Now that Twitter is shutting off APIs and 3rd party clients, I guess it really is time to move on. I have no interest in using the official twitter client.

@eBay After 24 years, I’ll be closing my eBay account.

🧵 @eBay has removed PayPal as a payout option & now requires you to link your checking acct, w/ terms that say they can debit directly from that acct w/o first contacting you.

[Michael Bond @mbond]

@eBay Worst part is, the leadership member didn’t care. Was completely dismissive of my concerns.

@b0rk I would question why you can’t reproduce locally, or in a test environment. What’s different? Start there.

Then work on reducing that gap, so you can better automate testing so that the bug can be caught in the future. Containerize. Better local fakes of dependencies. Etc …

@m_wimpress Zoho, for 4ish years. Chose Zoho because of the integrated calendars and contacts. Shared calendars work great with other family members.

I needed cross platform (Linux, Mac, iOS, android) support for multiple people. Zoho has been great.

Good on @weatherchannel for taking a stance on tracking and advertising! I'm sure this will have the effect that they want, and won't drive users to another service.
@accuweather here I come!

... the URL bar in Safari is complete garbage, compared to Firefox. Safari's results are unintuitive, often times not what i'm looking for, and urls pulled from history can't be edited before visiting.

[Michael Bond @mbond]

I'm really trying to love the Safari web browser, for about a month Now. Ever since Firefox started using 140% of my CPU. The integration with Messages, Apple Pay, and the system is really nice.

But ...

@JoeRessington The decade you were in high school in. So, obviously, the 90s is the best.

@uxbear Most browser now are built on Chromium. Considering edge isn’t broken out in that graph, is it counted in Chrome or “other”?

Someone forgot to put the M&Ms on this M&M ice cream sandwich. @mmschocolate

@ChrisLAS @dominucco @system76 @CoderRadioShow I’d like to know how it, and it’s software, compares to a UHK.

America is so much better than what we’re seeing today.

A better question … what is stopping full MacOS from running on iPads?

It feels like now is the right time for the convergence of mobile and desktop.

[Michael Bond @mbond]

It just occurred to me. What is stopping full fledged mac apps from running on an iPad now?

1. iPad apps can run on Mac OS
2. The new iPad trackpad / keyboards are really nice.
3. iPads have cellular options, making them great mobile computers.

Likely some missing APIs?

@AppleTMBini Yoda hadnt been a public figure since the end of the clone wars, if he ever was. people probably didn’t know about him

The empire was still struggling for control & affecting people

The force wasnt an influence on most people. Lots didnt see the Jedi as saviors. Just privileged
