I first heard about LoRa years ago while working at Fitbit. LongFi smartly combines the IoT networking protocol with a payment protocol. On Friday, I brought the 3rd @Helium router in Stockholm, Sverige online. Here’s an unboxing video.

I thought Slack was mediocre, but then I had to use Discord.

Having to mute a bajillion channels in Discord is a terrible NUX.

@kornel Ah yeah, in a programming language or protocol, this strategy would be bad.

Ember.js solved a similar problem with "editions". emberjs.com/editions/

@kornel One strategy is to ship the features continually and then announce them to the press later. It’s ok if existing customers enjoy them earlier. The press moment is to attract new customers.

“Stage Mother” was a delightfully surprising find today. Touching story, tons of great one liners, and lots of SF b-roll that made me miss The City. m.imdb.com/title/tt8364138/

@da@mastodon.technology I get that. But that happens anyway with modern polling and east coast states reporting results before west coast states finish voting. Just seems dumb to not start counting early this year due to the pandemic related increase in mail in voting.

Watching “Chernobyl” on HBO. Why do the Russians speak with the transatlantic accent instead of a Russian accent?

Periodic reminder that Trump lost the popular vote by nearly *3 MILLION* votes in 2016.

Republicans then lost the House and local governments across the country in 2018.

Trump and his political allies have never represented the majority of Americans.

Just confirmed my first faxed vote from abroad was received and signature verified. My vote will be counted in the week after Election Day. Why aren’t these votes counted in real time as they are received?

Prediction: SF/SV companies decreasing compensation for current employees who move away from SF/SV will instigate a tech union movement.

I wish every OS would adopt command/control + v for paste without formatting and shift + command/control + v for paste with formatting.

@PINE64 When will PineTime get the Fitbit Versa 2 body and components (OLED screen, centered)? Looks like its still Versa 1.

There is nothing I or you can post on social media to convince a Republican to vote for Biden.

Instead, talk to someone who agrees with you on 95% of things and make sure they vote for Democrats.

Well that was the worst news I’ve woken up to since moving to Sverige.

Democrats need to prepare to pack the Court. and grow backbones.

The incredible “Easy A” came out 10 years ago yesterday. My husband and I quote this movie regularly to each other. Stanley Tucci & Patricia Clarkson are the perfect parents.

A former co-worker once referred to Facebook as “‪the devil’s taint sweat” and I think about this often.‬
