  1. 🎭 Ah, the bygone era of #SourceForge and #Bitbucket, where Armin was the king of his own nerdy #fiefdom 👑. But alas, #GitHub swooped in like the cool kid at school, and everyone had to abandon their Trac-tastic past for the land of Octocats 🐙. Who knew #nostalgia could be so... riveting? 😂

  2. "The blogosphere
    could be a modern realisation of Jürgen Habermas’s idea of “the public sphere” because it was open to all, everything was discussable and social rank didn’t determine who was allowed to speak. But..the speed and comprehensiveness that tech corporations such as Google and Facebook would enclose that public sphere with their own walled gardens in which “free speech” could be algorithmically curated while the speakers were intensively surveilled and their data mined for advertising purposes."
