    I couldn’t stand ’s new giant janky ads and didn’t want to cancel my subscription because I still love the Times’s reporting, so I wrote a custom uBlock Origin filter to remove the ads. Don’t feel guilty at all tbh.

    The three things you need to get right for a good mobile app experience is 1) navigation drawers 2) infinite scrolling lists 3) positioning of the on-screen keyboard relative to other content. The web currently makes all three difficult.

    There are so many huge, janky, obtrusive ads in ’s new design that I’m considering canceling my subscription. Pages jump around constantly as ads pop in while I scroll. It’s a terrible experience.

    Air quality in Portland is so bad right now I had to abandon my above-garage office (not connected to central air) and go sit next to an air cleaner in the house in order to breathe. And I’m not normally very sensitive to air quality. 😷

    I use Tweetbot because I hate literally everything about the native twitter app and web experience. I want tweets from the people I follow in chronological order. I want the robust and adaptable user and keyword muting capabilities that Tweetbot has.

    We’ve heard feedback () from our customers about the pain this causes. We’re committed to understanding why people hire 3rd party clients over our own apps, and we’re going to do better with communicating changes

    Twitter: yes to hate speech, no to third party clients. I’m honestly not sure sometimes why I’m still here, but this will certainly make it easier for me to stop coming back.

    It is impossible to overstate how incredibly impactful and funny and alive Moby Dick is. Even the 200 pages about whales in the middle rock. Everyone please read Moby Dick. GOODNIGHT TWITTER! 🤘🏻

    Hell of a story from : Twitter says InfoWars hasn't violated its rules. But it looks like that's not true. And he's got a whole bunch of evidence.

    If the goal is to protect American satellites, then militarizing space is exactly the wrong way to do it. Militaries blow shit up. Blowing shit up creates debris. Debris in orbit stays in orbit for a long time, and will destroy far more satellites in the long run.

    The flip side of this is that if you try to fix everything all the time (or even just make sure someone else does it), you’re going to burn yourself out. I have high standards and I’ve made this mistake many times. Pick your battles. Fix the things that matter.

    If you notice something at your company below standards and don't fix it or make sure someone else does, you have set a new standard. Complaining about it does not count as fixing it. If someone gets upset/tells you to stay in your lane, they've set an even worse new standard.

    The other day a new user joined Cake and introduced herself. The responses from the Cake community were so positive and welcoming and lovely that it made my cynical little Grinch heart grow three sizes. ❤️💙💚

    Hiding behind rules to avoid doing what is right is moral cowardice, and if you don't think banning hate from your platform is the right thing to do then you are aiding and perpetuating that hate.

    A Twitter spokesman has gotten back to us to say Alex Jones and Infowars do not currently violate Twitter's rules.

    ILM VFX artist ’s Back to the Future tweets are pretty much my favorite thing on Twitter, ever. Today he continued his multi-year thread about awesome details in the BttF trilogy.

    Okay, back on my BTTF2BS, and back to this minute and a half shot of 1955 Doc and 1985 Doc. The two passes were probably shot on the same night, and within a reasonable timeframe (Doc Brown's costume and makeup changes were relatively minimal)...

    To be honest, I’m not sure how to balance the performance goal of long-term caching with the need to avoid caching malware. May need to reduce RawGit CDN cache TTLs across the board.
