Thinking about the future while Twitter burns
Hello?
Is anyone out there?
If you’re reading this, you must be.
If not, hell, I must attempt to keep on living even if no one’s observing.
I’ve not seen my friend’s cat in three days.
I don’t know if my friend has a cat anymore.
I don’t know if I have a friend anymore.
All I know is that Twitter’s collapse has accelerated.
For now, come check out these games, if you could.
Different types of user (new accounts, established accounts, and rubes) have different limits.
At one point, unregistered people couldn’t see tweets at all.
I’m not sure where all that stands now.
Twitter also went down for several hours.
I don’t know for certain what’s there nor how it’s presented to you.

This was yet another week where Twitter refused to show the full #screenshotsaturday archive.
This time, it cut off mid-Saturday afternoon.
This column suffers for variety without them.
Several Mastodon servers have sprung up to house devs, and #ScreenshotSaturday happens there too.
I wasn’t convinced it was a good use of my time.

Mastodon instances are not permanent either, mind.
Everything posted on it was lost.
All its content and data will be deleted in September.
Now I need to find an alternative for that, and hopefully find time to fix old posts too.
In The Secret Ties of Strandcliff you’re free to order and ready daily newspapers.
As game heavily relies on information sometimes it’s vital to be in the know.
Sneak peek at another enemy bang out you’ll fight in Interlopers!
All services will one day die.
Of course, everything dies.
What do you think of this music?
Does it suit the vibe?
Maybe fleeting joy is the best we can hope for online.
Summer days at the beach!
Community-run communities would spring into existence, grow, thrive, decline, then die.
While it can feel apocalyptic at times, there’s a long way yet.
Building and keeping a following is difficult.
Who need some action on disco?
Just wanted to share my passion project with you all.
Professionally, I should rethink.
I will continue thinking about ways this column might need to adapt.
In the meantime, hey, enjoy these games!
