This kind of coverage was unthinkable a year ago. Lesser companies would have died, and many thought we would. Instead we kept shipping, kept building, kept fighting. And now here we are. Back in the game, back in the fight. It's true - what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. #rabbitr1 #rabbitOS2

Not suppressing links is and will continue to play a quiet but major role in the success of this platform.
The web was built for connections, and links are the plumbing. It's ridiculous, that thanks to Instagram, "link in bio" and such things are understood vernacular.

Today, I played a bit with the #rabbitr1. This device doesn’t deserve all the hate I've read about it. Ok, it’s not what they promised. But doing vacation or black Friday research with Cyberpunk 2077-inspired UI? It really seems like the future

#rabbitr1 is a great little motivation machine, with a touch of my own personal generative UI 💜

quite dystopian scenes at #london #euston with the main entrance from the tube closed and diverted (apparently a man seen on the floor convulsing), and a power cut with emergency lighting on the main concourse with all the screens off. this on top of some flooding cancellations earlier.

I think a lot of people forget how developer friendly Twitter *originally* was. There wasn't even an official app for years, and when it finally arrived, it was through an acquisition of a third party one.
There were so many fun tools and services back then.

We used to say at Twitter 1.0 that we were "a community of communities".
And I think we all understood that, if that breaks down, if any one group or interest began to dominate the timeline...... People would head for the exit.
You're seeing that play out in real time.
