My kids are watching this classic scene from Sesame Street and are just as confused as the Yip Yips. They have absolutely no conception of what this thing is. The humor of the scene has truly come full circle.

If you’re really worried about an mRNA vaccine versus the virus, you should stop right now

The virus has much more mRNA, uses it harmfully, and puts it all over your organs

Oh hell yeah. @mozilla is launching a Mastodon instance in early 2023! I’m very excited for this. Mozilla is really good at what they do. Firefox has over 200M monthly active users, and with any luck they’ll build better support for the fediverse into Firefox itself. Mastodon will greatly benefit from easy to use professionally run instances that can handle massive scaling https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-launch-fediverse-instance-social-media-alternative/

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

If you want to link your #Mastodon account on #Twitter, you can use a URL shortener to bypass the filter that #SpaceKaren put in place. I can highly recommend this one: https://spacekaren.sucks

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

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

Twitter is now blocking links to pixelfed!

"First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win"

I’m seeing tons of awesome stuff that’s outside of my usual security firehose on other sites

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/
