Good Q. I’m sad that it seems to be the end of an era. As for new sites, there’s Mastodon (@joinmastodon Eugen Rochko, founder; I'm @LKhere@mastodon.social), Tribel (@TribelSocial), CounterSocial. There’s talk that @noam who was Waze CEO may have something in the works.

Get the paperwork deal first, not just on a handshake. I don’t care you’ve known the man 20yrs and he sent you a baby gift. My grandpa did every deal all his life on a handshake, and those days are gone sadly. Also email yourself and them the log of all your work weekly. 9/

Happy lunar new year to all that celebrate. This drone dragon in Singapore is incredible. We live in the future!
