I can't believe I get to work with the people I do. I'm so in awe with everyone, and could not be more happy.
With the British election underway, and Comey about to give testimony, I hope this can be International Stick It to the Fascists Day.
British friends, I'm preaching to the choir, but: maybe don't vote for the xenophobes that want to tear down human rights and the internet?

We have unprecedented tools for decentralized organization; many people back authoritarianism in order to undermine this. It won't work.
Banning strong cryptography is a stupid idea. Even if it was possible, it would make us much less safe. https://
False equivalence; getting an education shouldn't be about salary. (Although, of course, it should also be free.) http://
Pretty awful @Uber experience for @madridkds. Unacceptable from any service. https://
If you're building projects, you absolutely need to be prototyping. https://
True security comes from freedom, and ability for everyone everywhere to lead good lives. Of course May doesn't get it.
The best thing about Britain is its tolerance and ability to just carry on, even in the face of tragedy. Of course Trump doesn't get it.
Just heard this for the first time. The lyrics are a bit on the nose - but it's rising up the U.K. charts. Good. https://
This is an excellent move. Something like it from every browser vendor (as an option), please. https://
I'm so bitter about Brexit that I can't bring myself to pay attention to this next UK election. Abstract talk ruins real peoples' lives.

Today's decision will make Americans significantly poorer, hurt most businesses, and have long-term effects that will be hard to undo. It's hard to see how they're not just out for themselves.
The America I love, and want, is the one where everyone is welcome, where the world is embraced, everyone has the freedom to love (and marry), everyone has dominion over their own bodies, everyone is free to follow the religion of their choice (including no religion), and we take care of our communities and our environment. These guys seem to want something very different.
Whoa. Pinboard bought Delicious! I'm a huge fan of Maciej and this press release doesn't disappoint. https://
"Facebook is an attack on the open web." And therefore, our freedom to communicate and publish freely. https://
