All good folk. Mostly tech, some photography, and a few favors returned. Enjoy!

The massive Twitter data breach is real. Here is a small offer of proof. There is data from entire countries in the data set.

Twitter was not invented by hotshot entrepreneurs. It was modeled on TXTmob, a tool activists designed for the protests at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

Real innovation comes from participatory experimentation, not profiteering.

Billionaires ruin everything they touch.

“I question people who exist in suboptimal tech spaces for complicated reasons they don’t even fully control” feels a little too punk rock for me this morning. Let’s put on some albums that increase the peace.
Twitter, for many people, is not an addiction per se, any more than your desire to wake up, go out into your community, and see friendly faces who support you in a difficult world is an addiction. I understand why some people stay, move slowly, or keep a presence in both worlds. It’s not a character defect. 2/2
