I'm no longer active on Twitter, or even paying attention. I've moved over to Mastodon @[email protected]

I've moved over to Mastodon @[email protected]. Nothing interesting there (yet). It's not like I'm a prolific user of Twitter.

I had been hoping that Musk might have a shred of social intelligence, but no... So this is my farewell to Twitter. Now I'm entirely on Facebook, at least until Zuckerberg goes from whacky to evil. https://t.co/IbDSKNtg8g https://t.co/Ita1ufQHLS

What a powerful and eloquent contrast between the candidates for senator for Georgia. I find it mind boggling that this race (and many others) is close. Lying morons shouldn’t get a single vote.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this complete takedown of @HerschelWalker by pastor @jamalhbryant. #WeDontNeedAWalker

A few weeks ago I gave a talk at DEVOXX all about building IoT software and Greengrass from AWS. I finally got around to watching the video. It's pretty decent if you speed it up 1.5x https://t.co/8rMbb60Jou

@ebennekers I’m pretty sure I was just reading the news. Between Putin and the MAGA movement, there’s a lot of disturbing news these days. The world of software is pretty trouble-free.

@JavaFXpert Gifting schadenfreude

[James Gosling @errcraft]

Wonderful! I’m a happy JavaFX user. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do.

@thor_benson I'd wager that it was one of Orange Satan's planned post-presidency revenue streams.

Climate action can’t wait. 

That’s why we’re introducing legislation to make sure the EPA can transition us to a clean energy future.

@jonstewart The fact that you don't want the job is one of your strongest qualifications for the job. Follow Zelensky. Or be Elizabeth Warren's veep.

@robreiner Don’t add more justices to the Supreme Court, impeach the justices that committed perjury during their confirmation hearings

@JeffQuesado @juanantoniobm It is sad that you're being held back by Google. If you want to get out of that trap, I'm a huge fan of Gluon https://t.co/uPbarF4Uuj

[James Gosling @errcraft]

For those of you still stuck on JDK8, there's a new Corretto release with all the latest updates and CVE defenses. But please, get off JDK8 as fast as you can. JDK17 LTS is a huge leap in every dimension. https://t.co/jwOIJVi3HR

[James Gosling @errcraft]

@Ty_alXander Corretto is Amazon's supported release of the JDK. Corretto/17 is fully supported within AWS. The performance improvements over JDK8 (particularly for garbage collection) are *dramatic*. Add to that all the new language features. The upgrade is compelling.

[James Gosling @errcraft]

I've been having a lot of fun with JavaFX and Scene Builder lately. This new release is great!

[GluonHQ @GluonHQ]

Scene Builder 18 release https://t.co/ypvpxp5OeP

@mbk_center All the oligarchs toys and mansions and offshore bank accounts need to be confiscated to help fund the rebuilding of Ukraine. The people of Ukraine are due massive reparation payments from Putin.

[James Gosling @errcraft]

For those of you that use Java in Lambdas on AWS, the Lambda team just posted a nice article on performance tuning:
