I'm tired of explaining this, but here it goes: Why do *I* think more women aren't pursuing CS degrees? Let me start with a story about how I developed a love for everything tech.

That in an effort to chase an algorithm, Youtubers are simply parroting each other in a rat race to manufacture drama. Not saying that their content is bad, but it's just redundant and is creatively bankrupt.

Piracy is important. If distributors and license holders aren't going to give consumers a fair shake, they deserve to have their entire catalog pirated as far as I'm concerned. It's all going to hell in a hand basket and I really don't care if those companies survive.

My 2 litmus tests for whether or not a stranger is a good person: 1: They put the shopping cart back where it belongs 2: They stand a few feet back from the airport baggage claim until they see their bag, instead of cutting in front and blocking people's view for no reason

10 years ago today @aaronsw took his own life after overly aggressive prosecution. He invented internet infrastructure. He defeated the greatest threat the Internet had ever seen. And you probably don't know who he is. You should. Here’s his story 🧵

On the New Year’s Eve, everybody’s into making predictions Many come up with futuristic hypotheses, as if competing to single out the wildest, and even the most absurd ones. Here’s our humble contribution. What can happen in 2023:
