This isn’t complicated: closed systems — like the one this message is posted on — are fundamentally broken. A blog post from us is long-pending. While you wait, cry to Twitter, Inc. if you think that will help for some reason. teapawt.net/Twitterrific/status/98…
Twitter is making changes to its APIs that will break or limit features like live streaming in all third-party clients, including Twitterrific. Learn more apps-of-a-feather.com #BreakingMyTwitter
We've setup a Relay instance for Clojurians, with bridges to and from the Clojurians Slack. There's no 10k message limit, and this instance is free! 🎉 Join us at goo.gl/Tdsfv4.

If privacy is a concern for you at all you would do well to read through this thread. Follow the links. Have a look at your own data. Be aware what isn’t deleted when you “delete” it. teapawt.net/iamdylancurran/status/…
Want to freak yourself out? I'm gonna show just how much of your information the likes of Facebook and Google store about you without you even realising it

Even if you are intimately familiar with how much data companies like Google/Facebook/Slack collect on you, we’ll bet dollars to donuts you see something in your history lists and data exports that shocks you.

Particularly relevant, given the news of the week: “Seven Signs of Ethical Collapse” scu.edu/ethics/focus-areas/b…
We are trying to take a principled stance toward tomorrow’s software. We want your input. What are all the ways to avoid becoming the @facebook of tomorrow? teapawt.net/chrisinsilico/status/9…
Suspended by @facebook. For blowing the whistle. On something they have known privately for 2 years.
If those threads are confusing, @yonatanzunger and @TheAuracl3 are discussing Computer Science Ethics pertaining to this: theguardian.com/news/2018/ma…
This is lucid. If you are a Computer Scientist or Software Engineer, we would encourage you to read this thread and understand it. teapawt.net/yonatanzunger/status/9…

Debating digital copyright is kind of boring. Listening to the origin of the Amen Break is kind of fun. youtube.com/watch?v=5SaFTm2b…

Slack decided to close down their IRC and XMPP gateways. True to form, you can only read their announcement if you already have a Slack account and are logged in to a workspace: u.fsf.org/2i5

I created this bot last week and it brings me tiny hits of joy. teapawt.net/ErowidBobRoss/status/9…
I was weeping true tears and felt comforted by God as though he gave me a weird vibe, so I exited the booth.

I should really write down why I like using boring tech and safe choices to build excellent software that does interesting things. "Move fast on stable infra" is a credo to live by.

A doctor saves lives, a judge does justice, ... Sometimes, as a developer, I wonder how I could add meaning to my work. I do not speak of politics, religion, money, ego or fame. How, using my developer skills, I can help make this world a little better?

The future is real weird guys. Unless you were in kindergarten when the Windows 95 ad campaign launched. Then maybe it doesn’t feel that weird. But this is weird. #opensource #theuniversaloperatingsystem teapawt.net/AriyaHidayat/status/97…
OMG @Debian is available on @WindowsStore! I know how I'm going to have some fun this evening 🤩. It's hard not to ❤️ Windows Subsystem for Linux every single day!
