Despite all that's happened to Twitter in the past few months, the legacy TweetDeck we all love is still available - and installable(!) - with a few steps.

Having broken [my beloved Varmilo VA108M] (which I absolutely intend to fix one day in the near future, FYI,) months ago and [just last week] completely totaled the period (.) key on my Absurdly Overpriced Toilet Professional iPad Keyboarding Apparatus, I decided to buy [an on-sale variant of Keychron's K2] with the loudest switches (the blue ones) available, assuming that surely no keyboard could be truly, disruptively loud.

I was very wrong.

to fully experience the breadth of the nearly 100 @monaapp themes I've collected already, it occurred to me that I could quite easily create an automation that'd cycle the set theme every time I come back to the app.

I created this Siri Shortcut...

(which requires @[email protected]'s Actions app, which is free, weighs hardly nothing, and should be considered a requisite if you intend to give the platform any of your time. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/actions/id1586435171)

...that uses Mona's Get Theme and Set Theme actions to choose a random light/dark installed theme with respect to the system's current state. out of the box, it also includes a Speak Text action to read off the title of said theme without cluttering up notifications.

to replicate what I've shown, you'll need to set up an automation with a single Run Shortcut action targeting said Shortcut that is triggered every time Mona opens.

(do NOT select both open and close triggers unless you want to experience a very hilarious, endless cycle.)

oh yeah.... the very last Global Variable action is there (since you have Actions anyway, now,) in case you'd like a method of retrieving the current theme's title without disabling the automation first.

My best attempt at a succinct guide on using TweetDeck's List "Export" feature to save a list of the users in your ... Lists.

For this year's rich fruit prime keynote, I thought I thought I'd start up a Twitter Space since nobody'd been joining any of the others I'd done for like a year. The one person who did join and graciously indulge me about consumer healthcare tech was definitely more interesting than the entirety of this presentation.

Honestly I’m not sure if I actually communicated any coherent argument in this video, looking back, but I really just wanted to make sure I got myself in my new Drafts shirt and PJs taunting Obsidian users with violence because it’s kinda funny.

One of these days, though, I might actually finish this thing: https://github.com/extratone/bilge/issues/301
