A brief message for content creators and our community.

Many of you feel lost and conflicted in the role you play. But we need you to help us even just get through our day and give us hope and remind us the world offers more than pain and darkness...

We still need Creators.

Some facts on Zoom's current plans for E2E encryption, which are complicated by the product requirements for an enterprise conferencing product and some legitimate safety issues.

The E2E design is available here:

In talking with friends about events, I noticed how much more powerful it is to remind folks that it isn't just "flash bang" but "flash bang grenade", they don't appear, they're launched. They don't go off, they detonate. These are weapons of war, remember to make that clear.

Proud of Portland.

WATCH - Once again, thousands of protesters are laying on the Burnside Bridge with their hands behind their back. It's the fifth day of protests in the City of Portland #LiveOnK2

It's been 24 hours and I still have yet to see any NRA member standing up to this military occupation they always say they need guns for.

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.

Wise words from @aaronpk: "Don't be like Apple, use existing open standards." - https://aaronparecki.com/2020/05/31/30/the-real-cause-of-the-sign-in-with-apple-zero-day

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

There are many better people to talk about the troubles gripping us right now then me.

But I want to make one thing clear. I support the rights of all and we need to do better as a nation ensuring everyone has fair access to those rights.
