I'm logging in to X after 3 years. I was following science & tech accounts as well as anti-crypto accounts. All I'm seeing in my feed are onlyfans girls, crypto and justin bieber. WTF happened?

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@davidtolnay This fork of your library already looked shady when I forked it a year ago. I even mentioned it in my README in the "Why" section. https://t.co/BDhBPnIFje

@mitsuhiko @_austrian what's the M currency?

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

Ads... Ads... Everwhere!

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

Holly crap! I'm logging in to Twitter after ~1 year, because github is down, but the status page says "everything is okay", and you can't search logged out on twitter any more.
My time-line is filled with spam and political crap from people I don't even follow. WTF is happening?!

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

Is it me or Github is less and less reliable...

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@JamiesonBecker This is why Github went down the drain...

A few years ago https://t.co/f7NSWDHDfz was reporting metrics. Now it's updated by a humans, and humans take hours to update this page. So you're seeing weird behaviours on Github but https://t.co/f7NSWDHDfz says "everything is fine!"

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@mutinda_felix_ @github No. Github is having major issue... https://t.co/gYS0meFUdV

Every time I want to access twitter once in a blue moon, it's fucked...

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

This guy who bought Twitter must be a genius.

I don't know, but that's what 4D chess players are telling me.

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@yannsionneau @bortzmeyer Yup. I prefer buying a good computer every ~7+ years than a crappy one every other year.
Which is what Jancovici says: better renew server hardware often and client hardware seldom. (To save energy significantly, if we ignore manufacturing+shipping)

@babsliness @Scott_Mashburn @GretaThunberg Scott is most likely talking about https://t.co/naWcSclqyS

Cobalt is used in every lithium ion battery, which is found in cars, and also in the phones that Scott and I are using to access twitter. Scott is making a "what about" argument. Which brings nothing to the debate.

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@ScottSzcz @TelepresenceLen @BrooklynBubbler @GretaThunberg Thats not the case in many EU countries. Some put it in the cardboard container, in my country it is recommended to put it in the "packaging container" (along with detergent bottles, milk cartons)

Overall, it rarely goes in the "everything-else-trash".

@dunglas @bortzmeyer @NFaureTrudel @joinmastodon @signalapp @Wikipedia J'avais tord. Je n'étais pas au courant que le serveur était maintenant open-source. Merci pour la correction. Mais le problème avec la fondation Signal qui publie l'application avant de publier me code est bien réel. Pareil pour le code du serveur.

@bortzmeyer @dunglas @NFaureTrudel @joinmastodon @signalapp @Wikipedia Je ne comprend pas la religion SignalApp, quand il y a wireapp, tox et snikket. Tous chiffrés de bout en bout avec des serveurs libres.

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@bortzmeyer @dunglas @NFaureTrudel @joinmastodon @signalapp @Wikipedia Signal est libre que en principe. Le serveur est proprio, et quand Moxie a "pump and dump" son MobileCoin, Signal a publié des nouvelles versions de l'appli sans le code pour cacher le fait qu'elle intégrait un système de paiement dans signal basé sur les cryptomonnaies.

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@dunglas @bortzmeyer @NFaureTrudel @joinmastodon @signalapp @Wikipedia Signal, en gouvernance indépendante, on a vu mieux. Mais ils ont un bon culte pour assurer la promotion. Signal, c'est le Tesla de la messagerie instantanée.

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@TeslaOwls Are Teslas still appreciating in value?

https://t.co/CR1sjQ7LHi

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

Lada cars in the USSR and Trabants cars in East Germany were also appreciating assets.

[Romain Hedouin 🇫🇷 Unit Police @RomainHedouin]

Appreciating asset, anyone? $TSLA $TSLAQ

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@jartine Maybe it's #1 because it is a very cool project. 😉

Congrats.

@sniff86793391 @PatrickEBoyle @AkiretaHK While we need to stop using petroleum products ASAP for environmental and non-environmental reasons. There are legitimate reasons why governments don't "just do it". And it has to do with how much living standards would negatively be impacted by such a radical change.

[Antoine Catton @Antoine_Catton]

@sniff86793391 @PatrickEBoyle @AkiretaHK You're just supporting Patrick's point, right? These oil-free items are expensive because they dont rely on free, finite and dense energy which accumulated in the ground for millions of years. It looks like these ppl don't understand half of the repercussions of "just stop oil".
