I have a 5 GB Twitter archive. I wonder if it is merely a memory sinkhole.
You need to take a walk through the laneways, @ictedu@mastodon.ie
I haven’t found any public reference to “here lies my Twitter Archive” @donncha@mastodon.ie
I Was A Free Range Kid
I am proud that my mom let me grow up as a Free Range Kid. Nowadays, mom (farmer’s daughter and nurse) would probably be locked up for admitting she let me walk three miles from the bus stop to our front door like reason.com/2022/11/1…
I imagine there are some venture capitalists who are listening to ideas for new social conversation pits in the post-Twitter era. @athenamedia@mastodon.

I didn’t know why “Space Karen” was trending until I zoomed into Twitter’s HQ.
Planning next week with paper and Kanban.

Dealing with a smart car
We just bought a three year old car that is smarter than its drivers. During our first attempt to back out of our driveway, the emergency brake suddenly stopped the car because of imminent collision. With the 3m long whips of our neighbour’s weeping willow tree. We have some pruning to do …
Test Drive Your Tech #protip
I’m a fan of the Ricoh Theta 360 camera range and we have several on campus. Yesterday, I discovered the Theta V I planned to use needed recharging, resetting (uses the SIM pin I carry), and a 669 MB firmware upgrade. So it pays to test drive the tech you need to use before you need to use it.
Recommending my animation students take the free LinkedIn+GitHub course “CSS Animation” before it requires an enrollment fee. Details: www.searchenginejournal.com/linkedin-…

We cannot make social media good because it is fundamentally bad, deep in its very structure. Ian Bogost in The Atlantic www.theatlantic.com/technolog…
Hoping to hear and see PSAs urging people not to use Twitter DMs as customer service points. The scammers are impersonating airline ticket counters, service providers, and HMOs.
Sure, Elon might have vaporised millions of bots since he let the sink in, but I reckon more than 1m real people have stopped tweeting. www.technologyreview.com/2022/11/0…

Continued growth in Fediverse
From @donncha@mastodon.ie I saw mind-boggling Fediverse stats Mastodon has the most users of any Fediverse sw. There are more Fediverse servers in EU than in the US.
I have to work with a very restrictive tech admin policy with campus desktops and staff laptops. So it was very nice to see ObsidianMD installed its vault inside my laptop’s Document folder without any sort of IT Admin Permissions. Win! #ObsidianMD
Thinking about doubling the size of our aquarium now that the Axolotls are walking to the top of the tank.
End of the Trump Crazy Train
I’m an American voting from Ireland via paper ballot. I enjoy watching elections. It looks like good Republicans today can blame Donald Trump for pushing wacky candidates and for using his jumbotrons to promote his own presidential asperations. Trump’s self-indulgent rallies don’t …
I need to find how to link from either my MB account or from my mastodon account to my ORCID ID. Doing that would improve reference longevity.
