One great way to keep your data safe is through strong encryption. #dataprivacyday https://twitter.com/dhsgov/status/692804849314992128
"Then British TV needs to start pushing its creative talents to excel". Well, and stop being a closed boys' club. http://www.engadget.com/2016/01/26/chris-chibnall-doctor-who/
Every community should have a code of conduct if it wants to be a safe space.
Are personal websites still necessary? #indieweb https://overcast.fm/+FE-bqwn9U
@timweston Just seen this. Best to email! ben at withknown.com.
@stevejalim As a matter of fact, it still thinks I'm Professor Falken :/
@abrams @kevinmarks This was about AMP, in the context of tailoring content to be sent to different social networks (vs syndicating links).
I'm grateful every day for the opportunities I've had, many of which were down to decisions my parents made, for my benefit.
Why it's hard to succeed in Silicon Valley when you grew up poor. http://www.vox.com/2016/1/27/10828326/startups-and-poverty
Hanging out at Homebrew Website Club at Mozilla SF. We're just getting started, but it's not too late to turn up! 6:30-7:30. #indieweb
Rinse and repeat:
"The service I depend on is down!"
"Let's take control of our important data!"
"It's back!"
"Never mind! Carry on."
@mapkyca (I just tried and completely failed to install letsencrypt on Coke :/ )
@mapkyca CPanel is way too hard to use for most people. I agree about plumbing - we just haven't quite reached that point yet.
@mapkyca Let's Encrypt is still way too hard for most people. And: infrastructure is not there to support on virtual, shared systems.
@mapkyca You've got to be a geek to install them. It's hard. I agree it's necessary - but needs to be stupidly simple.

Google is going to start publicly shaming websites that don't use SSL. A domain isn't enough: you need a cert. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/google-will-soon-shame-all-websites-that-are-unencrypted-chrome-htt...
@kylewmahan Oh yes. I may be Charlie Brooker's biggest fan.
People trained to look for bugs tend to find bugs in their lives. Stop doing that. http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2012/07/can-you-train-your-mind-to-be-happy-can-you-a/
Finally saw Charlie Brooker's 2015 Wipe. Worth seeking out if you can - think if Jon Stewart's Daily Show or John Oliver had much more bite.
A lesson I have had to learn many times over: ideology does not sell. Meet customers where they are at, not where you wish they were at.
@rohan_21awake Coolcool. Waiting patiently :) Hope all's well - looks pretty amazing from here.
Wondering when I can buy a copy of @rohan_21awake's awesome-looking book on modern mindfulness, This is Happening, in the US.
