Did you know that the new Twitter API has a process for sharing technical proposals for changes? You can learn more via our open evolution project on GitHub https://github.com/twitterdev/open-evolution
My #SteamDeck review: great for folks who like fiddling (with *everything*). Eventually, you'll remember you bought it to play some games...
TIL there's a standard for stickers. @juliaferraioli did *you* know about this? (if so, why am I just learning?) https://sticker.how/
Love it! 🌈

How can I improve the https://fediverse.info people directory?
I have a few ideas:
- Allow registration via statuses that contain hashtag topics so you don't need to pollute your bio
- User avatars (held off on this as it would require moderation)
- Topic intersection (group results by multiple topics)
- Filter by instance/domain
- Use localStorage to keep track of profiles you seen to show fresher results
Any more? Boosts appreciated! #fediverseInfo #activitypub

OK, domain(s) acquired for one side project… I’ll need to do some more work before deploying a site. https://github.com/andypiper/awesome-modern-twitter-api
Right, @Xbox Cloud Gaming all set up on #SteamDeck, Steam back catalogue downloaded 👾 that's all for today. Time for bed.

So... the #SteamDeck arrived! And also, excitingly, so did this (and some other goodies, from @yongxiangxu251 🙏🏻)! Unsure which one will provide me the most entertainment, but I'm working now, so I shall investigate later! #esp32c3 #micropython
Just because someone treats you poorly, doesn’t mean you have to do likewise.
