wanna see one example of a long list of reasons why I feel emotionally burnt by working in open source: https://t.co/z6jfH73rcr

In a hyperbolic mood, I'd call it the coder equivalent of Stolen Valor. Instead, I'll call it disrespectful and a bit bullshit.

Hey @Uber, Why the fuck are you spamming my iphone push notifications with your political agenda? Fuck that noise and fuck your presumptions about interrupting me. This is why the internet sucks these days.

Remember children, cyberpunk is dystopian. The Cybertruck is for dudes who get hair transplants; For those with a more solarpunk bend, look more in the direction of https://t.co/ScKw6s1ytW

Awesome to see YETI dropping the NRA. Being pro-gun doesn't mean being pro-NRA, nor does it mean you can't agree on sensible gun control. Time to go buy a new cooler.

P.S. Fuck the NRA

@Get_Shift Thanks for the tip, but as mentioned, already uninstalled. Please tell your executive/product team -- whoever is responsible -- to stop being shitty. Here's a return tip/fix for the engineerings:

```
if (confirm("Should we start Shift at login?")) {
installLoginItem();
}
```

[Scott Fleckenstein @nullstyle]

Dear @Get_Shift, It's totally dick-ish to take it upon yourself to automatically start up when my account logs in. Before I even progressed from the trial mode. Ever heard of an opt-in? Uninstalled.

Checked my transaction history since 2007. I've averaged -- and I'm outing myself here as a techdouche -- $10,000 spent at @amazon per year. Neary 1800 purchases over that same period. Sucks for you missing out on that cash going forward.

Time to put my money where my mouth is: @amazon you'll not receive another dollar from me until you stop passing it through to Breitbart and the NRA. Fuck those assholes. As a first step, I've canceled my kindle unlimited and amazon prime. Next up is closing my ec2 account.

APFS issues (Pro App breakages, Disk utility password disclosure) on High Sierra seem to show just how far @Apple has fallen. Le sigh.

#arrival also shares the same message about humanity with Hyperion, my favorite book series. Great to see a story like this so accessible.

[Scott Fleckenstein @nullstyle]

Louise Banks is Aenea from the Hyperion Cantos. Their story arcs are so similar, but you can now get it in movie form. Well done #arrival

@timbray 5 second latency is low enough for plenty of useful work: https://t.co/jtYuU7LMnS

@arpit @StellarOrg @matschaffer Anytime! This is an area of research I am actively working :) I hope to write more about it going forward.

[Scott Fleckenstein @nullstyle]

@arpit @matschaffer @StellarOrg Thanks for the link. My response was getting giant, so here's a gist: https://t.co/yFmWQMu8c7

@arpit @matschaffer @StellarOrg Both are very different between stellar/bitcoin and have implications in decentralized protocol design, IMO.
