Dear Followers, I can't say that the moment has particularly been prepared for, or that it's the end. But it's only fair to let you all know, at this stage in the evident accelerated gain of entropy here in this musky twitterverse, that I return here infrequently.
So, perhaps…
WHERE DID THOSE SUBS DISAPPEAR TO, @telegraph? This is supposed to be a newspaper of record. Can someone please explain to @jkjourno (page 14, World News today) that you don't "reap havoc". You wreak it.

While all those legacy blue ticks undergo rapid unscheduled disassembly, my personal gold tick firmly remains here on my tweets. To see it, of course, you'll need to be a member of my exclusive $8 per month subscription service.

WTF is this??? Musk insists users unsecure their Twitter accounts? We may be very close to the last straw here.

I'm not going to self-censor my Twitter bio to remove my Tusker handle.
I've been here a long time and given Twitter a whole bunch of stuff. I've benefited in return. But that's not going to work with the bird in a cage.
We continue our in-depth exploration of Chinese manufacturer @Terramasters latest NAS operating system, TOS 5. In the light of recent ransomware attacks, security is our focus. testedtechnology.co.uk/?p=12…
Sadly, I can't promise to be posting much here in the future. I'm heading over to Truth Social.
Only kidding...
That's @bidmead@mstdn.social of course.

Where on earth, @screencrafting did you get the idea that @fadeinsoftware was "…created by a big, Hollywood screenwriter: Craig Mazin, writer of the Emmy-winning series Chernobyl." Mazin writes well, uses FadeIn (it's great). But Kent Tessman is the dev. screencraft.org/blog/the-ult…
Following the lead of young @glynmoody, I've signed up, toe-in-the-water style, to #Mastodon as @[email protected].
Worth a try if you want to breath clean air.
"…out of the strong came forth sweetness."
Russia, a State rotting under the pressure of its own "special military operation" and the consequent sanctions, is initiating a switch from Windows to Linux for public procurement IT.

Part 10 winds up the series with talk of Gnome, Kpatience (yet again) and using the Compose key.
This should leave you nicely Linuxed and ready to take on all comers. testedtechnology.co.uk/?p=12…
GIFT ME A BREAK
Yes, "gift" as a verb has been English usage for 400 years. But its proliferation, particularly in #PR, twinges my verbal sensibilities.
But I've grown fond of the innovation "pre-loved" for "second-hand". It has a warmth. More of that, please. And less gifting.

This schematics issue means that any competent repair shop can fix the electronics at low level. And the high level fixes can be done by you with the screwdriver/spudger that comes with your @FrameworkPuter.
Interface schematics for our 12th Gen-based Mainboards are now up on GitHub: github.com/FrameworkComputer…
As always, full schematics are available to repair shops that get in Framework hardware for repair!
Oh, yes. @lproven spells it out for us. Life outside the razor-wired walls of your rented apps and operating systems.
