• Ex-Twitter employees accused of spying for Saudi Arabiawww.bbc.com #

• This AP article on the Saudi/Twitter story is a bit odd, they interview a person called Adam Google, considering Google the company was incorporated in 1998, it's pretty strange to have someone with the surname of Google - They also use quotes from "a critic" with no nameapnews.com #

• Twitter is rolling out Topics, a way to follow subjects automatically in the timeline - Sort of an interesting feature, but too many algorithms imo, personally I like the simplicity of the hashtagwww.theverge.com #

• What Is a Shell? - I liked this relatively short article because it goes one level deeper than other similar articles, mentioning the execve system call that the shell calls, and I think in the context of describing what the shell does this adds a lot of interesting context and detailyunchi.dev #
