Cowardly no matter how you slice it. But I think there are two perspectives here: * Doing it only now to curry favor with the groups newly in power * Not doing it earlier because of pretty certain retribution from the group (man) who was in

Yeah this pandemic has been described as the perfect middle ground for politicization, denialism, and just laissez-faire attitudes. Any more deadly (like Ebola) it becomes incredibly scary and people likely do whatever it takes when they se

I agree that IFTTT isn't useful enough for me to warrant the cost (I need another monthly subscription like a need an arrow in the knee). That said, it seems they did handle it in a much classier way than Wink who really pissed people
