Does this mean that the "song but every time they 'thing' 'things happen'" meme is creative misuse? #dcc105

I wasn't afraid of failing because I knew I would anyways #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@jsuzmarks But what constitutes that difference? I agree that there is one but the pursuit of it implies that it is achievable #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@galyaDCC Making sure that it works for older and older versions is diminishing returns. But not supporting iOS 8 isn't right yet. #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@galyaDCC Which would be understandable if it was an older version. Code has to be compatible for multiple OSes 1/2 #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

I know that my old 2011 macbook Air had the RAM soldered on so it couldn't be upgraded. Really hard to get games to work with 2 GB #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@DccErin Likewise, choosing a phone that will last is thought to be a consumer decision, not a corporate one. #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@DccErin Choose green companies, make sure that they aren't just pretending to be environmentally friendly, etc. #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@DccErin Societally, yes. The environmentalist movement was decided that the burden of saving the planet was on the consumer #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

Don't forget that Comcast also owns NBC, too #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@BGonzalezDCC Whoops

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

I got 21 microseconds between Chicago and London, assuming the shortest possible distance along the Earth's surface #dcc105

Fun fact: Equinix isn't even mentioned in Ashburn's wikipedia page. It does note that Wikimedia has a data center there though #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

When it comes to the internet, it's nice to keep one's idea of the cloud grounded. #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@sflynn2020 Probably not. If anything, they need a larger scale with a bigger internet (semi-relevant xkcd) https://t.co/8KtHHTLaso #DCC105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@ninagayleard However, many countries have redundancies set up. It's more likely that they would be the ones to shut it down in war #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

I like to think that the connection the internet provides discourages international conflict, but it's simple for it to be shut down #dcc105

[Matthew Kirby @DCCKirby]

@catidcc And don't forget trying to connect to Pokemon Go the week of release either #dcc105
