Oh man... just found that the "MASTO 95" theme is the correct way to use this site.

I made a new Twitter logo.

#Computer

Back in 2010 #twitter launched their “t.co” link shortened. And I thought at the time how profoundly terrible that is. If the database and/or ability to look up t.co links ever changed, we would literally lose information. We will no longer know what URL was tweeted. It burns a huge hunk of internet history to the ground if we lose that. It was vain and shortsighted and stupid. Now in 2022, I wonder how many months we have left when we can resolve those links. And what happens to collective internet history when they’re done?

In another funny twist, what about trials or legal matters that hinge on the content of a tweet? And suddenly you can’t get the content of that tweet? Or where did that link point to?

Nobody saw this coming except for all of us who saw this coming.

#DidYouKnow? The #Fediverse (technical: #ActivityPub) is not the only #protocol with #federation.

One such, and is the oldest, is #XMPP (formerly known as #Jabber protocol).

— If the Fediverse is for the #SocialWeb; XMPP is for messaging and presence.

— It has been around since 1999, and is developed at the #IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). Yes, it's not a hobby!

— It is a #privacy -focused #InstantMessenger

New personal work – I wanted to tell a scary story here that is not immediately obvious but only at second glance.

Hallo alle. Voll schnuckelig hier. Geradezu exklusiv. Deswegen gibt’s jetzt mal exklusiv und nur hier Bernds Skizze für den Känguru-Comic vom nächsten Montag. Passt halt so gut.

Die Human Rights Watch der Fifa ist von Rolex.

Ich lege mich fest: Es wird das #Fediverse. Wird ne Menge Arbeit und dauert natürlich noch Jahre, bis es so funktioniert wie Twitter.

Die Funktionalität von Twitter ist globale, systemrelevante Infrastruktur, das MUSS dezentral und nicht-kommerziell werden. Und wird es auch.

Tiny Mastodon newbie tip 🐘:

If there are some topics you would rather not see in your timelines anymore, for example a certain Birdsite, you can use Filters! ​

HOW TO ❓

1. On desktop, go to Preferences > Filters.

2. Click the “Add new filter" button on the upper right.

3. Then you can add things like “twitter.com/” or “Twitter” or “Birdsite” or something else or all of the above!

4. You can even set an expiration date if you think you'll want to hear about it again later on.

5. You will see these posts hidden as for Content Warnings and you will be able to click on “Show More” to see them OR you can enable “Drop instead of hide” or “Hide completely” in the options to not see anything at all in your timelines.

6. Enjoy! 😌

All right, any WordPress experts out there?

I want to just write my posts in raw HTML. The Block Editor appears to be not working for me (I mean, not even working as it's supposed to -- even if it were it wouldn't be what I'd want to use), and Classic Editor ditto.

I see that there are a few plugins for this, but most of them appear to be out-of-date w.r.t. the latest WordPress, and the couple that weren't I tried -- and they didn't work at all in the way I wanted.

I just want to write HTML. (Why is the platform so resistant to that?)

To be clear:

By "any WordPress experts out there", I mean that I'm happy to hire you at your consulting rate.

I wanna do a project in haskell soooo bad.. i just cant justify a full stack project with it for various technical and social reasons... but its so much fun!
