Stop ISPs Spying on You. Why Everyone Should Use #Tor or a #VPN.

The recent Facebook scandal has alarmed many because of its clear privacy intrusion. However, only a few are concerned about the constant privacy intrusion by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). ISPs probably know more about you than you yourself. They can monitor and log every website you ever visited and sell this data to advertisers.

NYC Mesh, which is run by volunteers, is taking on monopolistic ISPs by offering people affordable wireless internet. I hope this catches on since municipal/community broadband is the way to go. - http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/wifi-nyc-mesh-new-york-city-1.4617106

Refresh and check Settings -> About Pinafore if you're not sure which version you're running. The bug where "app update available" would show too frequently ought to be fixed now.

#introduction

Hi all! I'm a musician, a game developer, a dad, and a slightly out of touch nerd.

In the day I work at Schell Games. If you have kids, they've probably seen some of my work and they don't know it. You might have too.

At night I make weird electronic music as Rainbow Kitten. Also I make my own games.

I love everyone I meet but I'm usually too nervous to talk to them.

**Biometric Apps Will Soon Be Pushed Across the Web**

This is a bad idea:

1. You can't "reset" your biometrics like a password.
2. Biometrics aren't hashable. The end result is they're less secure than other forms of authentication. (If you don't understand what this means, you're not qualified to have an opinion on this matter.)
3. You can't control what happens to your biometrics once they're in the hands of a 3rd party.

Please re-Toot.
