Dear @Webex , Please:

Remember my layout settings between meetings.
Stop popping a message that I am the cohost.
Stop making my click join meeting after I already clicked the other join meeting button.
Stop making me confirm I want to leave a meeting after I click the red X.

In the meantime we’ll be hanging out on the Mastodon network over at https://t.co/TtUgntFuoT and we’ll soon be shipping a new app called Ivory. If you liked Tweetbot, you’ll love Ivory and will feel right at home using it.

Say Goodbye to Tweetbot.

We've been proud to serve you over the last 12+ years, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to shut down Tweetbot.

Thank you so much for your patience and outpouring of support over these tough times at Tapbots.

With the bird company making it impossible for me to use the apps that provide the user experience I prefer, I will be only dropping by here occasionally. I will be on the breast-tooth app instead: techhub dot social at butchhoward.

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps not working.

@pragprog Write the code so the person who was not sitting with you at the time can understand it.

@TaliaRinger The stories from the Bobiverse by @Dennis_E_Taylor have a good take on this. Each copy is new and unique with a fairly close starting point at the moment the copy is made. (In those stories to meat-original got destroyed during the copy, but the digital sources continue).

A couple years back, O'Reilly published the book "Software Engineering at Google." It's good, I read it.

Now, you can read it online, entirely free. Do yourself a favor, and at least flip through it!

A 9th ballot ties us with the 1923 election. Once we get past the 12th ballot, it would just be the 1819 fight (22 ballots) and the long deadlocks of the antebelllum era (1849, 1855-56, and 1859) that had gone on longer.

@scalzi I think he excels at what appears to be his real goal: a few weeks to several months of care, food, and a room without endangering anyone. Job well done. (But sad that he couldn’t just go somewhere and say, “I need help” and get it.)

[butch howard @butchhoward]

@m_anas_dev Nope. Did not get much into any games (tabletop, board, RPG, or video).

@Grange95 All of crypto feels like the crypto version of FTP. It slid int scam-land much easier that FTP.

There is an actual dollar (or yen, or won, or whatever) underlying all of the "money" in the below statement:

The ICO industry (using that term lightly) has raised ~$15 billion dollars.

Zero. *Zero.* That is how many actual, usable products have shipped.

[butch howard @butchhoward]

@ClayDowling Well, yeah, of course:
