Just spent the past 12 hours backing up my Twitter. I hand-wrote each of my 41,214 tweets individually on to cue cards and organized them in a drawer.

If Twitter crashes and you need to find me, the hell you will. I've got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need. I speak a dozen languages, know every local custom, I'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see me again.

my crowning achievement is on this app is probably making Gandalf big naturals in photoshop when I was recovering from anesthesia and watching him spread across the world :,) I’m glad the concept of Gandalf with huge titties touched everyone hearts as much as it has mine!

I spent the last day talking to smart folks who know Elon to try to grok why it feels capricious and what the method is to the seeming madness. Here you are for those who care and for those who don’t, good for you for ignoring chaos monkeys nytimes.com/2022/11/18/tec…

It's my birthday! Therefore it marks the end of another year of me hurtling around Earth's yellow sun. So, as is customary, here's my year in review. You can read previous years at 2021, 2020, 2019, …

Wow, remember when Twitter didn't linkify everything, including actual websites?

Whenever I open twitter now, the home timeline has like 2 new tweets. I'm not sure if this is because the twitter infrastructure is failing, or because actually there was one person individually …

You should not require a direct connection to a marginalised group to care about their safety or rights. You should care because it’s not acceptable. If you didn’t have daughters, would you care less? thetimes.co.uk/article/daught…

The absolutely worst part of the onboarding is when you are asked to pick a server, when you still don't have any idea what the consequences of that decision are Start with a server that your friends are on already and that's still open to signups You can move elsewhere later

Mastodon has a steep initial learning curve You're smart. You can read, and Google things, and ask questions You can do this!

If you're gonna get on Mastodon, I would like to apologise in advance for being the guy responsible for posts being called "Toots". I thought it was funny. And it is, and it's even funnier that some people hate it. I take it back, I'm not sorry. Ha ha. Toots.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

Mastodon is a train wreck. Someone needs to build a twitter clone… nothing fancy, just like twitter and allow you to grab your twitter handle. I know python, I'll see what I can whip up this weekend. According to Musk it's not that hard and doesn't take a lot of people.

If you're curious why everyone seems so mad about the modern frontends live débâcle - this was the *entire* "3,500 person" conference. Which sponsors paid ten grand at least for stands at, and speakers paid for their own international flights and accomodation to speak at.

Social media has long been sneered at by “hardcore engineers” since before social media was a term. It was a dynamic at Google versus Blogger. The challenges of building systems that amplify human weirdness and wonder as distinct from search, commerce, cars just never computes.

Let me suggest the contempt in that second tweet - “please, surely he can manage a social network” - is a big part of why he’s very visibly failing at managing this social network.

EXTREMELY THIS. speaking of google, you know why that company, full of “hardcore engineers” since its inception, has failed at no fewer than 4 major attempts at social media? because you need to understand people as deeply as you understand computers to be successful at them.
