My AirPods Max are called Mo’s AirPods Max. For reasons that I won’t go into I have a second pair of AirPods Max, so I called them Mo’s SpairPods Max. I will never not find this hilarious.

This is not to say that death threats are acceptable, or some sort of price you have to pay for managing a social media account. They’re never acceptable.

If I was getting actual death threats from people on social media because of something I posted on social media, the first thing I would do is stop posting on social media for a while, and I’d especially avoid interacting with people about the subject that was getting me the death threats!

why call it bird site when ‘the fowl place’ is right there and a much better pun

Right, I’m out. That Very British Problems account has come over from Twitter and now the “we’re so British, we love queuing and tea and being polite, please forget the colonialism, old chap” bollocks is masquerading as comedy here too.

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.

Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.

This is the only real time travel paradox.

Twitteratti in 2008: Twitter is an app interface playground. Everyone is trying these cool new things. So much innovation.
Twitteratti in 2022: I can’t find a Mastodon app that I like. There’s too many. They’re not mature enough. They do weird things. I just want Tweetbot for Mastodon so that everything is the same as it was before.

@ThePaulMcBride when will WeCodeNI be posting job listings to Mastodon? 🙂

I host a daily podcast called Your Daily Lex. Today’s episode is about getting banned from Twitter.

Five minutes a day. Free Black Friday and always.

Dahmer, cannibalism 

I don’t think this could be a worse advertising partnership, unless they specifically advertised Meat Feast pizzas. Might need to work on the Brand Safety there, All4.

follow new people don't just recreate your twitter clique on Mastodon.

As musician and technology enthusiast it gives me so much delight that Roland released everything but a 404 in their x0x series of instruments in the early 80s.

While they did eventually release an SP-404, the original 404 was literally Not Found. Perfect.

I’m going to retcon this into the HTTP spec.

I hate* to be a stereotype but I just spent the afternoon in the pub talking shit with a couple I’d never met before and we’re like best mates now. I’d die for Gerry and Margaret.

(* I’m lying. I’m totally embracing this stereotype)

YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

I need an app or service that can remember the name of that movie that I saw advertised on the side of a bus around 6 months ago when it was in cinemas but is now available on iTunes and I’m in the mood to watch it right now but only if it’s not too long because I’m a bit sleepy this evening thank you very much.

Is it too much to ask for this simple use case?

I don’t know if this needs to be a server or client function, but the Mastodon experience desperately needs to debounce repeated boosts of the same damn posts over and over again.
