Sad about @IFTTT dropping @Pinboard, but requiring services to change integrations (and accept ToS) is back-to-front https://blog.pinboard.in/2016/03/my_heroic_and_lazy_stand_against_ifttt/
New favourite podcast: @AthleticoMince. @realbobmortimer and @profanityswan talking about football and other nonsense in their brains.
