US folks should consider updating wageworks for commuter benefits.
I found out the hard way that Clipper has a max accumulation of BART passes...
The end times approach. Gopher protocol over HTTP and support for TLS.
But seriously I now have the weirdest Masto timeline with Adam Curry NoAgenda Show folks and retro-hacker Gopher Protocol people.

We've all been there, on the tenth page of search results, not finding what you're looking for. This is a whole 'nother level. Loved it.

Indeed! I've been following the growing #gopher community. Definitely an example of a Retro Upgrade for our current computing environment.

Looks like Adam Curry spoke about Internet Gopher on the Rogan Podcast, so I had to dig this out of the email archives from September '93

If you want you can refer to case #457576616 It's closed, but should have details.
Intuit/TurboTax has a market cap of $74B, and just spent $7B to buy Credit Karma. They can afford to hire people to manually fix these returns...
Turbotax, you had one job.. Because of this bug surviving spouses have had to mail instead of e-file for years. I escalated with support. They said it would be fixed, but could not notify me when. Just keep trying...

So yeah, don't forget about your Drive Birthday quota expiration..
The current deal is 2TB for 9/year, which isn't bad. You also get 100 'play points', which nets you in raw play credit or more if you use in-app.
And plus it saves me from looking at S3 compatible archive options now... (I use restic + rclone to backup to drive..)
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

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

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?”

Uhhh. Google Forms as critical election infrastructure?

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...

@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 ????

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"
