How To Make Twitter Bearable

  1. Delete your account.
  2. Delete the app.
  3. Do something better with your time.

… a good idea isn’t good unless it’s gonna do good.

Every single time you use any part of Facebook

Every time you use Instagram

Every time you use WhatsApp

You contribute to the denial of the Holocaust

I have done this but I cannot do it any longer. I cannot live with myself if I do this.

Another reason to quit Facebook: Facebook found to actively promote Holocaust denial

For @kimberlyhirsh and all of us:

You be you.

Don’t concern yourself with work or “being productive” to the point where your health is comprimised.

Whatever you need to do to make it through these troubled times; do that.

Don’t forget to love each other. 💙

Autumn is kinda here 👀

Before I get Today I Learned back up and running, I’m going to leave these links here:

TIL that Tom Holland’s dad is in-fact Dominic Holland. 🤯

“MP of the Year”? Good grief.

Oh look, another new productivity app to distract from work. 😇

Always be careful of people who breathlessly critique something, especially something being built on the web, with righteous dismissal. Often such people will also make grand promises and then produce absolutely nothing in the aftermath of their dramatic cries of opposition.

I wonder if there is a UK version of the Lawfare blog 🤔

Further to my last post:

If I was forced to use the iOS version of Firefox, Today I Learned would be a non-starter. And that’s just my tiny little speck of dust in the world, let alone all of the other ideas killed by app-store restrictions.

This why I have a difficult time with even the concept of comments: Francisco Tolmasky brings insight to the public.

Look at the sheer volume of ignorance on display. Better to stay silent, etc…

The Picture-in-Picture feature in Firefox is pretty good. As such I expect Google to break it pretty soon.

Wait… is it true that you can buy ads on Facebook within the iOS app, using Facebook’s payment system?

Apple: We love rule-breakers 😍

Also Apple: No not like that

Apple forcing Automattic to ruin the WordPress app with IAP is a great example of how hard you can try to lose the trust of your most passionate supporters.

Even if Apple claim that a mistake was made, it doesn’t matter; they should not be shipping this junk of an experience.
