Happy "Lights All Askew" Day! Yep, it was 103 years ago today that the #nytimes ran the ultimate stack of #science headlines, after eclipse observations appeared to support Einstein's theory: ( #Einstein #relativity #scicomm )
If you feel the need to verify that I'm the same Corn Woman as on the birdsite, you can look there and see that I have this account listed in my profile.

we do with spare change (run hacky flaky social network nodes) what titans of industry require billions of dollars to achieve (run hacky flaky social network nodes).
money is clearly fake as fuck.
I'm not sure if I should be surprised or not to learn that Timnit Gebru is on fedi.
Fedi timeline is now populated at about the right level. Probably time to start cutting.
I think the most upsetting thing to find in my feed is thoughtless political boosterism/bashing. (Second most is racial booting/bashing.)
No one instance is bad, but it's just so prevalent. (And so unprincipled.)

If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.
So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser
Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

@WomanCorn If you click on their picture in that summary view it'll open up their page on their instance and that'll show you their full history. I'm puzzled as to why this isn't built into the client.

It's funny to me that there's two sides here, and the two sides are:
Newbies should Lurk More and learn the ways of fediverse, and not just bring Twitter behaviors here.
... unless they're black, in which case asking them to Lurk More is a racism.
(Yes, there are non-stupid versions.)

@Moon @aetios @Mitsu It's a universal experience for men that we buy electronics, are excited to try them out, and find out we can't because we're missing a cable or a stupid little accessory to make it work.
Then one day, after enough of these experiences, a man just snaps. "Never again" That's when the hoarding starts

Lurk More is always good advice if you don't understand the norms of a new place.

Very funny how things changed in MMORPGs. Then: "You have to be very dedicated to be part of our guild. We have events every day of the week and you have to participate." Now: "we are a family-friendly guild and are respectful of your time. Your real life is more important than the game. Feel free to join." #gaming #classicwow #mmorpg

Pondering if "less ads" is worth wearing the check of shame, but the Twitter app seems to think Twitter Blue isn't available in my country yet.
Probably because I said Twitter couldn't read my GPS. Lol.
