I read a lot. Sometimes I learn things. I like making things. I think reading and doing are complementary.

https://nitter.net/TechEmails/status/1575588277700026368 has the purported conversation between Dorsey and Musk from March about how Twitter should become "an open source protocol, funded by a foundation of sorts that doesn't own the protocol, only advances it". Purportedly the thread was made evidence in the Twitter v. Musk lawsuit.
If that's the plan, firing most of Twitter's employees does seem like a good first step.
This toot thing is pretty cool. I installed it with
```sh
pip3 install toot
```
It doesn't seem to handle Markdown formatting well, it takes 3-7 seconds for `toot timeline` or `toot notifications`, and it inserts newlines into media URLs when it displays them (but it does display them).
And although it is *mostly* CLI-controlled, it does occasionally have uncontrollable fits of interactivity, like in `toot timeline`:
```
Continue? [Y/n]
```
So it isn't the instantaneous responsivity you might hope for from a CLI app. But it does work and you can presumably run it easily from an arbitrary cloud VM over ssh.
