After complaining about emails flooding my work day - Slack was a relief. But now, I have ended up with 300 slack channels - I have "star"red 20 of them - and I can't keep track of DMs, pings, threads.

So My email inbox is now somehow cleaner - if I exclude a lot of automated notifications.

alperakgun··on Google are removing URLs entirely from search results?
Gooogle quarterly earnings follow each other:

- Ads look like valid search results

- Less advanced search options

Rife for disruption.

alperakgun··on Developer of Checkm8 explains why iDevice jailbreak exploit is a game changer
