Today I am working on FREE SOFTWARE, attempting an implementation of https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam/issues/672 so that I can unblock four or five personal projects at once.

Lenovo should move the TrackPoint :tm: nipple to below the f or j keys

Canvas was suggested in the chat I originally proposed this thought, and I agree with that.

WebRTC could be considered authorship-enabling, I think.

what is the last [user-agent/browser] [spec/standard/feature] explicitly designed to increase user authorship rather than enable new and streamlined methods of consumption? content-type=editable? there are some in the w3c space, obviously, but those are not being implemented by user-agents.

Does anyone have a userChrome.css in #Firefox 76/Linux with styles for moving the nav-bar to the bottom? I have it sort of working with this one that I found, but opening up extension menus causes firefox to crash:

some times I go look at the #GDPR enforcement tracker and think about how Spain has fined a bunch of people (and Germany one) for pointing surveillance cameras at public way-fares and then i think about how many ring doorbells are in my Seattle neighborhood.

anyone wanna send me a settings file for the Steam release of Iconoclasts? it seemed like an Okay game.

bought a game on steam, played it just long enough to want to customize the controls. game binds the same key to both up and confirm, applying it while i'm in the rebind menu, i hit the back button, the game has now saved my configuration to a binary settings file which will be restored by Steam every time I delete it.

And of course, when you stop and ask "what can I do about it?" the answer is that you can do very little except agitate for strong legislation with teeth, and wait. Neither NRK nor Karl were able to figure out which of his applications were spying on him.

I've seen tables which grow at the rate of terabytes a week showing the users' movement, with the most basic of access control applied to it, available to nearly any engineer or data scientist who knew where to look.

Companies' data platforms rarely provide enough audit capabilities to truly secure this data, much less make an informed decision on what is valuable or invaluable to keep. which columns are queried here? you don't know? me neither. better not touch it.

This is the state of play right now, mobile developers have to eat but their marketplace is so bloated that data brokers and other lizard people are building a panopticon to feed them.

And we lie to ourselves that this is about consent, especially in the US, that we have any sort of choice in the matter, or that the matter is so unimportant as to be ignored.

This is absolutely incredible.

@NRKno tricked a data broker in to selling them 400 million "anonymized" location data points taken from SDKs that monetize mobile applications. NRK took a random row from the database, doxed the person and interviewed them.

Of course, this person had no idea that their phone had sent location data to this broker for 200 days the last year, showing intimate personal details for anyone who knew to look.

I'm in an IRC channel that is 95% people saying "wob", and 5% NOC support for my server ISP.

Good Job! on the Switch is a really enjoyable puzzle game. Great kinetic puzzles and little clockwork worlds. I'm only halfway through and am having a blast. My roommate picked it up and had the same experience.
