Cheers to @howtojohnwilson's series finale, ending with the most f-cked up interview of the show, which is saying something. Definitely one of the deepest, weirdest, most amazing TV series in years (even among @nathanfielder's other gems).

Goodbye blue check! If you can just pay to be verified it becomes meaningless. Not that it meant a lot before anyway…

This is one of the most impactful projects I'm working on at @Contentsquare, please consider giving us a hand! #dyslexia.
Contentsquare's foundation is building Readapt, a non-profit platform to enable people struggling with dyslexia to better read digital text. We’re looking for 10-15 English-speaking people with dyslexia willing to beta test. Help? #Dyslexia #betatest

Fun fact: years before investing in @Sketchfab (acquired by @EpicGames!!), I briefly considered launching a similar startup. But this is in the past now, so I just decided to sell a few domain names I considered back then. First one: Sculptr :-)

Comment en 2021 le @GroupeLaPoste peut-il avoir une politique anti-phishing aussi ridicule ? C'est pratiquement de l'incitation à enregistrer de faux domaines *-laposte.info . Il devrait y avoir 1 ou 2 domaines officiels et c'est tout !

Latest weekend hack: flashing #tasmota on smart plugs via serial connection! Why would you do this? As I wrote, "The last thing I want is having my plugs call home to whomever their former master was. " :-)
