Hi friends. I like making websites and tracking data, so I made
stayinghome.club/
This is the list of the tech events and companies I know about who changed their plans due to #COVID19. It is incomplete. PRs and RTs gladly accepted to get a better list.

Hello. I have returned to bad site to inform you all: The coolest person on earth, @rosemaryforyou, has released an indie emo EP, and you owe it to yourself to buy it and listen to it:
fennelflowers.bandcamp.com/a…
I can't get these songs out of my head, and I want that for you.

Time for my regular reminder: friends don't let friends use counter-dot-social.
That instance's owner is untrustworthy, racist, gleefully disregards software licenses, tracks every click his users make on the site.
Ok good talk, send your friends to me if they need help

Hello #berkeley folks! (I don't know if there's a #berkmtg?) Here's my last civic data drop for a bit, and it's a big one:
data.berkeley.place/city_min…
56,951 pages of minutes from city meetings, full-text search, going back to 1905. We're well beyond microfiche at this point.

For the past couple weeks I've been working on digitizing 55,000 pages of civic meetings minutes (starting with #alamtg and #oakmtg) to give residents visibility into what their governments are doing. I wrote about my process and next steps:

Hello #oakmtg and all the folks who care about #oakland govt. I have a gift for you!
At data.oakland.works/oakland_m… you will find a searchable database of 37,172 pages of Oakland civic meeting minutes, going back to 2003.
Full-text search. Microfiche on steroids. (RTs appreciated)

Ok #alamtg I'm back with another gift, and this is a big one.
If you go to data.alameda.one/alameda_min…, you'll find a searchable database of the minutes of every @CityofAlameda govt meeting, going back to 2005.
Yes, I mean full-text search. Think of it like microfiche on steroids.

Hi folks! It sucks I have to mention this, but: if you track menstrual cycles and you're worried about data subpoena, Apple Health data is encrypted on-device!
This aint perfect, but using their built-in tracker will be much more resilient to the data slurping.
Feel free to RT.

One of my responses to the Apartheid Mars Prince trying to buy this site has been to get back into @tumblr. (Tumblr is still pretty great btw, give it another chance).
A side effect of this has been peeking into the @automattic universe. Which has been _fascinating_.

There's a feeling of sustainability in @automattic's approach that I hope remains. They're showing a way to be a big tech company (1900 strong!?!) that feels like an alternate universe from MANGA, praise the sun.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk, and find me on @tumblr
