It’s pretty simple: Google Meet (original) was previously Meet, which was the rebranded Hangouts Meet. Meet has been merged with Google Duo, which replaced Google Hangouts. Google Duo has been renamed Meet, and Meet has been temporarily named Google Meet (original), for clarity

People quitting Twitter because they're mad Elon bought it are themselves doing what he'd do only in their most paranoid nightmares: purging Twitter of people who disagree with him.

Follow people that make you think.
My whole young life was about learning things, and then following things that differed from what I thought, and then changing accordingly as I learned more.
Whether it is me or others (feel free to disagree), follow people that make you think.

I spent some time last spring contemplating the utopian fantasy of how to build a quiet electric leaf blower.
After making a few prototypes, I now believe that another world is possible.
A world where the leaf blower's shrill whine has been transformed into a gentle whoosh.

A useful self-awareness exercise for ethical or political decision-making is to build an internal hierarchy of values or goals.
That way, when some specific topics you care about conflict in some way, you have a process for evaluating and forming a conclusion.

Last week I ran two polls on my profile to ask both #Conference speakers and attendees about their preference regarding answering questions during or after a talk. Comparing their answers brought up these interesting results. ⤵️

I love seeing major brands make NFT and web3 announcements these days. It’s a good indicator of how much of a disaster their product teams are. You missed the hype cycle to grift your customers, but still feel obligated to ship what you blew time on. Impressive stuff.
Introducing Starbucks Odyssey, a new experience that will offer the ability to earn & buy digital collectibles (NFTs) that will unlock access to new coffee experiences. Join the waitlist to be among the first to explore Odyssey. stories.starbucks.com/press/…

Besides that, I think this is the first time I see context being encouraged by the Go authors to use for propagating a logger. Many people were already using this style, but it was always a debate on what to shelve into a context or not.

You ever notice how sometimes people are so caught up in waiting for cyber warfare to escalate in Ukraine they don’t even notice the full blown cyber war around Iran?

Elon Musk doesn't come to me for advice on how to fail to buy Twitter, and I don't go to him for film, TV or literature criticism.
Bro even Elon musk doesn’t like the new fucking #TheRingsofPowrer show. That’s crazy 😟. @neilhimself what you think? Of this
