@DavidDarnes Hyperlinks, yeah!!
@joannastern Don't forget to explain how it relates to the Fediverse. Mastodon is just one piece of an even larger federated social network.

I made an archive of all 60,000+ of my tweets to put on my own website using Tweetback and @eleventy. Since this is a pretty useful thing to be able to do, I wanted to write up how I did it in detail; it's still a bit of a technical process, but hopefully a step-by-step guide will help more people be able to do it.

HOW TO: Use your own user @ domain for Mastodon discoverability with the WebFinger Protocol without hosting a server https://www.hanselman.com/blog/use-your-own-user-domain-for-mastodon-discoverability-with-the-webfinger-protocol-without-hosting-a-server

One person guessed that Elon Musk is doing stupid policy changes to get people to rage-engage with the Birdsite, and that he'll revert the policy later to get more rage-engagement.
... you're right. He deleted the no-Mastodon-links-allowed post, so I immediately log in to the Birdsite to rage-post

This person is using a Gmail address and has no website. Why would we hire a web developer that doesn't know how to buy a domain?

A little #ElonMusk meme I created for #Twitter. I’m getting a lot of use out of it lately. 🤣

I’m seeing tons of awesome stuff that’s outside of my usual security firehose on other sites
@raccoon Ah, thanks. I don't understand it all very well yet.
@raccoon True, but wouldn't a computer be able to enumerate what the art it creates is inspired by (more so than humans can)?

In case you need to figure out how to install software on old Macs: https://mastodon.sdf.org/@shriver/109487444432534904
@raccoon Haha! Yes.
So.. I need to learn to not click any of the Trending keywords on the #birdsite anymore. A lot of them are filled with porn now. Yikes!
@Gartenberg Totally. Even the nice CLI newsboat program can import an OPML. I can have all my feeds without a GUI at all! :)
@MichalBryxi Especially in the days of touch screens. Can you believe Android tooltips are activated with a tap & hold of the finger and the tooltip displays UNDERNEATH THE FINGER where you can't see it?!

Please let the #EU legislate and mandate removable batteries. I miss them. https://hackaday.com/2022/03/30/replaceable-batteries-are-coming-back-to-phones-if-the-eu-gets-its-way/
