@madebygoogle Whelp, my GStore order FINALLY went through. Thanks for all the "adventure" today @madebygoogle

@madebygoogle I had a HTC windows phone before the G1 was available; before that PPCs. As a professional software engineer, I've always used a MacBook Pro, and everything in my home is Apple-powered (except Chromecast, cause Stadia), but I've always gone droid. Today, might buy my first iPhone

Our Google Store went down during the #Pixel6Launch. We apologize and are working on it. We will let you know when it’s back up.

@JeffBezos Revolutionized ≠ Monopolized. You and Amazon are still middle-men.

Listen and be open, but don’t let anybody tell you who you are. This was just one of the many stories telling us all the ways we were going to fail. Today, Amazon is one of the world’s most successful companies and has revolutionized two entirely different industries.

@TurboCrows @HillsboroPolice FYI: The shield worn on the chest doesn't have a badge number in the middle of it. At least not for Hillsboro PD.

All members of the Hillsboro Police Department are saddened by the tragic death of Clark County, WA Deputy Jeremy Brown, who was killed last night while performing his duties as a law enforcement officer. Mourning bands will be worn over our badges to grieve his tragic death.

@BraytechHelp Doesn't appear there or in "All Quests." Perhaps I need to login to my primary Bungie acct, as I picked up the quest in a Cross-save enabled acct.

@BraytechHelp I'm noticing that "The Lie" quest is not appearing where other quests are, or at all in any of the tabs. Known issue?

When they say, "oh, it's because you're on a Mac. It'll work within Windows only." Whelp, ball is in your court @GoogleSupport3. I just want my Music subscription and Library back. TBH, YT Premium was just a bonus; idrc about it.

@mikeherchel @rickmanelius @nmdmatt @fldrupalcamp @JCL324 Yep, and we can make more. Still have fuzzy socks and tons of felt.

@rickmanelius @nmdmatt @fldrupalcamp @JCL324 @CLoudNYNE

I don't remember who made the Drupal sock puppets at @fldrupalcamp two years ago, but my sons are /still/ playing with them. And it's definitely helped while cooped up!

@flypdx @lyft Thank you! Much appreciated 👍👍

@CLoudNYNE @lyft I will pass along the feedback. Long term plans are in the works! bit.ly/2QnBydy

@lyft not satisfied at all with the "taxi stand" experience I just had at @flypdx; I feel like it forced me and my belongings into some randos car before I could check their rating. Is this "easy" (read dumbed-down) system for those people that couldn't read license plates?!?

@flypdx @lyft My biggest point of contention is that I feel like I now no longer have freedom of choice and might as well go back to using a standard taxi service, which is more cost effective, especially if I no longer have the initial benefits the app initially provided.

@CLoudNYNE @lyft Hey Erik, our ride share system has been implemented to ease congestion on the roadway. We are always looking to improve passenger experience and your input will be passed along to the appropriate channels.

@AztecrossGaming What? Why do they need their own Title? Are you saying that a game studio should develop a title that is only available for a game streaming service that streams cross-platform games they don't develop? I don't think Google wants to start development of the next GoW or Uncharted.

That being said, Stadia has got to give a reason go get on there platform. It needs to invest heavily in it's own titles. It's obviously not going to be the Netflix of Games. Stadia needs a Zelda or a God of War.

What exactly was it that people wanted from Stadia? Folks dont want to pay monthly to game. What the hell is psn and xbox live? They want the ultimate gaming experience? Then build a PC! They want to "own" games. Bro, I don't even "own" my house!

@AztecrossGaming I travel a lot, and PS4 remote play relies on my home internet connection, which isn't business class, has a dynamic IP, and has all traffic routed through a VPN. Portability of A-list titles (like Destiny 2). That's why I got a Stadia.

@aardrian What an entitled perspective on the problem ... and their assessment that they're not a part of said problem. WTH?!?

I was trying to ignore this article, but folks are talking and I can at least not give it link juice… Anyway, this is a really weird way to say “I am a shit designer who cannot work with constraints and only knows opacity settings.”

Meh. The sound system at OMSI left a lot to be desired. Buy the album, it's good, but know that only the "remixes" were played during the show. It was only the latter half where the music was in-sync with the visual art. facebook.com/5006701/posts/…

@chriscoyier Resolve notices/warnings/errors that have been visually hidden and amassed into a mountain of tech-debt. At the least, cleans up the logs and reduces noise, and should make pages load faster.

What are the LOWEST hanging fruit of web performance? Nothing fancy, anyone can do, big impact. Gzip. Optimize stuff. Reduce requests... What are other big ones?
