For those looking to escape Twitter but still want to follow me and my blog posts, I'm also in these places:
• Mastodon: https://t.co/qMnkrATzOw
• Discord: https://t.co/3JhOCbA4ZI
• RSS/Atom: https://t.co/pCtFrcKbA4
Complete list on my website, incl. Reddit etc

[Starbeamrainbowlabs @SBRLabs]

This is a final ask. Is there anyone here who still follows me here and not elsewhere?

Unfortunately given the systematic discrimination here, if nobody replies new blog post notifications on this platform will cease.

See the pinned post on my profile for alternatives.

Are you following my blog posts here on X? What other platforms are you using? Given current circumstances I wish to assess the impact of dropping Twitter for post notifications.

This is a special one - I talk about my viva and the result in more detail.

Thanks to everyone sticking with me for so long! 🌟

PhD Viva == complete!

It was very intense and stressful, and I'm not in a hurry to repeat the experience :P

Result is pass with corrections, but precisely what that means exactly hasn't been defined yet.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far :-)

In short: 24.04 is a painful upgrade. Don't upgrade right now if you don't have physical access to the box to fix it!
