 Sent a suggestion on the Grauniad app to enable me to mark all articles read and also suppress read articles. This would stop me having to scroll through the same stuff multiple times. I wonder if other online newspapers offer these features?

 I recently found that a blog post of mine had a broken link to a Mastodon thread because the owner of the post I linked to chooses to expire their posts.

In future, I should:

* Summarise the thread in the blog post for posterity, reflection, and ease of reading.

* When it seems essential, link to my own Mastodon post(s), since these don't expire.

This feels like a corollary of POSSE.  Anyone got further thoughts on this?

 Scientists map the connectome of a fly's brain, consisting of 130,000 cells and 50 million connections.

"The wiring diagram was made by slicing up a fly brain [...], photographing each of the 7,000 slices and digitally putting them altogether. Then the Princeton team applied artificial intelligence to extract the shapes and connections of all the neurons. But the AI wasn’t perfect – the researchers still had to fix over three million mistakes by hand."

 So Meta's #Threads gets #search  capability. Just tested it out and it works as you would expect.... 
 @9b033548 What would I expect? Some unhelpful algorithmic search order with ads and promoted rubbish? Or maybe that will come later. 😉
