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

@isaach What elements of your data were exposed that were worth $8? Favourite colour? Inside leg measurement?

If there was ever a tweet that indicated @Twitter’s days were numbered, this would be the one..

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

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?

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@isaach But it has to be said: the app is shit 😜

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@isaach We do 2-3 journeys of that length a year so really no big deal

[John S Nolan parody @johnsnolan]

So, I’m reducing my time with the @metoffice

Available for any interesting consults

Anything from non-exec/director to programmer

DMs open. Suggestion’s welcome. RTs appreciated

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@johnsnolan @tomwhoscontrary @andylongshaw Sure. I might ditch the variants but happy to keep the main domain running

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@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.

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@johnsnolan @tomwhoscontrary @andylongshaw Hmm, that reminds me that I’m still paying for that domain and it’s derivatives…

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@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.

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@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.

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@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.

[Paul Dyson @[email protected] @pauldyson]

@precognitus @JayRedsp @infinitary @ANTlWOKE Yes, it tells me they don’t get racially abused in their own country by their own ‘fans’.
