@wongmjane No journalist would consider the work you do anything less than "journalism." I also don't think citizen journalism is a concept journalists are against at all, it's just the term is often thrown around in opposition to "regular" journalism these days.

Feeling conflicted — It seems what I do is considered “citizen journalism”, and this term is despised by peers in the press world. But at the same time, they quote my findings. So I’m not sure if we’re in a friendly or hostile relation

@aghoshal @hashnode That's awesome!! They're lucky to have you

🚨Personal news🚨 After nearly a decade at TNW covering technology, I've started a new role leading content at @hashnode, a blogging platform for people building tech things. 🧵

anyone want my blue checkmark? selling it for $19 a month great deal

@dcseifert Worst/dumbest part is paying for 4K even though Netflix won't even stream 4K to most of my devices *sighs*

@dcseifert It feels weird to not have Netflix as the OG big streaming service, but it's also the one I think I might give up.

@reckless This is awesome

There's a whole new Verge today — we've been working on it for two years. I'm so, so excited about it. theverge.com/2022/9/13/2334…

@beth_hampton @Zipcar I'm locked out of my account too. On the website it tells me to complete my application when I've been using Zipcars for years, so I'm guessing something's amiss

@Zipcar I completed a trip today and all was fine, but I’ve now been logged out and it says “unable to retrieve account information”. Is this a bug?

@Kevin_Raposo Thanks! I also considered TikTok copycat copes with TikTok copies and Don't copy your Tiktoks to our TikTok copycat, copy that? I always wonder about the headlines that didn't make it

god damn @napilopez, this is an amazing headline #Echobox=1650523360" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenextweb.com/news/instagram…

@gaoladipo Oat, mostly for coffee, but like a lot of vegan stuff it depends a ton on the specific product S-tier: Oatly full fat, barista, and regular A-tier: Califia barista, Chobani B-tier: Califia regular Disgusting: Planet oat, elmhurst Still like soy milk too

@ValerieComplex Congrats on the new gig! It's validating to see I wasn't the only one who didn't get how a musical with such a problematic plot got so popular. GF watched it, was disturbed, and I was like "nope nope nope" throughout the summary. Seems the movie ain't much better.

My life has already been threatened bc of my review. This means I am doing my job correctly! deadline.com/2021/09/dear-e…

@JoannaStern Same. Worse, even though I'm in a 5G area, I find that the various phones I've used often make things worse by doing the constant switcharoo dance between 4G and 5G.

One year with 5G and I truly cannot think of one instance where I have said “This is so fast. Thank goodness I’m not on 4G.”

@windowsinsider Done!

@napilopez You will need to follow me before Twitter will allow me to send you a DM.

Dev Channel #WindowsInsiders - No new #Windows11 build this week. :( However, if you have been considering switching channels now’s a great time to adjust your settings without needing to clean install. Just a quick click in the Windows Update -> Windows Insider settings. ^AL

@windowsinsider yep!

@napilopez Can I send you a DM?

It's not just me that's having terrible lag for the #Windows11 stream right?

@ValerieComplex 100%. It still deserves this criticism and didn't reach it's potential because of these choices.

@napilopez I think it’s ok to feel connected to it BUT ALSO examine the ways in which colorism has done damage to its image.

This is really not a good look for Jon Chu

@ValerieComplex ...which is that Dominican culture already tends to ignore its own blackness. Even though Dominicans have the most African ancestry of all Hispanic countries. That wasn't the filmmakers intention, but it plays into that existing erasure.

@ValerieComplex I'm Dominican, grown up in the DR and so much time/family in Washington Heights. It's where my parents met. This movie made me feel a connection I've never felt with any film before. Even though I loved the movie, this issue was glaring and there's another layer to it...
