Hooray for BirdsiteLIVE! I can now keep up to date with @cta.
For other Twitter accounts, I can use my feed reader’s Twitter support. The problem with the CTA is that the tweets are only useful for a short period; I’m not interested in anything older than an hour or so.
Today’s Tweetbot drama and Hockenberry’s resignation at the general situation make me sad, on top of everything else that has happened with Twitter since Thursday evening.

Bought Re: Toot for use with iMessage, not for quote posting.
Would be nice if Mastodon HTML included the headers that iMessage looks for.
RISC V is fragmenting, but it does not matter.
I wonder what the king of processor transitions, Apple, will do with it if Arm falters.
No third-party clients, no Twitter for me.
Parsing command line options by hand in Bash because I need array-valued options. getopt(1) won’t work for my case.

Cheeba City Blues sounds like Jack Dangers has joined Bill and Rhys in Noise Unit.

How the Fediverse is going for me: posting from Micro.blog; boosting from Mastodon.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
Lots of stuff I didn’t know before. 📺
I get so much utility from Twitter. For one tiny aspect, it’s the best way for me to keep up to date with CTA status and National Weather Service reports.
Yet again, [expletive] git is so damn bad at merging YAML.
The first evidence for dark matter in a black hole?! 📺
This is really good. Starting to understand this idea of dark matter being “collisionless”.
One of today’s moods.
Weird reading the announcement about some new music “… features backing vocals by the late, great [musician that you like]…”. “Late”? One visit to Wikipedia later, you learn that they died six months ago.
