Friday Links for Jan 17, 2020

I implemented this great python script from @micahflee to automatically get rid of my tweets after a specified period of time. Similar to the Chrome extension I use to get rid of my Facebook posts but automated/scheduled so much more convenient.

  • The Death of the Good Internet Was an Inside Job | The New Republic – Another obituary for Google’s RSS reader and how Facebook ruined the Internet.
  • It’s time to change the abortion debate in America – Worthwhile read. This argument could be applied to a host of issues facing Americans.
  • Daring Fireball: Quit Confirmation for Safari on MacOS – Great little Keyboard Maestro script.
