We're launching COVIDWISE, a new exposure notification app to help contain #COVID19 and keep Virginians safe. Virginia is the first state to use technology developed by @Apple and @Google to create a tool like this. You can download the free app at covidwise.org.

@virginia_tech Do you have a link to the source code repo? It would help make the app less suspect. Also, consider publishing on F-Droid for Android users.

#VirginiaTech has rolled out a new safety app, Hokie Ready, to encourage Hokies to pay attention to their health. This app will offer critical emergency information and resources, along with a #COVID19 health screening tool. 📱 Download the app ⬇️ fal.cn/39xef

@clarkgaylord @VTScottMidkiff @randymarchany This is empty. #BlameRandy

@balister Honorable mention: make the owners think it has been moved using SDR.

I have a teenager's sense of humor, so one of my favorite First Amendment cases to teach is Yeagle v. Collegiate Times, in which Virginia Tech's student paper identified a university staffer as the “Director of Butt Licking" -- and the staffer sued for libel.

Will note that link

@wesgeorge I have long been a Lagavulin guy, but I have just tried the Uigeadial and I like it. The Ardbeg An Oa and Corryvreckan are pretty nice too.

Wow @SlackHQ profoundly stupid IRC decision. Three of six slacks I’m on are leaving your platform. Two are paid accounts. Really disappointed as one of your customers and supporters. You should rethink.
