Archiving my Twitter, Facebook and other social network activity
The reason Arlo, Sierra and Cliff all act like they’ve never lost a battle before isn’t just posturing. It’s that Giovanni neuralizes them after every defeat. If they can’t remember losing, it can’t affect their confidence, right?
(Not to be confused with head *cannon*, which of course you can find on Genesect.)
Beginning to wonder if someone over there used to generate the archive export files by hand and they got fired.
Updated shelf life and expiration dates for at-home #covid tests, now that there’s been time to collect real-world data.
If you have an “expired” test lying around, check the list – it might still be usable.

Awkward: Thanks & Thanos differ by only one letter
Anyone know how to change the scroll wheel speed on Gnome Web or other Chromium browsers?
I really like the way the Mastodon web UI works as a PWA installed to the desktop, but I’m really frustrated by the much slower scrolling compared to Firefox (which, annoyingly, won’t install a PWA)
It is so weird to see triple-digit boosts in the feed.

The funny thing is all the viral posts about how Mastodon is designed to make it harder for things to go viral.
With comment threads longer than I’ve seen in ages.
(Harder, of course, doesn’t mean impossible!)
(And yeah, I’m guilty of boosting some of them too!)

Time for me to stop contributing to the problem of over-saturating the feed with meta-commentary.
(Oh no, I’m doing it right now!)
All the documentation I’ve found on Eleventy pagination has to do with a single level, and I’ve got that working pretty well.
What I’d like to do now is combine them: loop over all the tags, and then paginate each tag’s collection so if I use some tags a lot, they don’t end up with 50 posts on the same page. Basically the way WordPress generates paginated views for each tag.
Something like this: (simplified, I know filters need to be in there)
pagination: data: collections size: 1 alias: tag pagination: data: tag size: 10 alias: tagpost
Though that didn’t seem to work.
Is there some way to do multi-level pagination, or would I need to take some other approach for the outer loop?
In the process of disentangling connected accounts from the birdsite, stumbled on #IntenseDebate. I’m not sure I’ve seen a site using them for comments in years.
And considering that the list-your-other-social-sites-on-your-profile still has spots for Digg, FriendFeed, MyBlogLog, and Orkut, I have to wonder…is Automattic doing anything with it other than keeping the lights on?
Speaking of stumbling on things, I miss StumbleUpon
It’s too bad they already used the “Nemesis” title.
Made the mistake of reading comments on a WSJ editorial with people simultaneously accusing the entire democratic party and mainstream media of living in a bubble while also claiming that Biden and the DNC are “far left.”
I think it’s fair to assume they’ve never stepped out of their own bubbles and heard what actual leftists have said about Biden and the DNC.
DOJ seizes stolen bitcoin from a 10-year-old heist against the Silk Road (remember them?), some of which was stored “on a single-board computer that was submerged under blankets in a popcorn tin stored in a bathroom closet.”
It’s like the classic saying about the only way to guarantee your computer is safe from hacking.
Search warrants, on the other hand…

Or, now that I think about it, the plans for demolishing Arthur Dent’s house.
Oh jeez, I bet there are a lot of bitcoin aficionados who would file stuff under Q on principle
Actual WaPo headline:
Please stop licking psychedelic toads, National Park Service warns
“As we say with most things you come across in a national park, whether it be a banana slug, unfamiliar mushroom, or a large toad with glowing eyes in the dead of night, please refrain from licking.”
A #MonarchButterfly spotted over the weekend. Not sure what kind of flower it’s hiding behind.
Social media is a place we try to present an idealized image of ourselves. Even when it’s authentic, it’s edited out of necessity.
So if you think about it, aren’t we all just impersonating ourselves on here?
Guess I’d better mark my account as a parody before I get kicked out.
Reply to a poll about custom link shorteners
Personally I think a shortener is just an extra layer of complexity that can go wrong.
If you’re in control of your own URL scheme for your site you can make it human-readable and short enough to avoid word-wrap on email, and it’s not going to take up any extra space on Twitter, Mastodon or anything else unless you’re sending it in an actual SMS message.

Found myself thinking about this old joke about operating systems as airlines, and the punchline on Linux Air.

Backlit Skeleton. Seen while walking around a few weeks ago. They kept adding more stuff to the yard as #Halloween approached.
