What’s that? You think caucuses suck and should be replaced with ranked choice voting? Yeah, me too.

“The Circle” on Netflix is the best reality tv show I have watched since the first season of Big Brother in the US.

It reminded me of how we behaved to each other online in the aughts before Facebook and Twitter ruined the Web and everything else.

Dear UK,

May your union dissolve.

May your economy collapse.

May you become the textbook example of the negative consequences of modern isolationism.

The EU looks forward to your return as a shadow of your former self.

The garbage fire that is iPad multitasking is a good example of what happens when you start with an oversimplified interface paradigm and then just bolt more complex stuff on later, because you're afraid of people rejecting change.

💥 One of the creepiest things Facebook does is allow companies to send your data to it. You can now delete it.

1️⃣ Go to facebook.com/off_facebook_acti and “Clear History”.

2️⃣ Click “More Options” in the right menu and click “Manage Future Activity”, toggle the switch off.

I am disappointed so many of the people who tweet about and have not setup a Mastodon account somewhere. It’s federated. It works well. There is Twitter cross-posting to ease the transition. I subscribe to librem.one/ .

US cities and states banning cashless stores instead of starting a credit union and teaching financial literacy are solving the wrong problem the wrong way.

@jeremiahlee I guess also works for the planet’s temperature and sea levels.

This is happening faster than scientists predicted. We are so fucked. 😔🌍🔥

I am having climate change anxiety. This winter in Stockholm has been historically warmer by 5-7°C. Every day I wake up and think, “This is not right. It shouldn’t be this warm yet.”

“Sex Education” season 2 on Netflix was perfect. Candid discussions about relationships, sexual and otherwise. Representation across the spectrum. And such a great soundtrack.

My 3 most recent employers (InVision, Spotify, Fitbit) have had 10+ people dedicated to building an internal PaaS on Kubernetes/Mesos. Typically when lots of co’s are building the same damn thing, a winning 90% open source solution emerges. I wonder why that hasn’t happened yet.

(I had to wait a day because my barber was on vacation and gays are most powerful immediately after a haircut.)
