University of Michigan: Twitter data reveals partisan divide in understanding why pollen season’s getting worse. “Two things are clear from a University of Michigan analysis of nearly 200,000 Twitter posts between 2012 and 2022. One, people are really good at identifying peak pollen season: The largest volume of tweets about pollen often lined up with pollen counters hitting their biggest […]

Fuck 'em, seriously.

Кстати о художниках. В последние пару дней заметила груду распидорашеных картинок от именитых мэтров. Ну, типа, твит, а в нём четыре картинки. Тыкаешь по картинкам, а там – какие-то части тела. Оказывается, надо открыть такой твит отдельно, и эти картинки оказываются запощенными, как в обычных блогах – одна за другой, и вместе собираются в вертикальную картинку. Для самовыражения в таком формате художнику требуется премиум: понятно, что никто кроме синегальцев не мог до такого додуматься.
Забавно, что десять лет назад, такой же фигнёй занимались во вконтакте, только там были горизонтальные картинки, и они тоже съезжали во все стороны при ряде условий типа мобильной версии сайта. Правда, там премиум был не нужен. #Twitter
The brands we buy, the companies we work for, and the governments that represents us, are all on #Twitter and they don't see any issue with that.
Mir fällt absolut kein einziges Szenario einer Nutzung von Grok beim US-Militär ein, das mir nicht wahnsinnig Angst macht. Kein einziges.

Just wiped all my (re)Tweets and replies from #Twitter. I feel very mixed about it; normally I like preserving media, but good riddance to that site (I was already off for a year lmao). I'll probably repost some of my better Tweets here and on Bluesky over time. I'm much more active on Bsky, but in many ways I prefer Mastodon.
Just wiped all my (re)Tweets and replies from #Twitter. I feel very mixed about it. On one hand, I like preserving media, but on the other hand, most of my profile wasn't worth preserving, and I'm already a year done with that site and wanted to distance myself further from it. I'll probably repost some of the better Tweets here and on Bluesky over time. I'm more active on Bsky, but in many ways I prefer Mastodon, even though I hardly use it.
Mein erster Song gegen #Bigtech.

Da war #Insta noch in den Kinderschuhen, #Facebook wuchs, (ich hatte gerade die Facebookfalle gelesen), #Google hat sich mit #Chrome in alle Handys gezeckt, #X hieß #Twitter, der Erwerb anonymer #Simkarten wurden untersagt, das Internet war für #Merkel Neuland.
Es ist eingetreten wovor die #IT ler gewarnt haben.
