So, Twitter appears to have killed third-party apps. That's it for me, I'm done. I might check in from time to time to read @fesshole, but that's it. @robmanuel please migrate to Mastodon.
Clearing up the kitchen at the end of Christmas Day to @tracey_thorn’s Tinsel and Lights which is keeping me going after a long day.
If you're thinking this isn't a good place to be anymore and you're looking to move, I've set up my own server in the other place. I intend to keep it small and limit it to people I know, either online or in real life - you can find a link in my bio, or DM me for more info.

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.
I have my own Mastodon instance up and running and now I think I've got the hang of things, I'm opening it up to people I know - the idea is to keep it small and cosy. If we know each other, and you're looking for a home in the Mastodon world, check it out masto.dopiaza.org/
I’m not abandoning this place just yet, but you can now find me on Mastodon at @dopiaza@masto.dopiaza.org

Everyone on social media should know about the Illusory Truth Effect
If you see something repeated enough times, it seems more true. Multiple studies show that it works on 85% of people. Worse, it still happens even if the information isn't plausible & even if you know better.
This is a good summary from a Brit living in the US. Well worth reading if you’re at all confused by UK politics right now (and really, who isn’t?)

Everyone scoffs at PHP the language, but their documentation kicks everyone's ass because it's loaded with things that aren't obvious. Writers don't discover these things, folks doing the work do.
These are the people choosing the next Prime Minister. “I’m of an age where I don’t really care about saving the planet that much”
I no longer think of @MargaretAtwood as a novelist. She's a future diarist narrating current events and passing them back down a few decades.

If only he’d adopted the same attitude to parties that he took towards COBRA meetings…
