What if #privacy and Google's advertising model simply cannot be done both? https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/29/google_privacy_sandbox_fledge/

My long-term supplier @ASICSamerica gave up on serving me with the gel #shoes I've been buying for many generations, so I give up on them, and I'm in the market for comfortable shoes suitable for standing at a #StandingDesk for many hours a day. Suggestions? #vrm

One of my favorite #Linux commands: "btrfs device add /dev/sdd". Has saved my most valuable this and the other so many times.

Right to repair in the US. Should we believe it? https://gizmodo.com/the-biden-administration-is-ready-to-go-to-war-over-ri-1847240802

This software comes with instructions for AIX and HPUX. It's been a while that I've seen that.

How sad. No more sin(x)/x graph. Ex-Fry’s Sunnyvale.

The "SEAMs paradigm": "platforms Surveil people, Extract their personal data, Analyze that data ..., and then circle back to Manipulate" by @richardswhitt https://ctlj.colorado.edu/?p=720

Power outage today, at 96F. Seems to me that as the planet gets warmer and as temperature variability goes up, we'll get more temperature peaks, thus higher electricity demand peaks and thus more electricity outages just when it is hottest. Right? Have a nice summer or summers.

Achievement unlocked: first haircut that’s not DIY in 16 months or so.

Replaced my malfunctioning 28" monitor with a 32" one last week. The other 28" now feels really small. That's how quickly you get spoiled!

Colorado is now the 3rd US state with modern #privacy legislation, with a twist https://reb00ted.org/tech/20210613-colorado-privacy-law/

Colorado enacted privacy legislation this week. That would be US state #3. Similar provisions as in California, Virginia, but requires honoring Do-Not-Track-style automated signaling. https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb21-190

"Only it [the failing core] could decrypt what it had wrongly encrypted". Hmmm. https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/04/google_chip_flaws/

OH: "Three layers deep in MBAs".

Berkman at Harward did a "research sprint" on "Digital Self-determination" with 25 students from around the world. Open courseware! Excellent! https://cyber.harvard.edu/story/2021-05/building-global-open-access-knowledge-digital-self-determination

"Domino DB. If one falls, all the others do, too." I think I should apply for a marketing job over there, I win on the strengh of my slogan. (I can't be the first one coming up with this one, though.)

Went to the library today. For the first time in, like, 15 months? Feels like a different planet somehow.
