New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.

Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.

It will take some work.

If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.

Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.

Murmeltier-Tage: Wirtschaftsverbände beklagen „Verwirrung und Unsicherheit“ bei DSGVO inkl. „hohen Bußgeldern“. Welches „hohe Bußgeld“ wurde bisher in Deutschland verhängt, wo der Verstoß aus „Verwirrung und Unsicherheit“ heraus entstand? Bitte ein einziges(!) Beispiel!

We have given too much to cars.

Linus Torvalds: Git is a distributed version control system, which means even if you lose a remote, you still have your local copy, so your code is safe, unlike centralized VCSes.

Developer Community: wut?

Microsoft: Hmm. How about you use our Visual Studio Online and push it to GitHub, both hosted on our computers, so that you don't have a local copy?

Developer Community: Yaay! Such innovation! Very cloud! Much wow! 🎉

Trump: Thou shall not use US services.

Developers: Where's my code? 😭
