Shoutout to all my friends who, in the last 3 years, I have only communicated with by exchanging high fives on @Duolingo!

We should hang out more often!

I made ChatGPT write the Laws of Cuteness

> The first law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be transferred or converted from one form to another.

> The second law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat will always tend towards maximum cuteness.

> The third law of cuteness states that the cuteness of a cat approaches maximum cuteness as the cat's environment approaches absolute adorableness.

> The zeroth law of cuteness states that if two cats are in cuteness equilibrium with a third cat, they are also in cuteness equilibrium with each other.

Remember folks, "token exchange" does *not* mean "let me exchange a customer ID for a token"!

Good thread on how remotely connected Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, and Acura cars were all able to be remotely controlled knowing only the VIN.

A corporate AMEX acct has a max length of 20 chars for the street address, and no second line. Between a 4-digit street number and "Apt XXX", that leaves only 8 left for the street name and type.

So cross your fingers that USPS figures out this abbreviated street name I guess.

As someone who doesn't cook with meat or eggs, this whole thread is incredibly confusing. It reads like everyone is in on a gag that is going completely over my head. https://twitter.com/warghetti/status/1595407307495587841

wow, Hive Social won't let you add any photos unless you grant it access to *all* your photos. Normally on iOS you can choose to give an app access to only select photos, but it recognizes this and prevents you from doing anything. Super sketchy, will not be using this.

good news: my Mastodon/fediverse timeline has already ramped up to the level of activity of my Twitter timeline

bad news: catching up on my Mastodon/fediverse timeline is now as noticeably bad for my mental health as Twitter was

Some day we're going to look back at social media and say "what are you talking about, there's no way everyone on Twitter was all on one instance"

Whenever I open twitter now, the home timeline has like 2 new tweets. I'm not sure if this is because the twitter infrastructure is failing, or because actually there was one person individually responsible for creating your home timeline and they were fired last week

Whoever did the electrical wiring in this apartment should have their license revoked.

1) the circuit marked "bedrooms" serves literally every lower outlet in the entire place, including both bedrooms and the living room, and the only place to hook up an AC ...

The number of people in my Twitter timeline still posting about anything other than the Twitter collapse is rapidly diminishing

If your web app uses Twitter to log users in, this would be a great time to add some alternative authentication methods!

You may also want to make a plan to handle account recovery for people who have already deleted their Twitter accounts...

The "live rent-free in my head" meme is one of my favorite things.

And if you don't know what that is, go look it up, and then it will live rent-free in your head.

This is your scheduled periodic reminder, for no particular reason, that now is a good time to review the third party OAuth apps that have access to your Twitter account, and remove any that you don't recognize or haven't used in a while.
