@mattsheffield And yet, if you drill down further with them, the "hard" is mostly "I hated having to choose a server."

The media loves the "too hard" narrative, because, as several industry ninjas have told me, network people behind the scenes need and like Twitter and have no reason to enable an alternative.

Further, I believe most Americans feel they need to offer a pretext for not spending a few minutes learning something new so they don't appear lazy.

I’ve just converted a Twitter bot over to a Mastodon bot and it was an absolute breeze 😎

Mastodon’s API is wonderful to work with. If you’re using Node, I’d highly recommend masto.js: https://github.com/neet/masto.js/

Ok, I have to admit to not paying a great deal of attention to #ChatGPT or #DALLE2 but finally had time today for reading and learning. So this company #OpenAI was created by Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman and Elon Musk. Now that’s one scary group of men.

Republicans: Haha! I'm making light of mass shootings, because that proves I'm a manly, manly man.

Also Republicans: A balloon! Eek! Save me from the scary scary balloon! Waaaaah! Balloon!

@ross EFF's first Senior Fellow for Decentralization, with an excellent piece rebutting the nonsense that the WaPo columnist wrote about #mastodon and the #fediverse 👇🏾

"The question isn't if the fediverse can replace Twitter, but if protocols can usurp platforms in our life online. With enough momentum the fediverse can be the fabric of the social web, incorporating existing systems like Tumblr and Medium and outright replacing stragglers."

Such BS, do not fall for this. The fact that he can change the rules on a whim is enough of a reason to continue with your plans to migrate your bots away from Twitter's unstable platform.

Probably best to just turn your bots off and not let this guy decide their fate.

Ah, so now he wants you to produce free content for his dying, unstable platform, after threatening you, on a whim, to shut off your free access. I see.

In response, I will be discontinuing all my projects that rely on Twitter's API, and I advise you all to do the same, rather than let him decide their fate.

It’s not every day an established conservative judge steps into the limelight to school his party in an effort to save democracy. But Judge J. Michael Luttig is not your average jurist 👨‍⚖️⚖️ #velshi http://ow.ly/itCt50MK0KR

I taught in a high school where less than half of students went on to post-secondary. Final exams were in no way preparation for these students, so we dropped them for most courses. In senior-level optional science and math classes, we continued with comprehensive finals, because those students were more likely to go to university. Different methods for different students just makes sense.

Researchers at IT security company Check Point security have flagged Dingo Token as a potential scam after finding a function that allows the project's owner to manipulate trading fees up to 99% of the transaction value.

Most Republicans railing against critical race theory probably couldn't tell you a single thing its creators have said.

decades-long manhunt finally ends

The hypocrites who also go by the other name of Republicans were outraged by Chinese balloons under Biden, but not outraged by the Chinese balloons over US during Trump administration.
Hypocrites will hypocrite like only hypocrites can. “Oh the outrage.”

How could I have lived without knowing that?
