I wrote a nano tool that tries to extract the #Fediverse accounts of your #Twitter followings: https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

It searches for the patterns @user@host.tld, user@host.tld and host.tld/@user in the screen name, description, location and URL field. It displays them to you in the correct format for easy copying as well as a CSV download that can be imported to #Mastodon.

Known issue: Mail addresses are included as false positives because people write their handle without a leading @: name@host.tld

Dear #TwitterMigration folks, an important tip on #privacy on the fediverse:

There is none.

This is a public medium; please treat it as such. Just as you have no privacy on Twitter (Elon Musk can read all your DMs), you have no privacy on the instance you’re on (your administrators can read all your posts).

You can set the visibility of a post but that’s a viewing suggestion, not a privacy guarantee.

Think of your posts as postcards, not sealed letters, and you should be fine.

@lupyuen Gosh! Memories... Porting Forth from 6502-on-PET assembler to Z80-on-CP/M
Games; breakout, labyrinth, tron, a city skyline shooter...

@lupyuen Assembly was before my time, but I used LC-3 when teaching a computing course. Not all the students caught my enthusiasm, but it was a great way to demonstrate low level processes. There are some nice online simulators now. e.g., https://www.peterhigginson.co.uk/AQA/

A tip for new #Mastodon folks using the web app: There’s a multi-column interface available. Go to Settings > Preferences > Appearance and toggle ‘Advanced web interface.’

I think this opens up a handful of extra features, including following tags and searches in extra columns next to the defaults.

Definitely poke around in Settings, lots of great stuff in there. #MastodonTip #MastodonTips #TwitterMigration
