One reason I still use Twitter is that it trumps keyboard shortcuts over other social media I use.

Way harder than I anticipated: How To Share Discord Profile Link
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/11
Some of the people I know are not on any of Signal, WhatsApp, Google Chat, or other usual direct message platforms.
This left Discord, which I use more (at least weekly) than Facebook Messenger (once a month or so).
Sharing a user-link there proved to be quite a bit more difficult than I anticipated: it even involves enabling developer mode!
The steps are at [WaybackSave/Archive] How To Share Discord Profile Link [Copy & Share]

Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/07
A while ago, I wrote two threads (one in English and one in Dutch) about using the Twitter Alt-badge to make pictures in tweets more accessible.
The English one had the correct quote, but a wrong link which I corrected below (we want editable tweets!).
Two bots that I mention in reply-Tweets usually helps to rudimentary restore the text:
@get_altText @AltTextUtil OCR
in the first Tweet and to the reply that @AltTextUtil gives, I respond with another
@get_altText
Here are the two threads:

Twitter Lists Memberships: jpluimers
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/03/17
This was fall 2022: [Wayback/Archive] Lists Memberships. Wondering what Twitter lists I am on by now.
Via: [Wayback/Archive] twopcharts_nl on Twitter: “Bij elk overzicht met lijstnamen, waarbij de meest recente lijsten boven en de oudste lijsten onder staan, van bekendere accounts, zie je de verharding van Twitter. Zo ook bij dit account van @BoswachterTim”

Some more links on HEARN/EARN and BITNET relay (which chat and precedes IRC)
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/24
Triggered by [Wayback/Archive] Hillel on Twitter: “Gen-Z programmers are always chasing the new shiny thing like Tailwind and Svelte instead of learning CS fundamentals, like React”, below some links on HEARN, EARN and BITNET Relay: conference system before IRC.
I might amend it later with more information, but for now the list is so that I do not have to re-do the search queries.

Twitter image size suffixes reloaded: pbs.twimg.com URL information
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/18
It’s almost
- 8 years ago since I wrote about Twitter image size suffixes – via: Making silly #latex jokes is much more fun than doing final tweaks in my thesis on #coeffects…
- 2 years ago I wrote about Some experience of htmlpreview.github.io as a replacement for rawgit.com
- a day posting about converting a tweet URL to a Tweet JSON URL in Probably many more like these are needed to download Twitter videos: [extractor/twitter] Fix unauthenticated extraction by bashonly · Pull Request #7476 · yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Goal of the current post amend the above posts with information so I can later write a bookmarklet or web-page with JavaScript that – from a x.com or twitter.com – tweet URL can get the JSON, then the images and/or videos in all sizes, then generate a web-page from it for Wayback Machine archival.

Introduction to the Zettelkasten Method • Zettelkasten Method
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/17
Every now and then you bump into an interesting post on a workflow you already have but did not know the name for.
This time it is [Wayback/Archive] Introduction to the Zettelkasten Method which has this nice definition:
A Zettelkasten is a personal tool for thinking and writing. It has hypertextual features to make a web of thought possible. The difference to other systems is that you create a web of thoughts instead of notes of arbitrary size and form, and emphasize connection, not a collection.
I thought a bit about it and it feels quite a bit like this blog: the ~5k draft posts at the time of writing are similar to a Zettelkasten: short notes with title and links either internally or externally.
These drafts are private, but the actual blog posts are either public (already published: some 8k at the time of writing) or queued for publication (some 2 years at the time of writing).

Mailen en communiceren zonder Musk en Trump: Cloud Kootwijk – Bert Hubert’s writings
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/06
Hopelijk lukt dit iemand van de grond te krijgen, maar het zal wel stranden in regelgeving (net als GPT-NL wat tegen licentieproblemen aan loopt¹ en GEITje – wat vanwege licentieproblemen uit de lucht gehaald is ²) [Wayback/Archive] Mailen en communiceren zonder Musk en Trump: Cloud Kootwijk – Bert Hubert’s writings.
Via onder meer:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jurjen Heeck 🍋: “Mailen en communiceren zonder …” – Mastodon.nl door Stichting Activityclub
Mailen en communiceren zonder Musk en Trump: Cloud Kootwijk – @bert_hubert
“Nu in 2025 heeft Europa, Nederland en specifiek de Nederlandse overheid, besloten om al z’n communicatie en bestandsverwerking via Amerikaanse servers te laten lopen, gepaaid door slappe en ongeloofwaardige beloftes dat het wel goedkomt. Dat de Amerikaanse computers in de EU zouden staan doet namelijk niets voor de beschikbaarheid en vertrouwelijkheid.”
- [Wayback/Archive] laAckxtra: “Prima stuk van @bert_hubert ” …” – Mastodon.nl door Stichting Activityclub
Prima stuk van @bert_hubert ” Maar het is een ONUITSTAANBARE gedachte dat onze overheid, politie, defensie, ziekenhuizen en zorg binnenkort totaal niet meer met elkaar kunnen communiceren zonder Amerikaans goedvinden! Of zonder dat ze meelezen in onze (belasting)bestanden en berichten, overigens.”

The WordPress feature that “beautifies” (malforms!) your Blog text is called `wptexturize`: on WordPress.com you cannot disable it.
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/03
Over the years, WordPress started to beautify more and more text thereby malforming many (read thousands) of my older blog posts.
An example is this:
--jeroen
is now rendered as
–jeroen
The two hypen-minus signs or -- have become a en-dash or –, not even an em-dash or — that is is double the width of an en-dash.
So after figuring out the cause, I asked if one could change it for a WordPress.com blog backed by a premium account: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Hi @wordpressdotcom, how do I globally disable wptexturize for a paid wiert.wordpress.com blog (it has Premium subscription)? Over the years, it has malformed more and more of my text which I don’t want (as it is way too much work to re-visit thousands of blog posts).”
Unbelievably, the answer is no!
So WordPress.com mandatorily changes the display of all your old Premium blog posts and the only solution they offer is to upgrade for another USD ~17 per month to disable it.
