I am surprised that some of his usual audience joined a platform specifically because of him.
You’re surprised that a privacy and security advocate and essayist with a large online following would have people who would take his advice on which social media platform is best for security and privacy?
Exactly!
I don’t hate TikTok because of its short videos, I hate it because the app is an assault on privacy and potentially a subversive tool to influence the public.
Me.
I followed him from Twitter to Mastodon, even though he didn’t exactly endorse Mastodon. If he were to endorse a platform I wouldn’t think twice about joining.
Until they restructure the way OpenAI did.
It needs another frame showing that feudalism never went away. Capitalism is just a way to walk us all back to feudalism.
This is nice and all, but couldn’t they instead make an arbitrary UI change to the camera app again? I’m almost to the point where I’m using that app with muscle memory again.
Edit: I can’t believe I forgot Baskets. That show is a masterpiece.
There are a few shows I’d rate higher: Breaking Bad (although it had it’s share of ‘throw away’ episodes), Reservation Dogs, Battlestar Galactica (so many throw away episodes), The Newsroom, and Deadwood. I think Deadwood would be my highest ranking, especially for writing and acting.
Obviously I’m sure plenty of examples can be given for why Six Feet Under is better than each of the shows I’ve listed, but that’s the beauty of subjective lists!
My wife and I just finished the finale tonight, and it was a great ending. Very little ambiguity, real closure, and an emotionally appropriate song.
But, I think it is far from “the best TV show”. It may have been “the best” for a TV drama when it came out because it was groundbreaking, but the acting and writing at times could be pretty bad (so many dropped plots with no follow-up or consequences). It also went on for far too long, which was a consequence of having to create 12 episodes per season, each the same length.
It’s worth watching, but I’d give it a 7.8/10.
Where do you get your Adderall? I’ve tried talking to my doctor about it and he just says that I’m trying to take on too much, but I feel like I’ve been able to accomplish almost nothing this year.
Also, please share your fanfic when you’ve gotten it recorded.

When China, the US or Google do break encryption they aren’t going to announce it.
