Cheers Twitter, now your name is Mastodon

I am amazed that Blogspot as a platform still exists in this age of streaming live events, videos of all sorts, medium and substack looking to monetize any decent text written by journalists or other authors.

This blog remains my digital trace of writing tech stuff and other rants, before my Twitter adoption. I was really forced to write in 140 chars, then I was happy to benefit from 280 chars, but it formed me in my rants, really.

And I thought I would not resume writing on it, as I'm not a native English writer, obviously, and my many mistakes only allows me to transmit ideas, not correctness. 

But now that APIs are gone as well from Twitter (X, whatever) ... I see the widget on the right hand side faltered, and that's why I replaced it with my Mastodon handle.

If you want to check out my rants, Mastodon is the place. 

I no longer have time to write blog posts, nor do I have the drive. Quick rants yes, specifically on topics that pick my brain. But one never knows, for the moment Blogspot still functions, whatever Google's plans are with it ...
