Why delete the Twitter app?
I have more than 3,000 followers over there. That's important and valuable. So I want to keep posting and engaging at least.
But deleting the app is a vote. A signal. A voice. I'm a single user in an ocean of others. But maybe it counts for something.
No more third party apps. Well, I'm actually deleting the Twitter app from my phone then.
Sad times.
Will check in on desktop occasionally.
End of an era. Twitter literally changed my life in so many positive ways.

@jackmcconnell You made it!! 😃
I’m still a genius.
Lifehack time.
I got a water flosser last year. Which is great for cleaning your teeth.
But today I realised it’s basically a miniature household power washer.
I just used it to unblock the plug in my bathroom sink.
In seconds!
And gave it a clean too.
Amazing.
In todays 5 Minute Window I’ll finish making PHPStorm look nice:

Kinda happy with how my low-water, low-mess, low-noise coffee station is turning out in the office.
Lots of compromises. But making lots of nice brews here!
Seems I have decided to properly embrace Blue Monday this year. Weather’s crap. I need sleep. I think I’m going to eat every single molecule of carbohydrate that I come across.
Huh. Tweetbot is back up! Sort of. But not completely. 🤔🤷♂️
Here we are then… this one is for @royalrex
5 minutes on how I got my PHPStorm setup looking sweet.
(With another 5 coming tomorrow! But that's it. Just 2 videos!)
Gah! I have my 5-Minute Window video recorded, edited and exported. But not uploaded and published yet.
Incoming soon!!!
Tried to add PHPCS and PHPStan to this too. Gosh, coding standards are painful to set up.
Seems like some WordPress standards aren't compatible with running them in phpcs on PHP8.0 😬
Yay! My plugin that syncs Mastodon posts to #WordPress now syncs images too!
I prefer to stay in one place to both read and post social media. So doing it this way works better for me (the alternative being post to WordPress and syndicate out to Mastodon)
Does anyone know what Geometry Dash is? (Context: I do, but I’ve never heard anyone else mention it on social media)
If you do, do you know the story behind it? Why is it suddenly popular? It’s like 5 years old‽
Is it a TikTok thing or something?
WTH?!
I just accidentally discovered this search feature in @ivory
Then I check and it’s been in Tweetbot ALL THIS TIME?!
I NEVER noticed this before!! 🤯
Yesterday was a bit longer than 5 minutes.
5 minutes is an aspiration, not a hard limit!
Let's continue building a website.
I've not done #FollowFriday for ages, but I'd love to share:
@aurooba whose 5-minute podcast experiment is wisdom and joy, and inspired me to make things
@jessitron, who's philosophical insight is matched by the energy with which she communicates it.
Thanks to both for all that you share with us!
I'm not sure how this will go today. I don't have much of a plan.
We're building a website though.
5 more minutes…
Well here we are. You know what I’ve been saying for literally years now? I’ve been saying “Hey, Twitter! How about you let me PAY for Twitter “Pro” that’s ad-free (because I don’t click the damn things anyway) and that lets me use a fully functional API.
Yes: productize the API! Everyone that wants it values it. They’re probably already paying for a third-party client app.
This is what Twitter Blue should be.
And now it’s likely gone.
Sad times.
