And that’s pretty much me done with Twitter, er, I mean X: they’ve now shut off access to Tweetdeck unless you pay the XPro monthly charge.

Blockchains are not interesting technologies; to first approximation they're just append-only spreadsheets. Buying a crypto token is essentially just a huckster opening Excel and offering to sell you the cells A2:D5 for $100,000. It really is that stupid.

After yesterday's complete cluster****, it now seems that #Tweetdeck is down. Columns are not loading, apart from Home and Messages. The joy of it all.

Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter's Javascript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second. Twitter is DDOSing itself.

Well, that's the final nail. Twitter is meaningless to SEO now. Your tweets remain in the Twitter-verse and have NO viewability outside the platform. I don't understand shooting your own platform to death. techcrunch.com/2023/06/30/tw…

Trying my hardest not to compare this with what's happening in France at the moment.

This is incredible. A snowball fight filmed by cinema pioneers the Lumiere bros in France, 1896. It's been colourised and had the speed adjusted.

There are days I just want to give up, get back in the time machine, and go back to the 60s. From a marketing email: "I checked your website and was interested in the wood chips you offer. We work with wood chip producers so I thought I’d reach out." 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Fab marketing email I just received starts off with: "Reaching out because it seems like you are involved in making technology decisions at Julian M Bucknall." OK then.

Must be how math is taught in Florida these days. Mind you, the grammar ain't pretty either.

An absolutely brilliant outcome, says this Brit who's lived in the Springs for 30 years now.
