If you have ever wondered what Twitter would have looked like had it existed in 2002, wonder no more, I am here to satisfy you

Honestly can we go back to native desktop apps for websites being simple little tools that do one thing right and use the native window look and stay out of the way and don't use a ton of RAM and don't contain an entire goddamn web browser that would be great

Hey @YouTube why don't you decrease the % you keep from super chats and memberships for awhile to help us weather this storm. I'm sure you can afford it, and it'd be a gesture of good will to those of us that are creating to help people get through this time.

One competitor to YouTube is buying a domain name, starting your own website, posting videos on your own website, providing a selection of SD video without charge, and providing HD video to subscribers. It's called IndieWeb.

It’s a @zcamcc, and connected to a @Hollylandtech wireless HDMI to get it into my @Blackmagic_News ATEM Mini. I wouldn’t call the image stellar but it works. Good enough for what I’ll use it for… keeping a camera on me when I make a run to the gear shelf during the live show.

Add a new checkbox for "Quarantined Self"

Here’s a little quarantine project that anyone can do!

- Start using a password manager, like @1Password
- Reset weak / reused passwords on sites to unique strong passwords
- Go BIG! 64 characters!
- Setup two-factor* authentication everywhere you can
- * 2FA/MFA/multi-factor

Just congratulated my cat for washing her hands for over 20 seconds, as recommended. But also she's touching her face at the same time...

This is a time for us all to come together by being as far away from each other as possible.

It’s only Quarantine if it’s in the Quarante province of France. Otherwise it's just Sparkling Isolation.

I'm doing some homework on IoT stuff via http://aaronparecki.com/home-automation/ and found @WyzeCam. Son, this company is like way more lean (no extractive behaviors), hardware isn't designed to be aged out like Apple products and your data can stay local!

Great design though!

A school superintendent said something profound in his address cancelling school for the next 3 weeks. He said: In the end, it will be impossible to know if we overreacted or did too much, but it will be QUITE apparent if we under reacted or did too little.
Hear those words....

One of my favorite parts of IndieWebCamp is the infectious looks of happiness, joy, and glee people have when demoing what they’ve done on their own websites. A special thanks to everyone big and small who participated in the London camp this weekend.

Had a fun and chatty social distancing live-stream about market crashes, supporting tipped workers and musicians, being immunosuppressed and how cute my cat is. Special appearances by @indiewebcat and @aaronpk Also this is my first sugar I have eaten in 2 weeks, maybe I will survive. Watch the replay on YouTube.com/anomAlily/

As experts joining newscasts from home-

If you watch closely, you will see them dropping frames constantly.

This is NOT a function of Skype or Zoom. It's because they are connecting over WiFi. WiFi is a wonderful technology that is HORRIBLE at low latency video.
