My tool for making a simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets and threads is now live:

https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/make-your-own/

The tool runs entirely on your computer, in your browser. None of your data is uploaded anywhere in the process. The output is a zip file of a basic HTML website that you can upload to a web host if you choose.

The site also answers most of the common questions I get. Please read it first before asking me questions here!

There are accounts from the first settlers to Turtle Island that the forests were so abundant with food, and that the #indigenous folks they encountered seemed to eat along their pathways while traveling easily. This wasn't an accident. The forests were cultivated food forests, a great technological advance that was then mostly decimated, chopped down, and made into monocrops of things like wheat and corn. #permaculture and #foodforests are Indigenous innovations. Let's bring them back!

People wonder how feasible it is for websites to integrate with ActivityPub. So here's an interesting thought experiment for you:

44% of websites run on WordPress.

Joining ActivityPub is just a matter of installing this plugin on a Wordpress site. https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

5 y/o: Why do we have weekends?

Me: *eyes gleaming* Well, it’s because of this thing we have called UNIONS…

It is just so hard to believe that we have had computers for this long and there is still not a common easy way to send a file from one computer to another.

These computers are on the same network. But what most people would do because it's the simplest, is to send it halfway across the world to another server just so it can come back to another computer sitting within reach of that person. That is the simplest way.

The idea that there is a single commonality between my address being posted and a rich celebrity's flight plan being posted is just emblematic of the absurd logic people will use to defend the rich.

I backed the Flipper Zero on Kickstarter and got mine some months ago.

Now, initially, I did some pretty basic things with it - loaded all my remotes into it, tinkered with NFC, opened a Tesla's charge door. You know, the usual. I've even gotten pretty good at Snake on it, because I can.

Then I started seeing TikTok videos and reading the comments on them, and man, this thing is wild. They told me about all the cool shit it can do, so naturally I started experimenting!

To date, I've:

- Overridden drone controls and organized a dozen stolen drones into a bomber wing to harass local wildlife.

- Taken over a Tesla entirely. I didn't keep it. Just drove it around the parking lot like a really expensive remote control car. Then I changed the horn to the theme song from the old Flipper TV show, for science.

- Discovered the human 'off switch.' I didn't realize such a thing existed until I saw a TikTok video that pointed out the app on GitHub. Download it and put it on the Flipper. Run it, point the IR window at the person in question and click! Human off. There is the very minor detail that this is generally referred to as, in TikTok parlance, unaliving them. Don't recommend doing this to people regularly.

- Found the AI function, but then shit got weird. It stole my car. I don't mean I stole a car with it, I mean *it* stole *my* car. I drive stick. How the fuck does something without arms, let alone hands, drive stick? How does it even see!?

- After I got it back, I figured out the right frequency to tap into those mind control chips they put in the COVID vaccine. Problem is the Flipper AI realized what I was doing, and I don't think I'm the one forming the mind controlled army anymore. Send help, before it's too late. I don't think the tinfoil is working anymore...

10/10. Would back again.

Thinking about the asynchronous power of todays ‘speakers’ in the US - everything from Citizens United to Musk. The First Amendment is not cut out for rampant unregulated business scale. It comes from a point in history that assumed oppression of citizens, inequity and effective dictatorship, can only come from the government . The American belief that commerce will correct course in favor of a better society seems unshakeable despite the vast towering evidence to the contrary.
