10 Popular Songs That Are Surprisingly About Drugs
Nothing is better than a good love song or an upbeat summer hit, but sometimes those songs’ meanings can be quite deceiving.

@javivf@adn.org.es 12 Hlirs without power? 🧐 Where do you reside?! 🤣
Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from 7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! – I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social’s 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update
