If you're disabled with chronic pain and using a small "bed desk" (I don't know how it's called) for your laptop so you have no weight on you, may I know which one you got and if you're satisfied with it? 
I've been thinking about it for months actually as it would change my life and allow me to use my laptop way more often, but didn't look it up yet as I'd rather ask disabled folks first than reading online comments!
Thank you

@NadiaBernaz I wrote a short thread on #Twitter. I believe #TwitterMigration hurts 2 groups. Those monetising because of their Twitter fame, and those who need Twitter to be heard. I want to focus on the latter.
The 2nd group contains a lot of subgroups. Black Twitter, #Disability Twitter, #HumanRights defenders, dissidents, #trans activists, asylum seekers, #refugees, whistleblowers etc.
I can’t leave.

Multiplying someone's good idea:
"To help make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

Having worked in infra for many years, I appreciate you posting this, and I can say a huge increase in demand/throughput can be pretty stressful, even for well-prepared teams. <3

It took >30 minutes for me to read through each ballot initiative and candidate statement for my CA ballot this year. DON’T wait until the last minute to start your ballot or you might give up. If you are #voting in-person or planning to fill out your mail-in ballot on Tuesday, check out https://ballotpedia.org/Main_Page (thanks @ifilljustice )
The article linked below showed up in my TL on the bird.
Some of the leaders in my org have been talking up Platform Engineering. On op-ed shared was so full of jargon it turned me off. So, when I saw this article, I figured I'd give it another chance to help me understand what is meant.
Half-way thru, it does make sense, and it describes a significant body of work my broader org has built and offered as a Platform. It's actually pretty cool!.
Hope you find this interesting fi you choose to read (or have read).

#Introduction Hi y'all! I'm not a newbie to tech in general, but I often feel like a newbie due to the breadth and depth of technology, especially software (and infrastructure)!
I sort of fell into IT through a random job that promoted me based on a "logic" test. :D
I have experience in #C, #COBOL, some #ruby, a tiny old crumb of #java, but most recently #go / #golang. *NIX wins, imho. PC for home, Mac for work. Spent some time in the #cloud. The team I'm on for work is in a decent-sized retailer, and our focus is Observability. #influx #elasticsearch #grafana #timeseries and some cool home-grown products. We support internal customers (other teams and platforms), and I love answering questions!
I'm married to my lovely wife, and our babies all have fur. I live in a brick house built in 1888. I love old houses, even though there's not a right angle or standard size left!
If it's horror, I love it - movies, books, objects. I'm a little #goth at heart (though I'm an Old Bat now).
GU #hoya (BSLA Russian Language). Breast cancer survivor. Sardonic and frequently inappropriate sense of humor. 😈
Interesting. I tooted that I didn't care for EM, and someone suggested that I "smell jewish"[sic]. I'm not Jewish. I'm not offended because being Jewish is not a bad thing, but I am confused about how one "smells" like any particular group/culture/religion. I used the mute feature. Oh well.😕
Getting started here. Gonna lurk a bit and see what folks are like.
