Got a question for you all: Which of the whopping 59 app updates from the last week do you want us to highlight in the next #TWIF? Anything particularly important or interesting? You can see the candidates by scrolling through the home screen of the client app.

"• If $10 were given for every installation of #OpenBSD in the last year from the master site (ignoring the mirrors) we would be at our goal.

• If a penny was donated for every #pf or OpenSSH installed with a mainstream operating system or phone in the last year we would be at our goal."

Maybe the problem is not the other taking offense, but us not being able to communicate our ideas & feelings properly
PSA and reminder:
The terms "blacklist" and "whitelist" are racially charged. Please use "blocklist" and "allowlist" instead.
Yes, the terms are old. Yes they're not directly based on race. But they _are_ based in the systemic idea that "white == good; black == bad". Just because something is traditional doesn't mean it's acceptable.
It took me a while to see just how insidious little things like this are, too. It's ok to take some time to understand. Just please switch terms while you do.
FYI, when sharing a link, check if the following are present in the URL
utm_content
utm_medium
utm_source
utm_campaign
#sm.( followed by random string)
These are “engagement trackers” and they can reveal your source for the URL
Consider the #privacy implications if you include them. They’re not needed for the website you’re visiting to actually show you the content
wouldn't this mean the end of duck typing in dynamic languages? #ruby #python #js etc
