Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.
I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

Around in circles with deletion request. I’ll just block them and move on.
Well, looks like there may be some help pages for deleting the account now, wasn’t there the last several times I went looking. Still, dumb.
About a year ago, after not having used AWS for many years previous, I started receiving monthly invoice notices for $0.00
I can not find how to turn this off or delete my account anywhere in their dogs breakfast of account services web pages and similar useless help pages.
A+ shitty empire you have there, Bozo Bezos.
In the early 90s I worked with Data General Dasher D2 serial terminals that are the inspiration for the computers in Severance. The D2 was in the printer room and was used to control the print queues. The keyboards were shit, partly because even at that time those terminals were long in the tooth (introduced 1977), and the keyboards were starting to go.
My favourite as far as looks went was the D200, from 1979. I was also able to type reasonably ok on it and used an in house Oracle Pro*C Forms application in my main job as well as monkeying around with rewriting printer queue management scripts for the new AViiON DG/UX system that replaced a pair of MV/8000 AOS beasts.

Street Photography Magazine with Bob Patterson is a keeper. Bob rambles and wanders off topic a bit but doesn't grate on me.
Exploring photography podcasts for the first time in a long while. Found so many possibilities but there's some hosts whose voices and personalities are soooo grating. Nope. Nope. Nope. NEXT. Nope. Nope. Uhhhh maybe this one... Nope.
So many photos on Fedi these past few days of SPRING.
It's impossible to hide the fact that I am sneaking bits of toast and peanut butter to the dogs. CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH.
Sitting in this fast food restaurant silently judging people taking long calls on speaker.
Short wander in an industrial area today after dropping a car off at the mechanic produced some good frames, I think. Will see what they look like on the big desktop screens in Capture One later. #photowalk #flaneur
@the_arto Now I'm imagining dollar store double-oh agent in a covert Camry.
@Gumberculese Ditto on my cards at Morgan Stanley. HR had to approve any biz card changes and did so for mine, cluelessly, lol.
What kind of time travel is Intelcom Courier using?
It's currently 12:22 pm and there are three entries in the future . . .
This is my happy place.
Testing out my new camera. Worlds better low light ISO performance than my 2014 era previous camera. Which I need to now gather up accessories and boxes and put up for sale to defray some of the cost of the new-to-me one. (I did save a little bit by getting a 10/10 mint graded used one from a major online photography store.)
Ham-handed post-processed quickly in C1 and Nik Silver Efex to see what it looked like in black and white.

@ghorwood This part is most amusing :
" But because the Comex commodity exchange in New York, where the gold will be housed, requires a different size of bar, the gold must first be sent to Swiss refiners to recast it before flying on to the U.S. "
