So the Chief Twit is resorting to shitposting about scientists to drum up traffic on his failing network.
As he values active users so greatly, as do his advertisers, you can find me being active at https://t.co/lTLBQvPEL4
I am not surprised that so many people have such an impassioned interest in Twitter’s doom that they resort to insults and name calling upon any mention that said doom is not imminent and obvious.
Oddly, such rage speaks to the normalcy of the platform.
I'm not naming any names just yet, but there are too many of you here who I am fond of and want to keep in touch with but you have not added a fediverse handle to your bio yet.
Get on with it people, this place is fucked and you know it.
Local friends in tech - I have a 14yo budding developer here looking for a week of work experience in July 2023. Any ideas? Has to be Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall or Bristol?
So, I’m reducing my time with the @metoffice
Available for any interesting consults

@tomwhoscontrary@johnsnolan @andylongshaw Someone (a government department of some kind - my memory of this era is very hazy) did a WTF conference based on the format. John will tell you who.
@lyonsforlife@JayRedsp@infinitary @ANTlWOKE Good for you. You're right that I was judging it on the basis of this thread which is all the information about you I have access to but I'm sure there's more to you than that.
@lyonsforlife@JayRedsp@infinitary @ANTlWOKE I'm sorry to hear that. Whether you call it racism or prejudice, discriminating or abusing someone because of their race shouldn't be tolerated.
It's a shame that experience doesn't give you more empathy for others who've had a similar experience though.
@JayRedsp@precognitus@infinitary @ANTlWOKE You obviously go to different games to me then because I’ve seen and heard it a lot. The team want to take a stand (or, rather, a knee) against it. Why does that bother you? It’s not instead of taking other forms of action, it’s a symbolic gesture. Much like a minute’s silence.
