Since I'm seeing a new wave of people saying they plan to leave Twitter, you may like my browser tool that takes the zip file of your Twitter export and returns a zip file of a web site that lets people browse and search your tweets. You can just upload the files wherever you normally host html and it'll work just fine.

Building a new computer is much more than just the hardware and software in the artifact -- there is also an entire supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics operation that must be designed, developed and debugged. Today on Oxide and Friends, @ahl and @bcantrill will be joined by the Oxide operations team to hear of the many (many!) obstacles that they surmounted to get the Oxide rack shipped. Join live 5pm today!

@futurebird If I had to make a prediction--USB is about 30 years old, version 4 has kept full backward compatibility with 1-3 while finally ending the ancient Firewire design beef (merging with Thunderbolt, which adds emulation for other cables and power delivery for larger gadgets)...plus now it's got an EU mandate. It'll have _at least_ the lifespan of coaxial cable (invented 1880, standardized 1940)

YOOOOOOOO, OHIO!
Today is the day to register to vote for the most important election of this year.
Want to vote no on Issue 1 this August 8 against the GOP scam to change the rules and give the minority veto on abortion rights?
Register by today.

Twitter “was generating $5bn of revenue per year, and coming close to breaking even.
The overwhelming majority of this revenue was from advertising, but according to Musk’s thesis that revenue stream was garbage. He would deprioritise ads, reduce moderation, and boost the posts of people who would pay $8 a month for a blue tick.The results have been catastrophic.”

“Many tech platforms have instituted policies against misinformation or hateful speech that have resulted in content such as election denial, anti-vaccine falsehoods and far-right conspiracy theories being removed… research has found that allegations of anti-conservative bias at social media companies have little empirical evidence…
The rightwing narrative of tech platform censorship persisted, however”
