I wish the internet was a nicer place.
I'm trying to make software simple again.

@kyonshi I mean, they've already outdone Toyota for their "unintended acceleration" stats. Bravo.

@furilabs Halium is a compatibility layer between an existing version of Android with patches to the Linux kernel. It cold boots Android and runs a compatibility layer over top.

@spocko @uspolitics @nicolesandler That is the most limp response to nazi's I've ever heard. Even the applause to Raskin's applause points is weak. We're so screwed.

@jemal @vees I remember it going on for so long that I had a conversation with a co-worker about whether it was the quarry or an earthquake. It was nuts.

@vees I still remember going to twitter to see if what we experienced in MD was indeed an earthquake. My office was near the quarry in hunt valley, and we'd get regular shakes from them blasting, but twitter confirmed in seconds that it was indeed an earthquake.

@jemal At my very best, I just pipe the outputs to a text file. You're right, `sed` is just as crazy.

@WarnerCrocker I feel your pain. Supposed to be a high of 10F today in Western NY. Was 0F when I woke up.

Here in western NY I've had to run my snow blower every single day this week, in addition to having my neighbor plow out our driveway on Monday, and this isn't normal. Stop calling it weather, and just say what it is.

@bontchev Substance issues are no laughing matter. I'm a recovering alcoholic and would never cast aspersions on someone that has fallen victim to the same thing. Really bad take on your part.

@vees I'm not trying to be negative, but I've been a victim of not backing up my files off site. I had an HD crash, as well as an externally connected USB HD at the same time back in 2006. I lost every single picture I took before that date. I now subscribe to the 3-2-1 rule […]

He looks so sweaty. I'm not judging as a recovering alcoholic, but I also wouldn't put myself in charge of americas military.
