Ser i Klassekampen at noen har tatt initiativ til en nasjonal "nytt SoMe-medier dag". Foreslått er å bytte Messenger til Signal og Twitter til.... Bluesky. De var så nære å se lyset, men velger et nytt sentralt styrt selskap som er søtte av VC og kryptobros. Dette er problemet med aksjonisme som ikke har satt seg inn i saken og kommer med dårlige alternativer.
PSA: If you keep posting updates on X, you feed Elon's AI "Grok"
Just in case you needed another reason to leave #Birdsite
Found this post from the bird site via reddit. Constructed the right URL on bird.makeup, searched for it, and whabam, there it is.

bird.makeup is da bomb. Finally put my money where my mouth is and supported on Patreon. Thanks @vincent for being awesome.
What do you do if someone won't buy your product? If you are Elon Musk, you sue them, of course. What a moron.

I no longer receive mails from Twitter/X, because apparently they blindly replaced twitter.com with x.com in their mail server configuration, but forget to also update DNS with these domain names in their SMTP HELO.

Another thing I found in the #birdsite archives is how I cleaned and repaired a magnificent #HP9816 (aka HP9000/216) workstation. It's a very nice machine, based on the 68k processor, that can run HPBASIC and can be connected to external disk drives and peripherals via #GPIB. I had to clean it, but it came out quite well. #retrocomputing #electronics #HPBASIC #GPIB
"More than 60 German and Austrian academic organizations say they will leave the messaging platform X owned by Elon Musk. The German government has also voiced fears that the platform is warping political discourse...saying its algorithms were opposed to a discourse based on scientific and democratic integrity."

Looking back at the archive I downloaded from the #birdsite, I found some fun pictures. Those are from 2016, when I got a #Tektronix 576 curve tracer. It was designed to be #repaired! It even sported a roll of special soldering wire for the repairs. I love the notice "IT IS DESIRABLE THAT ONLY SILVER-BEARING SOLDER BE USED ON THE CERAMIC TERMINALS AND FOR THINNING THE IRON. ORDINARY TIN-LEAD SOLDER MAY BE USED BUT REPEATED USE WILL BREAK THE SOLDER TO CERAMIC BOND. SEE YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL"
Two years ago today, I posted my last Tweet. Quitting Twitter (before it descended into the darkness of X) was a New Year’s resolution I kept, and never regretted. Instead, I’ll keep rooting for everyone who’s tooting! https://albertaviews.ca/goodbye-to-twitter/ #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Twitter #X #birdsite #Mastodon #socialmedia
I think I’ve been donating to @wikipedia for a decade, some megalomaniac doped up billionaire ruler is not going to stop me.
#wikipedia is the very best of the internet. #ElongatedMuskrat has made the former #birdsite into the very worst. We can all choose between sharing knowledge and swimming in a sewer
Meanwhile, City of Malibu has had all of its social media emergency info accounts suspended, except on Instagram. #FranklinFire #wildfires #CAwx #birdsite
Apparently this is a real tweet from Scottie Pippen, former Chicago Bulls super star, Michael Jordans right hand man. Not only very impressive boot licking but also throwing in a crypto pump and dump scam for good measure.
Wow. Gross.
Something about barn doors and escaped horses, but also something more than that about the long-overdue X-odus that is finally happening from what used to be the BirdSite.
