  • Oh, I get it May the forth kind of sounds like may the force if you’re squinting and underwater.

  • While the third that left ought to be commended, remember that they’re the third that got a job offer or can afford unemployment during a pandemic. Please don’t judge the two thirds, as some (or many) may be lining up a job before they do the same.

  • Big Sur is to macOS as ME is to Windows.

  • Feature request: Allow notifications for X minutes after using the app.

  • This Basecamp memo reminds me of the worst talk I’ve seen. I was basically how to spin any team as diverse & claimed a white male team is diverse if they’re from different US states. (No names because I don’t think it’s what the conf organizers wanted & had reason not to expect.)

  • Any conversation about diversity at Basecamp can now be shut down by a white guy claiming it’s a societal pipeline problem.

  • I have real trouble thinking of a hashtag design example that will ever top Apple’s decision ports are ugly without considering the tangle of dongles it introduces.

  • I really wish @GitHub would add and document oEmbed endpoints for Gists. Mainly because it would be super handy but it would also be fun to see @WordPress committers race to commit this. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41206

  • I misread some graffiti this-morning as “vote farts”. Farts are funny so I probably would.

  • The ABS (or at least someone claiming to be them) keeps sending me letters for a financial survey addressed to an obligation ID using form letters that don’t contain my name. They can access the electoral roll but still insist on sending the perfect template for scammers.
