@A_Porcupine I remember the time the iPhone shipped with wireless charging, and we had to go dig out the Qi chargers from some hidden cupboard in the Techstop, because the Nexus / Pixel phones had dropped the the year prior.

My experience on Mastodon is becoming increasingly more interesting as more of the people I follow establish a presence there. At this point it’s far outweighing Twitter for me.

For the rest of you, I sincerely hope to see you there one day.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

@wsdot I don’t see it.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

If you have not yet, now seems like a good time to download the archive of your Twitter data.

@cstrauber @rmondello As someone who truly does not know how to pronounce their own last name (Due to it being introduced to me in marriage), I respect your take, but please don’t ask me how to pronounce it, I really can’t 😅

@cabel The scary part is some people *can* stop thinking about it, and blissfully enjoy their meal.

@AVinkestijn @LadyMpire @CultOfAlan @Marc_IRL @Oviraptor_ And in no small part thanks to meeting you there, I have a successful career. What a decade.

Shoutout to Elon for pushing me to finally take ownership of my experience, like I've said I would do for so many years.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

@Kappische No.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

@morvelaira Those are not mutually exclusive.

@Wyld @Graphoniac I know, I know. If you don’t laugh you’ll end up crying.

But for a marketing email specifically, that shows no sign of being written this way due to some hemisphere mixup, it’s a bit odd.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

Ah yes, summer.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

@mairE_keyL @sordideuphemism @ZoeSchiffer @imyke Oof yeah, that’s a hard no. I can’t imagine buying last minute tickets to SF, if you can’t be absolutely confident the expense is actually going to be paid.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

@ZoeSchiffer @imyke Assuming *at the very least* those flights can be expensed right? Right?!

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

Yes I’m aware Twitter accounts can be private these days diminishing my point, yes I’m aware Reddit is still out there.

But by and large the open web, browsable by anyone, is becoming increasingly less popular.

What used to be public forms, are now private chat apps.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

The potential death of Twitter brings us closer to the end of the open forums of the internet as we used to know them.

With many people moving in the direction of platforms like Discord, the “You can just point your browser at an address and see” nature of the web is dwindling.

@LexManos We’re gonna need a bigger floppy.

[Philip Mallegol-Hansen @Hanse00]

@MrFlamegoat Mastodon seems like the right tool for me. Hosting my own vs. yet another platform makes the choice work for me.
