Interestingly, you can abuse the scoring system (not manually, only with a script). Since the mouse *jumps* to the locations along the circle, you can just use very few steps and still get a great score because every step you make is very accurate – but the result looks funny:

As I recover from yesterday's viral episode (ugh!) I'm getting some distraction playing the wonderful (and often hard for me) #lichess puzzles: https://lichess.org/training
$ bat https://twtxt.net/twt/edgwjcq | jq '.subject'

hahahahaha 🤣 Does your client allow you to do this or what? 🤔
#LetsMakeChartsFakeAgain
#LetsMakeChartsFakeAgain
#LetsMakeChartsFakeAgain
jenny
, tt
or any other client where fetches are driven by user interactions of invoking the app. What do we call this type of client? Hmmm 🤔 Then I can tell who uses yarnd
because they are "seen" more frequently 🤣
I'll think about doing this too, but I have to do it carefully so as not to cost too much in terms of resources or performance...

The following flags no longer exist:
--max-cache-items
--max-cache-ttl
Instead use
--max-age-days
, which controls how much of the cache is pulled back for Timeline, Discover and Mentions views.

moved this to today since tomorrow we have to wake up early and drive to TN. half a pizza and two pints sloshing around still felt okay. the pepperoni definitely gave me some additional heartburn though!
