If you use #GMail, #Google keeps records of everything you buy, even if you delete the email receipt, and even if you didn't buy the product from them. Here's metadata from my takeout showing price, delivery address, description, vendor, etc. #privacy

Proposal for all following the Gregorian calendar: Can we just restart #2020 in 4 days again? So we can overwrite the last year every single day with a better version? #Make2021TheBetter2020 #Make2021TheReal2020

Developers, consider not sharing the name of your app in your SMS 2FA text messages. This may allow people / aggregators (govt. or other) in the middle to glean information about your users.

Instead, consider displaying a unique string in the app itself, then share that via the text message to pair in addition to the TOTP code.

This may help whistleblowers & everyday people to avoid divulging additional attack surfaces.

Facebook is a uniquely horrible creature.

Birthed as Ivy League frat house wet dream.

Coddled on narcissist need to always exist (be seen/be heard).

Juiced on the frictions of rubbing together ever available ideology divides until they bleed.

All the while gorging on copious amounts of free content and data until it enveloped the world.

There is no better version of this.

Only better places to spend our time and energy.

Where hopefully we can become better people.
