This page is a strong reason to encourage encrypted spaces and to avoid platforms/systems that rely on spying/snooping behavior on your online behavior. ESPECIALLY now. https://standardnotes.org/why-encrypted

Sadly, user privacy is an anti-practice in the tech industry.

I want to reinstall my laptop’s OS but I’ve successfully broken one of my own rules by making it my own central point of failure, lmfao.

Even more reason to handle said re-installation tbh. Now Nix isn’t sounding so bad. It’d be easier than installing Windows and attempting to get parity with everything (try building Rust apps on native Windows versus directly on a Debian-based system).

I see why functional programming is such a powerful way to look at the world. Focusing on more of the “action” and less about what’s being worked on. I was working on some Ruby code the other day and I kept glitching trying to do things in it.

“The fix will benefit all OSes”

This is something a lot of proprietary shops can’t say when they push a fix for their platforms. Eager to get this update! https://twitter.com/thepine64/status/1321848516134768641

I think in 2021, I’m going to listen more E-40. I really don’t know shit about Bay Area (or just West Coast, but specifically Bay Area) artists outside of the fact that I tried to start shit with G-Eazy because I can’t stand him, lol.

The fact that this has to be something surfaced during the anti-trust suit and not something Apple would brag about is something to keep an eye on. I’m curious about this and it’ll make sense with deepening Siri’s usefulness https://www.ft.com/content/fd311801-e863-41fe-82cf-3d98c4c47e26
