Dear Tech/Hacker Twitter:

I am begging you: do not try to solve systemic racism with code. You cannot program this problem away.

Listen to Black people, an app is not going to fix this.

When was the last time you backed up a copy of your posts from social media to a computer or disk you control?

All my social media posts originate from my website so I already have a backup before it's even on Twitter!

People are saying that whitelist/blacklist are etymologically not discriminatory and have nothing to do with races. You're probably correct, but there are modern connotations, so the etymology doesn't matter.

Everyone in the tech industry has come across the terms "whitelist"(desirable) and "blacklist"(undesirable). We should start deprecating this terms for less racially charged language, like "safelist", "blocklist". Tech can be less exclusionary @venikunche @EmmaBostian @ugonna_t

While I don’t pretend to have all the answers, I’m encouraging creators to create and post their content for the people who need it and rely on them.

But to respectfully not push or promote in conversation platforms.
Respect that.

I feel it’s an appropriate balance.

Everyone Shut up.

I don't normally share my thoughts on important topics because I hate confrontation, but y'all have irritated me to the point of vocality.

Want to amplify black voices? Then listen to me. You better fucking share this.

This is going to be a long ass thread

@aaronpk Hi Aaron! Thanks for the stream today. I believe you mentioned a Raspberry Pi Hyperdeck clone. Do you have a link to that? Would love to check it out.

Thanks! It's still in the works, but I'll definitely feature it on my stream when it's announced!

This is not political; it's a human rights issue. I don't care what side you vote on; oppression, thuggery, media silencing, and MURDER from the top down is unacceptable in ANY society; to happen in America is beyond despicable. Congress, where the HELL are you? #BlackLivesMatter

working from home during the outbreak of a pandemic wasn’t easy but turns out it was a lot easier than working from home while authoritarianism is overtaking your nation

If we are okay with the idea that even the media must "go home because it is curfew" and it is "their fault for being there" and that police have a right to attack them, I don't think you've thought through the future and country you're endorsing.

This all feels dystopian.

To everyone that said we were overreacting in 2016.

To everyone that got sold on a slogan and a hat and some slick social marketing.

To everyone that chuckled and said “How bad can it be? What’s the worst that can happen?”

DO YOU HAVE YOUR FUCKING ANSWER NOW?

In 40 years, will kids be told the pandemic was the tinder and Floyd's killing was the spark, or that systemic injustice was the tinder and the pandemic was the spark?

I know the world is hella messed up right now but Netflix has tons of movies/shows and tons of people that work on AI/ML for them but still in 2020 if you turn on subtitles most jokes appear on screen well before they are uttered, Netflix you have the capability to fix this
