sadly this is largely quiet, due to the downfall of twitter :( I miss the olden days. Feel free to message me here if you want, but instagram might be faster.

I do not appreciate this being used for a "not active threat" alert. I thought there might be a present and immediate and local threat to life. Not a "fyi".

It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.
@msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer Is there any chance you could open source the code behind pablo.buffer.com ?
So I'm a junior dev, and I jolly well love Pablo, but I hear that it's not a key focus for y'all to say the least.
I'm super happy with licences like AGPL etc - and of course, you're well reasonable to say no, or point out how it's somewhere near the doormat in priorities - but I just wanted to voice that love for it exists, and "you are not alone".
@msanromanv @ay8s @hamstu @buffer @joelgascoigne Now Pablo has been retired😭 and is no longer available - would you mind releasing it as open source? <3 😘
Is there a train times app, that lets you "avoid" a station?

I miss when twitter was good.
I searched the handle of someone I feel like I barely know, and discovered enough conversation to suggest we were almost fairly close in the past.
Sigh.
Is the Balmer Peak real?

Passover at the house of a student and consumed liberal quantities of Manischewitz wine before
returning to their respective homes sometime around midnight. "

He spent the rest of the night formalizing his idea, and by daybreak he had effectively written a complete

"So I can do advanced magic with literally talking robots, but I can't reliably store a decimal number accurately in my database?"

Today I actually learned.
I can't work out if I think this poster is very funny, or very amusing.
Somehow it feels like "both"
