If you have to type an email or a message that is about a sensitive topic, or one that you have trouble discussing, type it out in a notepad-like application instead of the email/message app instead.
Its much easier to be honest, forthright, and frank when you're just putting text into a blank document, without the pressure of seeing the person's name, avatar, online status, etc.
I need to do this when discussing family problems or addictions with people. Really helps.
I've been trading emails lately with my best friend of the past twenty years.
Time and illness have robbed him of his sight, and work and life have kept us from getting together as often as we would like. But we can still talk, as old friends should, about life, and love, and all the things that come with it, because of technology (#TTS / #STT)

Gonna try to do a #pleroma because reasons.
Microsoft has released their new Terminal application to GitHub, marketing it as another demonstration of their commitment to "open source". While the project is MIT licensed, did you know it is inextricably linked and dependent upon numerous proprietary SDK tools, headers, and the Visual C++ ATL.
Do not be fooled, see through the mirage of feigned support to undermine and sabotage the original ethics of the free software movement!

I'd like to #nameandfame pandoc today. Absolutely brilliant #foss tool to convert between many text formats. When writing a scientific paper in markdown but promotors only work with docx, this gem saves the day.
