One year and nine months since I got burnout in my programming job, and today for the first time I was able to sit in front of a computer and do some work again.

Take burnout seriously.

On one of the hottest days of the year, spare a thought for all the poor Farage voters having to walk across Clacton-on-Sea in the hot sun to go vote for him.

I felt the metal arm extend around my shoulders, squeezing inwards with a finely calculated pressure. "First time reading hopepunk, eh kid? Yeah it can get you like that."

It's very important to occasionally allow the drone to catch and eat the bobsleigh otherwise they get discouraged.

Another completely astounding variant sudoku. Doesn't need clues, just the logic is enough.

I wish they sold a version of wasabi that wasn't dyed green, it works really well on my beef sandwiches.

@Edent The archive also contains the full images, though the filenames aren't given in the JSON and have to be constructed as - My comment about the t.co links was referring to the behavior of the HTML page they give you, which takes you to a t.co link when you click on an image to see the uncropped version.

Twitter
"Elon Musk has announced a general amnesty for suspended #Twitter accounts... Accounts suspended on Twitter include Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon, rightwing UK commentator Katie Hopkins and David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard." I had been hanging on to my account for debugging our script but this is insane. If you continue posting I'm going to assume you are happy with sharing a platform with these people.

@Pepijn I don't, sorry. I'm not sure it would work well as a webpage service, because it would need large data transfers. If you just want a way to view your tweets then open the HTML file in your archive.

@josephtlucas@fosstodon.org Yes, exactly. If there was a bulk request for 100 urls at a time that would be workable. But of course their business model is lock-in. Our code in progress: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser/pull/42

Expand shortened urls by abaumg · Pull Request #42 · timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Starting from the code uploaded by Atari-Frosch in #9, I added functionality to expand shortened URLs from known shorteners. This PR would fix #36 and #38 as well.

@chicagonz The Twitter archive contains all sorts of things like your 'lists' and 'moments'. My script doesn't try to parse any of that but you could likely extend it to do so.

@stevenlawson If you just want to see your tweets, the archive they provide does come with a very user-friendly HTML file that you can open.

Next Wednesday (7pm 12th August) is not just solar eclipse day (for western Europe) but also peak Perseids meteor shower.(everywhere). Definitely a good evening to take some blankets and sleep outdoors.
