Decided to break out the Orange Jumpsuit for Cyberdelia at the DNA Lounge.  Crowd participation made the film Hackers 10x better and yes, rollerblades were in use. #hacktheplanet

You'll find Gus at @thebalm on Valencia most Saturday mornings.

Wow

Yeah, it's great. Perfectly sized for my commute and oh so relevant.

The "Internet Gopher and Adversarial Interoperability" EFF Deeplink Blog post is now on Cory Doctorow's most excellent Podcast.

What should I buy with my 00 Nexus 6p settlement that came in this evening?

I miss the local ILEC ISPs. They really got so many people online while remaining true to their communities.

Glad that Gopher got the job done for you!

In 1991 a GB was ~$7k

Still amazed that we could pay for all that expensive hardware and had such lousy salaries.. At $30k/year 1 disk would be .3 SWE/y

Clarinet archiving looks to be taking up about 100K blocks (~50 Meg) a month, and if this is the case, we're going to want to get another disk for it, ideally 600+ Megabytes.

Bob forgot to mention that he maintained paperboy.micro.umn.edu, a Mac IIfx running INN for a good long while. That enabled Clarinet UPI news.

Having full text searches in 1992 blew people's minds. Plus you could bookmark a search, which was another game changer!

Cory did a great job of capturing the early days of Gopher in his article.

Sad to hear about the death of Larry Tesler.

“Every application has an inherent amount of irreducible complexity. The only question is: Who will have to deal with it—the user, the application developer, or the platform developer?”

I think it would be interesting to have 'deprecated by' and 'replaced with' added to

Uhhh. Google Forms as critical election infrastructure?

All Internet services should have publicly disclosed headcount numbers..

A must read. Too many quotes to pull, but I was glad to see Conceptual Integrity and Behavior instead of Features included.

What if the Agile software movement was the manifestation of an entire industry that was, just, like, dealing with some stuff right now?

Verifying my Knowledge Panel.

Didn't expect to have to Include a selfie with my ID.

Remembering people that used to have fake IDs just to buy booze it seems like a bit of security theater...

@lindner @c_lindner Thanks everyone for making this my most popular tweet! Can someone explain what this AfD oaf is saying? Google Translate doesn't have a "white supremacy" setting...

Guess I need to learn some German insults. (Or aggressively block)

@vonneudeck @haekelschwein Thank you! Being mistaken for a @c_lindner is okay. Where else would I see this:

Maybe someone can give me a German language joke I can use to respond to mistaken identity? Maybe a Stilblüten ????

Both me and my macbook admit we are powerless over tab opening.

I just wish I got mistaken for @patricklindner instead. Volksmusik is better than Neoliberal Politics!

Everything I know about German Politics comes from mistaken rage mentions for @c_lindner

Sadly it appears that the centrists once again prefer fascists to leftists. Also see "The Iron Law of Institutions"
