatever you like!

Any attempt to remove my tweets that link to my other social media accounts, not violating any law, would actually make #twitter an editorial media, and no longer a social media platform, with civil and criminal liability for *any* illegal content therein. help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-p…

In an attempt to prevent people linking to banned social media sites, Twitter is now scanning for common URL defanging techniques (i.e. urlhere[.]com). So if you're in infosec and use these methods to share malicious urls safely for research, be aware it may now trigger a ban.
