Geekosaur News 22: Twitter, Comedy And More

Currently Reading: Death Masks (The Dresden Files #5), One Piece
Currently Watching: Bobā€™s Burgers, Central Park, How I Met Your Father, Family Feud

Yes, Iā€™m watching Family Feud highlights on Youtube, and they are quite funny. How I Met Your Father is not so good, but just alright to watch when having lunch, since Iā€™m a bit tired of Golden Girls.

I just got a Sony a6400, and now I started following some people on Instagram and Twitter that have the same camera (or any other in the a6xxx family). Of course, also joined r/sonyalpha

News/Thoughts

Twitter is working on an edit button. I know is a very requested feature for a long time, and I also kinda want it, but I see this going wrong in so many ways...

  1. Retweets are gonna be tricky if Iā€™m not notified that something I RTd was updated
  2. Since my likes are advertised to everyone that follows me, thatā€™s also a problem
  3. Of course someone will try to sell viral tweets at some point

Amy Schumer said she was going to take a month off from comedy following Will Smithā€™s slap because ā€˜that was too traumatizingā€™. And then she revealed that they didnā€™t let her make a joke about Alec Baldwinā€™s onset killing - the prop gun that was loaded with real ammo and ended up killing someone (twitter link). Iā€™m still trying to understand how the slap was too much, but an actual killing is so chill that she can joke about that.

Also discovered that sheā€™s going to be in the next season of Only Murders In The Building, and now Iā€™m worrying about it being any good. The first season was AMAZING, but whyyyyy.

Blizzard removed the letter Z on the skins of Zarya, Overwatchā€™s Russian hero (twitter). Not that this makes us forget the Hong Kong incident, and sexual abuse lawsuit. After all, Blizzards changed one of Tracerā€™s victory poses because it was ā€˜too sexualizingā€™, and then we discovered all sexual harassment and sexism in the company. Now they are only doing this because maybe they donā€™t care much about Russia anyway, since if China was doing anything wrong, they would bend or get on their knees as requested.

Fun/Cool Stuff

I recommended Katie Mackā€™s twitter here recently, so letā€™s go with something that also applies to software development. Just change the minus signal to a ; or ,
