I haven’t read much about #Twitter’s new “subscription” thing (paid, like App Dot Net #ADN tried years back). But by comparing it to ADN, I think I have already stated my view on how likely it is to succeed. Can they find a way to make it succeed? I’d say yes: add extra “paid only” features. If people care enough about those features, they’ll pay. If paid users…

I wanted #ADN to succeed, because I felt that many of #Twitter’s user-hostile anti-features were meant as ways to increase advertising revenue (and often copied from #Facebook, where said user-hostile anti-features frequently did increase ad revenue). But, I thought, how many people will pay for App Dot Net, when they can grit their teeth and use Twitter without paying? My a…

If I had a time machine, what time period would I (re-)visit?
I don't think I would want to see much of the past ... certainly not enough to risk accidentally changing something that could have cascading consequences into the present and future.
But I think it would be interesting to observe the changes one or two hundred years from now.

@geniusmusing Well, there was that girlfriend and my (at that time) best friend, her brother; we all moved away from that area to different places and I lost contact with them. I know it wasn't as perfect as I remember, so it would ruin my memories.

@geniusmusing I don't know where you are in your #Python journey, but https://www.udemy.com/course/python3-for-beginners/ and https://www.udemy.com/course/python-complete/ are currently under $15 each.
They both cover #Python3

@bthall See parent post.

@geniusmusing Raw packets sounds fun! Now I'm semi-regretting not doing that security program when the intro price was so low.
I think I'm going to take the D and Python 3 Complete courses.

Finally removed #Monal (an #XMPP client) from my #iPad. It never worked right (which I put down to Apple restrictions on background apps), but after an update, I could not even find my ‘roster’ of contacts. I understand it is an awful platform, but you don’t have to make things worse. I may try #SiskinIM (which I believe is made by the #Tigase folks) next. I do understa…

@mangeurdenuage I am indeed. Someone is likely planning to wrap the open source app with some added proprietary features and another name.

From COVID19Tracking https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking on Twitter: Some states continue to have issues reporting hospitalization data. Well touch on those problems later on in this thread. But in at least 16 states, more than 1,000 people are hospitalized with COVID-19. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1286799132577890305/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/66741

Once you think of nasal oranges, can you continue to eat citrus fruits?

By the way, that image in your mind of pulling oranges out of your nose? You're welcome.

From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: The Higgs boson discovery was made by two experiments at CERN - ATLAS and CMS. It confirmed the theory of how particles acquire mass and led to the #NobelPrize for theoretical physicists Francois Englert and Peter Higgs. The picture shows a 1:120 scale model of CMS. https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1286553961059713024/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/66737

Getting sibling responses to Vincent the Vegetable Vampire. I think I'll also forward it to the sons. I know the younger two will remember (we saw repeats of Electric Company years after the fact ... not sure whether it was still in production at the time, but I did not like the newer shows).
