@anildash So good!! I hope the season 1 ending is good too. (Not a terrible cliffhanger like House of Dragons.) I feel like I want to binge the whole thing in a 2nd viewing after the 12th episode is released.
@dansup Double nice! :)
@dansup Nice! Are you using the prefers-color-scheme media query or a user preference switch?

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.
So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser
Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.
@atomicpoet @reiver Looking forward to seeing what the different use case is. Short temporary videos like stories that followers get links to? That could be good. I guess I'll see when you're ready.

Important tusk news of a different variety: the oldest sentence in alphabetical writing has been discovered on a 3700 y.o. ivory comb, an invocation against lice! From the New York Times. #archaeology #writing #histodons #history

It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...
@jperlow You exist on other websites though. You can put the link on your ZDnet profile: https://www.zdnet.com/meet-the-team/jason-perlow/ That’s way more trustworthy!
@jperlow You can/should just verify yourself on a real website you own. Being on somebody else's list doesn't seem as trust worthy as you verifying yourself.
@vkc You're not posting any 4K videos here? :)
Is anyone making a TikTok or Snapchat style #Fediverse instance platform?

Now @Raspberry_Pi has its own @Mastodon instance, and because we’re committed to supporting platforms that support us, we’re putting our money where our mouth is. We have become a platinum sponsor of #Mastodon. In case you don't know Mastodon is a non-profit corporation based in Germany supported by both its sponsors and patreons. #TwitterMigration https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

ITS CALLED MASTODON AND ITS LIKE IF TWITTER WAS A BUNCH OF MINECRAFT SERVERS BUT THEYRE ALL CONNECTED WITH PORTALS BETWEEN THEM

Welcome to the Fediverse. The tradition is that you get a pineapple. 🍍

Whoa whoa whoa...
Whoa.
You mean to tell me that #Mastodon has *zero* algorithms deciding what I should read, and that the vast majority of instances banish Nazis into their own shadowrealm instead of tolerating them in the name of EnGaGeMenT?
Hah! Next you'll tell me there are no advertisers wielding influence over feature design so they get more marketing eyeballs!
Wait, what??!
@Stbrie@mastodon.sdf.org Sure, but blocking spammy email servers is the same as blocking spammy Fediverse servers. You gotta be one that doesn't get blocked. ;) It's not too difficult to get off the email block lists though. I've done it a few times. If we're talking about using email on Fediverse instances, isn't that a requirement at least for Mastodon here? https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run-your-own/
