"The federated timeline is a view of all the public toots your servers knows about from across the whole network (including local ones). The most common reason that something appears in the federated timeline is that someone from your server follows the author of that toot. This column moves fast, and can often be pretty wild."

Just amazing. Every link blog that links to tweets now just link to a dumb interstitial (unless you happen to be logged in to Twitter on that particular browser — which, if you’re using, say, an RSS reader, you’re not. Or coming from elsewhere, you’re not).

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Slack embeds: broken. iMessage embeds: broken. Tweets now insanely less viral and thus, valued.

So fucking stupid.

Since I'm seeing a new wave of people saying they plan to leave Twitter, you may like my browser tool that takes the zip file of your Twitter export and returns a zip file of a web site that lets people browse and your tweets. You can just upload the files wherever you normally host html and it'll work just fine.

ICYMI, the world's largest hosting company GoDaddy disclosed to the SEC this week that a multi-year security compromise allowed attackers to steal company source code, customer and employee login credentials, and install malware that redirected customer websites to malicious sites.

What most coverage of this disclosure has overlooked is the reason for these repeated compromises: Successful voice phishing attacks against employees, where they pretend to be someone from IT, target new hires, and try to get them to log in at a phishing site that mimics the company's real employee portal.

Repairable mobile phone 

Nokia has released an end-user repairable Android phone with five years of parts availability guaranteed. It will be even more appealing if it has an onlocked bootloader, even though it's rather larger than any phone I'd want to carry around. theguardian.com/technology/202

currently cannot sleep because Havelock (beloved feline) is batting a single crunchy kibble around on the small section of wood floor in our room. and grumbling and grumbling and mumbling

i could maybe do something disgusting and use Google sheets instead of a real database. because i don't expect to be processing a lot of data, at least not enough to ping as a "lot" to gsheets

i may start taking my atomoxetine again and see what happens. (Inb4 it's "severe stomach pain" and "intense, uncontrollable sleepiness" again)

masto being so quiet makes me feel like i should post something of quality....but im so used to just scrolling that have nothing super interesting to say. hmmmmm

the IM T injections "worked" in that they like, functioned, but I became totally incapable of doing them myself to the point that doing an injection was an hours-long panic attack-inducing affair, which was pretty humbling >_> but it's been a few yrs and subq is a bit less intense is my hope, lol

Show thread

I'm hopeful that sub-q will work better for me than IM injections did. After a year of my extremely painful migraine med injections, I'm at least willing to try it! (The migraine med is effective, I am just.....one of the people for whom it is extremely horrible, both in pain and side effects haha)

exciting news for human headed dogs like me on #SecondLife , MOR (the creator of the Hellhund body) has just come out with a neck fix to make this work better! Plus, using the neck (even making it transparent if you don't like the look) means you can wear bento / rigged ears on your human head again :D marketplace.secondlife.com/p/M
