Based on how I've only had one more hit on my followees moving to mastodon, I'm moving up my plan to turn off my account here. I shall be shutting off my access to Twitter at the end of next week.
I am @kinnison@fosstodon.org if you're newly moved and haven't remembered me.

110 of the people I follow still have not published a mastodon identity in their profiles.
I've only picked up one more in the past week, so if this trend continues, I'll be leaving this account for dead much sooner than I expected.

Here's your friendly repeat reminder - I'm now @kinnison@fosstodon.org and as I notice content being on the fediverse I am unfollowing people here so that I can better see who I'm losing out on.
I expect to lock down my account and ignore this platform by the end of the year.

As I start to notice people's content being more on the fediverse than here, I intend to start unfollowing people so that I can see what mess I have left. I am unlikely to post much if anything on here going into the future, but I'll keep the handle for now.

Reminds me of something from the Artemis Fowl books. Paraphrasing:
"Foaly had constructed the entire LEP IT system such that if anyone other than him tried to operate it, it would come crashing down about their pointy ears"

Getting locked out of your company without notice makes it really hard to disable the dead-man switch for your logic bomb.

Who can I pay to write a Rust EFI application that does nothing other than scan available partitions for binaries it can run and put them all in a selectable list before running one of them

It wasnโt the rich who saved us from Covid-19. It was the low paid key workers who government asked us to clap for. Now itโs those very same people - who canโt afford to pay for their heating or weekly food bill - that the same government is prepared to throw under the bus!

Tried twice to charge at an @IONITY_EU charger. No contactless, Google pay broken on their site. Paid by card but charge failed both times and had to call support to get the charger to release. Worst charging experience in some years. Unlikely to ever use again. Disrecomnended

Hi @MotorFuelGroup - Any idea when the EV charge station built at Chancellor Ln, Manchester M12 6JZ will be open for use? It feels like months since everything looked finished but the chargers are still unavailable. (FS664 if you need a site code)
