@Folletto I’m really puzzled by all these “return to office” campaigns (Salesforce, Meta, Google…). What are companies trying to get out of it? Is it about control for them?

@1Password is there a way to un-bind Shift-Command-X from opening the 1Password window in Chrome on macOS? It conflicts with the shortcut for strikethrough text in Google Docs, which I use much more often. Thanks!

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

@OvercastFM I listen to a lot of podcasts by going through their back catalogue one ep at a time, but I’m really struggling as the visual difference between played and unplayed is minimal. Any plan to increase the contrast? Or is there another way I haven’t considered? Thanks!

There’s much more to the the GameStop/Reddit story than I realised at first. A fascinating read: vice.com/en/article/pkd…

Left Bangalore last night and just landed in Shanghai today afternoon. I am surprised by how Pudong Airport and this metro city has been running, under the #COVIDー19 challenge. Here are some of my observations: Key words: Color card, QR code, Self-protection. (Thread)

@Ocado I see you have no bookable slots until April 12th. Is it because they haven't been released yet, or are you actually going to be fully booked until at least that date?

@3amallin You’re right! I wonder if they used FaceApp before casting 😜

@BenjaminAhr maybe you know already, but I thought this was interesting: the name "Data" is the only one in the TNG Bible with a pronunciation guide. #greatestgen

Government: You owe us money. It’s called taxes. Me: How much do I owe? Gov’t: You have to figure that out. Me: I just pay what I want? Gov’t: Oh, no we know exactly how much you owe. But you have to guess that number too. Me: What if I get it wrong? Gov’t: You go to prison

Fascinating hacking of how Instagram works. Also, sobering to see how relatively easy it is to exploit the system by extracting value without contributing much. medium.com/@chrisbuetti/h…

@NVIDIAGeForce I'm trying to redeem the GeForce Now code you sent, but the captcha is not loading. Are you having issues with the captcha right now? Thanks.

@pecke01 I really enjoyed your episode on SW Engineering Daily and I've been inspired to try and get my company to use Klarna for our payments. I can't find a way of contacting you through the website. How can merchants get in touch? Thanks!
