| Slack commits to paying contractors during shutdown after laid-off baristas protest Posted: 12 Mar 2020 08:23 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Slack says it will continue to pay contractors while its offices are shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. The announcement comes after five baristas, who learned last week they were being laid off, wrote a letter to the company that they intended to make public on Friday morning. The letter demanded three months pay and health care. "It's hard to overstate how dangerous it is to lose both our salaries and our healthcare during a pandemic that is quickly spiraling out of control," the former employees wrote. Many large tech companies have proactively offered to continue paying contractors or employees who cannot return to work because of the shutdowns. Slack... |

The April 2nd event for Snapchat developers, advertisers, and creators had already been moved to an online-only presentation amid coronavirus fears, but now the event has been postponed altogether. "We don't feel like it would be appropriate to celebrate our partners in the midst of a global health crisis," Spiegel writes. "I am so grateful for the tireless efforts and hard work of all of our team members working to make SPS possible — and I can't wait to share all of the amazing things we have created when the time is right." Snap's offices will remain open, despite most... |

| Judge orders Chelsea Manning released from jail Posted: 12 Mar 2020 03:37 PM PDT  Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images A judge has ordered the release of former US Army analyst Chelsea Manning from a Virginia jail. Manning has been imprisoned since May 2019 for refusing to testify before a grand jury. Manning's appearance before the jury was no longer needed, and "her detention no longer serves any coercive purpose," Judge Anthony Trenga wrote in his order. Under the order, Manning will be required to pay a total of $256,000 in conditional fines, which began accruing on a daily basis starting in May 2019. Manning attempted suicide yesterday, the New York Times reported. A hearing to consider her confinement was scheduled for tomorrow.

| AT&T is suspending broadband data caps for home internet customers due to coronavirus Posted: 12 Mar 2020 03:04 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge AT&T is suspending data caps for broadband internet customers on Thursday, as waves of employees face new work-from-home policies from US companies trying to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, according to Motherboard.

Those caps can range from 150GB to 1TB, Motherboard says. And going over the cap can result in fees as high as $10 for every 50GB over the limit. "Many of our AT&T Internet... |

| A new Twitter client finally gives us the power to edit tweets — sort of Posted: 12 Mar 2020 02:03 PM PDT  Brizzly+ Brizzly, a Twitter client that first launched in 2009, is back with a new goal to serve the needs of all the world's Twitter power users. The company is launching its Brizzly Plus service today, a subscription that costs $6 per month, or $60 annually, and gives people access to non-native Twitter features like an undo button and auto-deletion. The undo button allows subscribers to set a delay between when they type and send their tweet and when it posts. They can choose between no delay, a 10-second delay, or a 10-minute delay. During that time, they can click "undo," which cancels the tweet and gives them time to edit. They can redo any tweet, too, which allows them to make changes, tweet again, and Brizzly will delete the old tweet.... |
