so let me get this straight... we're mad at adobe for something that they're not doing but we're excited about figma doing the thing adobe is accused of doing?

@madebygps I used to work on the Teams team and this happened to me more than once (thankfully not on a date though). People have strong opinions about their messaging apps. 😆

Signal is rolling out new settings today to finally let you create a username instead of revealing your phone number to everyone you communicate with. This is probably the most requested feature in Signal’s 10-year history.

I tested it out in beta: https://t.co/2VPnC87wed

[Signal @signalapp]

Introducing usernames and phone number privacy on Signal! We’re making it possible for people to connect with each other without having to share phone numbers. Now launching to beta users, available for everyone soon. https://t.co/YcBEyD1AIA

@USPSHelp trying to order covid-19 tests and getting the error "We couldn't validate your address", but I was able to validate in the lookup tool. Was unable to submit a service request, got the error "There was a problem submitting your Service Request. Please try again later."

[Signal @signalapp]

Archive a conversation in Signal to remove it from your chat list without deleting it entirely. Useful for group chats for past events, convos with exes, or any recent chat you don’t want staring you in the face when you open Signal.

.@mer__edith says, “WhatsApp collects information about who’s in a group… who’s talking to whom… profile information… photos, and it collect other really key information that is extremely revealing and often more powerful than the contents of the chat.” #PostLive

Being apathetic about digital surveillance is all fun and games until you get a speeding ticket...

Google Maps, but with speeding tickets

When you take a photo in Signal, it doesn’t save to your phone’s camera roll 🕶️

This keeps it really private, not stored on cloud backup servers.

@ProductHunt Those damn Litter Genie refills (for the uninitiated, they're essentially cat poop bags that go into your cat poop pail).

Hey disabled folks,

What are your predictions for how the next 6 months will go related to pandemics & global epidemics?

Nondisabled people, this is your spoiler alert.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.

It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.

People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

[Stoned Adulterer @ElaDarling]

So glad to live in a nation with gun care and health control.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

To clarify: This did not happen at my current job, which is truly the best place I've ever worked. But I've heard this comment more than once. Please don't assume that just because a woman looks young she has no experience. 😑

[Amy Roberts @amiemae]

Me: *been working for a decade*
Man: Is this your first job?
