Periodic tiny reminder that you do not have to (and actually shouldn't) give your own name to your devices.

Give them their own unique names.

Your privacy will be better for it,
and they'll be happier

#Privacy

@jonn well as you might remember I do have my own style guide (written version extremely out of date, but still) with some specific reasoning behind it, primarily focusing on things being readable at a glance.

So with that mindset if I do manually break an expression into separate lines, it's probably because I believe that is the best level to break it to outline the logic for the next reader.

I might be wrong in a particular instance, but I'm certainly less wrong than "this fits in one line so fuck you it's one line now, except the .into(), that seems important enough to go on the next one".

End-to-end encryption will continue to be available in France, as the assembly overwhelmingly voted against (119 votes against, only 24 in favor) an amendment to legislation fighting drug trafficking which required backdoors in encrypted messengers.

Or by CI processes...

Many people holding extreme political views haven't thought 10m ahead about what consequences on a societal level it would have.

The most poignant current example of this is seeing the "abolish copyright" crowd do a u-turn because of the rampant AI grift. And the most frustrating thing is: That could have been avoidable. With just a little bit of nuance, there is a coherent political stance in this, which I even share. But "reform copyright" doesn't sound as catchy I guess …

This morning's lecture, under the watchful eye of Yuri Gagarin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yxGBrqTAMY

“Don't talk about the next pandemic” from comedian Ryan George.

“The pandemic's over.”
“Well…”
“We solved it. We killed COVID.”
“No we didn't! You had COVID last week.”
“I have COVID now.”

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

Support for Palestine is not anti-Semitic.

Support for Palestine is not anti-Semitic.

Support for Palestine is not anti-Semitic.

Support for Palestine is not anti-Semitic.

Support for Palestine is not anti-Semitic.

What it is, actually, is compassion for people who are suffering physical and emotional violence on a massive scale.

I’m an Ashkenazi Jew. What Israel is doing isn’t okay. It’s horrific. And ironic.

History is watching.

I know that Elon Musk gets a lot of hate on here, but hear me out.

I think we could hate him more. We have the capacity, we all just need to put in a little more effort.
