Summer olympics should have more beach versions of sports than just beach volleyball. Beach golf? Beach 110m hurdles, beach wrestling…

@viticci Not cool man

@shrey_g @newsyc200 Anyway, I submitted a form to Twitter that might fix this, or not. 🫤

[oiva @oiva]

@shrey_g @newsyc200 I finally got around checking what's wrong. It seems Twitter API is blocking all links posted by @newsyc200 because "they have been identified as potentially harmful." I suspect it's because each tweet links to a site with the word "hacker" in its name.

[oiva @oiva]

@shrey_g @newsyc200 Thanks for the heads up. I try to maintain it but the SLA isn't very good 😅

You can follow me on Zplork, Fluffster, or IRL. Is that you behind the tree?

[oiva @oiva]

@newsyc500 ping me if you want some help with the HN accounts!

[oiva @oiva]

@healeyio @newsyc20 @newsyc50 I’ll definitely look into it. The current implementation isn’t best suited for running multiple instances and I’d like to refactor it a bit. A Mastodon version has also been requested 🙂 Can’t promise anything as I’m a bit short on time on a parental leave right now.

just saw this monstrosity on tumblr and I am horrified

The season finale could have used a better CGI train 🤨 Also the whole plot about Canadians being angry doesn’t feel plausible #TheHandmaidsTale

[oiva @oiva]

Of course people can create a Mastodon account and continue using Twitter. I’m not saying Twitter is doomed but rather that this Mastodon thing might be going somewhere now

[oiva @oiva]

Small sample sizes, but… I follow around 600 accounts on Twitter of which roughly one third is tweeting at all. 33 of these accounts now exists on Mastodon, so that’s about 15% of active accounts I follow. Most of them created during last couple of days (me included)

Watching Westworld S4 and I have no recollection of who these people are or what they want. I assume some of them are robots.

Flightradar should have a feedback channel to scorn young hotshots coming in too hot for the landing

The good old days.

I guess we’ll spend some time fighting the brightness wars with QD-OLED and others but seems like there’s some sensible limit to brightness as well?

[oiva @oiva]

I know TV manufacturers will always find innovative ways to sell more TVs but what's the next step after 4K / 120Hz? You can't see the individual pixels anymore and it's hard to notice 240Hz vs 120Hz. Will there be a push for 8K TVs during next Olympics? Why?

@KajKunnas @OivaNr1 @OivaKatko @oivavare @oliverpalonkorp @LahtinenOlivia Kiitos!

I like how a literally ten seconds long Instagram reel starts with “wait until the end”

OK buddy, but this better be worth it
