Twitter Blue now allows 4,000 characters instead of 280 – no more ‘Sardine-Can’ Tweets!!! 😁

August 10, 2025February 11, 2023 by Karmi

I forget when I first joined Twitter, but deleted that account when going wid the Twitter Blue subscription for my Karmi Tux @KarmiTux account not long ago. Have one other Twitter account that is used a little on an old WordPress blog I still have.

Was never much for tweeting, but ended up wid three Twitter accounts at one point because of the three blogs I was running. Will probably delete that second account at some point, since Karmi Tux @KarmiTux is now my primary Twitter account, and my primary blog is the self-hosted Karmi’s Musings & Tech (aka KM&T) blog.

Had signed up for Twitter Blue on 12/14/2022, because I liked what Elon Musk was doing wid it, and less than 2-months later he introduces the new 4,000 characters long-form Tweet.

Tails – ‘Portable Operating System that Protects against Surveillance & Censorship’

August 10, 2025February 1, 2023 by Karmi

Tails = The Amnesic Incognito Live System. It is a ‘security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at preserving privacy and anonymity.‘ If you’ve never tried Linux then Tails may be an easy way for you to test it.

On my ‘KM&T‘ Blog ‘Hub‘ page dropdown menu there is the Linux ‘Hub‘ listed, and that link leads to my old Linux Newbie – since 1996 blog. Lots of handy Linux info there so I have made it a ‘Hub‘ to this new self-hosted KM&T blog. At that old Linux blog is a page located on the sidebar – Special *PURPOSE* Linuxes. There are some interesting ‘Specialty‘ Linuxes listed in the articles there.

Nobara Linux 37 – ‘Keep an Eye on this Up & Coming Linux OS!’

August 10, 2025January 15, 2023 by Karmi

Nobara Linux hasn’t been out very long (less than a year), but its “simple point-and-click user experience” keeps getting better! I first reviewed ‘Nobara Linux 36‘ at my Linux Newbie blog hub on 9/19/2022, and then ‘again‘ at my new self-hosted Karmi’s Musings & Tech blog on 11/7/2022.

Springdale Linux (SDL) 8.7 – ‘Headed to Princeton University’s Peyton Hall?’

August 10, 2025December 22, 2022 by Karmi

Peyton Hall holds the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University, and rumor has it that they use Springdale Linux there. If you’re headed there then you probably already knew that.

I once tried to get into Princeton University, before the days of computers ‘n internet, but they rejected me after I had walked ‘n hitchhiked to there from ‘Toilet Seat Cut‘.

Twitter is just the ‘TIP OF THE DEMOCRAT’S PROGRESSIVE ICEBERG’

August 10, 2025December 9, 2022 by Karmi

The Democratic party has always wanted to use the State in order to fully control and regulate all human activity here in America. They control all ‘Enforcement Arms‘ of our Federal Government. They control most Government Schools & many Private Schools, i.e., they control the education of America’s Children, and will attempt to toss Parents into prison if they get in the way. They control a majority of America’s news media, which has become less reliable than even North Korea’s news media.

Democrat’s have sought to control Free Speech in recent years, i.e., control it in a way that only the Democratic party can determine what Free Speech is, and even what constitutes “disinformation.”
