Look, I'm a 50+yo white suburban woman and *I* know better than this. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkfP-L8V4AAAel3.jpg

Huh. I would have expected Twitter to get its stuff together by 24 hours later, but I still have 8K tweets and "send your first tweet."

Birdfeed says I have a whole bunch of tweets left but would I like to send my first one? 🤔

(Hopefully the databases will get reconciled soon so I can confuse them again with more deletions.)

Also I am required by law to notify everyone that I have the hicc

Son has borrowed one of my Pi's (until we next trek to Micro Center) to build a pomodoro-type system for himself. 😍

TBH I kinda like the exposed technical bits. You can get an add-on back that is large enough to conceal all those and still have room for a HAT (daughterboard that mounts on those exposed pins) but then you can't fold it down flat onto the base anymore.

Haven't actually stuck any Lego bits on it, but otherwise the Pi's new Smarticase is very nice.

While cleaning up the packaging I noticed it was made in China (of course) but the company is Philly-based. Looked up the address; it's a rowhouse over in southwest Center City. 👍 🥨

Hmm. API has stopped bringing up any tweets when I request my TL, but the profile still says there's a few thousand left. Guess those are deeper in the salt mines. I'll try more tomorrow. (Kinda curious what the date is on my "newest" tweet.)

So apparently if you delete newest-to-oldest you eventually clear out everything birdfeed has in its current buffer, so when you look at your page it offers
"Send your first Tweet" with a couple of pre-loaded one-click options. 😆

(It still has 10K to go, but it took it a few minutes to bring more up from the salt mines.)

(I'm kind of doing the "delete tweets older than N days" except I don't tweet anymore so... all of them.)

Tweets are 10% deleted. 👍

(On nerd account. Formerly-local account may take longer because email validation is not working on it. Apparently GMail doesn't like Twitter.)

Whatever the opposite of assistive device is, that is what this cat is. He's very clingy post-hairball and is sitting in my lap keeping me from finishing this birdfeed downloader/deleter.

Seconding the "audio as assistive device" thing.
