So, again I woke up to find 28,766 restored tweets

After deleting all 38,000 tweets in November

After redeleting 34,000 tweets a month ago

This morning 28,766 came back

This IS a breach of the EU rules on data processing

Please boost asap, don't like it, boost it

Kinda wanting to install my own lemmy and slowly build up my subs in the hopes to eventually replace my reddit experience. Because I really do enjoy reading my subs on various totally obscure topics

@KenRos could it be....??

LFG!!!! Now let's get Vanney out

How do I know the Succession ending was great? Because I hated it! Will miss this show. #succession #hbo

Have a good Wednesday, also known as Mittwoch, also known as Wodin's Day.
Have a London derrière to cheer you up.

Anyone with a web cam recommendation? Must be Linux friendly. My built in camera died a month or so ago and this ThinkPad x1c6 may be old but still works perfectly (sans camera) so I don't want to trade this old thing in just yet.

Meta's new Twitter rival will talk with Mastodon (via ActivityPub, assumed?). This is an interesting development.

Not that we need/want Meta in the space but it could be a driver.

I remember once getting flak for sharing the German quip of "if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."

I hope those critics look at Florida and other fashy states and realize that this is what happens when you tolerate fascism at any level.

Visiting Europe was cool and all but nothing beats returning home to Nicaragua, leaving the airport, only to have the 11pm heat & humidity sucker punch the wind right out of you.

Welcome home indeed.

DZ: Mass shootings, common

Mass shootings are so common, I didn't even hear about this recent one in New Mexico:

N'oubliez pas.

I've been writing Go 95% of the time for the last couple of years.

I've got a py2 codebase for a pretty useful app I need to port to py3.

I've forgotten a lot of what that entails.

Time to dust off the upgrade manuals.

If this is true, that prime-time Trump infomercial was an even more shameful act of journalistic malpractice on CNN's part than was previously understood.

Allowing audience members to applaud - but not boo or express disapproval - doesn't report the story, it materially alters it. It creates the false impression that Trump and his odious policies and behavior are more popular than they are.

This whole story is absolutely wild, and far beyond NSOGroup type capabilities. And the telecom industry is itself complicit.
"Global Surveillance: The Secretive Swiss Dealer Enabling Israeli Spy Firms"

I feel seen.

Accidentally typed rm templates/* and quickly realized my error. A second of panic before hg revert -Ca brought me back to my senses.

(not to worry, I had no other pending changes that reverting would affect)

Moral being, I've got 25+ years using *nix, coding, etc. and still do stupid shit all the time. Use tools that will save you whenever feasible.

“Proposed Texas Law Wants to Make School Children 'Battlefield' Ready

In response to school shootings, a new bill in Texas would require public schools to install "bleeding stations" and train kids as young as third grade in trauma care.”

This is grotesque.

The United States of America is a war zone.

The children are hostages.

The terrorists are hiding behind the hostages.

The terrorists are the Republicans.

The NRA funds terrorism.

Only you can end this.

@tedu is it just me or are you and other honkers seeing this? Trying to import from the xzone seems to fail more often than not, but using the new search import option works for those that failed.

The Clarence Thomas bribery scandal widens:

—Leonard Leo and his organization had business before the Supreme Court.
—They sent large sums of money to Clarence Thomas’s wife.
—They deliberately removed her name from the paperwork.

It’s time for the US Attorney to open a bribery investigation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/05/04/leonard-leo-clarence-ginni-thomas-conway/

The contents of libraries are being treated as more dangerous to kids than massacres.

#Naples was waiting for me.

(see if you can find the shit stain a friendly pigeon left for me on my jeans)

God I love football. The #Naples fans were so wild last night. Energy was nuts.

Currently in #Naples, #Italy. The local football team just needs 1 point to lock in their Serie A championship. They just tied the score (giving the the championship if the score stays the same). The city is MADNESS! Love it!
