Thinking about buying a Steam Deck, but maybe I should wait for a v2 with an OLED screen, since I already have a switch.... Any owners here of both systems with thoughts about it?

We are now at 2763 users on bird.makeup and it takes an hour and a half to iterate through all twitter accounts. I guess it's time to start optimizing again!

After the FTX collapse the Eye of Sauron is now on Binance. The US Attorney’s Office is sending subpoenas to investment firms asking for records of communications with Binance looking for dirt to indict CZ with.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to eliminate the confusion and let you know that this is actually me. 😂 Hope you are having an awesome Thursday!

Added some new Mastodon monitoring infrastructure for discuss.systems.

Sure, every good #MastoAdmin has a cool Grafana dashboard, but we're going a bit more old school here...

What should I improve next on bird.makeup?

There's a ton of really interesting tech detail in this recent Amazon Science publication. Check it out to learn how Amazon Redshift *really* works

I wanted to summarize what is known about the new XBB.1.5 variant of SARS-CoV-2, which is starting to generate a lot of interest.

(There are no new scientific results in this thread, it simply aggregates previously reported results for those not following topic closely.)

bird.makeup feels too good to be true. I'm using it to pipe in news sources that aren't on Mastodon yet, so that's one less need for me to be on Twitter. Thanks to @vincent for providing this excellent service.

This lighthouse is SO UNIQUE! It's called Þrídrangar, which means "three rock pillars". It is located 4.5 miles (7.2 kilometres) off the southwest coast of Iceland, in the archipelago of Vestmannaeyjar, often described as the most isolated lighthouse in the world. The lighthouse was built there in 1939.

It's such a INCREDIBLE location for a lighthouse, perched on a rock in Iceland's wild surf. Originally constructed and accessible only by scaling the rock on which it is situated, it is now accessible by helicopter since the construction of a helipad.

All computer software published in 1927 and earlier is now fully public domain, abandonware or not.

Looks like all the time I spent this week optimising bird.makeup was useful: we managed to hit the performance target of processing every account at least once every hour.

3749 twitter accounts followed by 1985 fediverse users, and with so much space to grow now!

We just crossed 1900 users on bird.makeup 😲

Really excited about how far I can take this project this year!

Shoutout to @vincent for developing bird.makeup. Things are slow now because of the massive influx in users, but having any Twitter account’s tweets viewable within the fediverse is great. Bridging the gap until those accounts are posting directly here is awesome.
