I propose a personal challenge for 2019. Nothing major, but it might give you a little bit of perspective.

In 2019, try your best to avoid as much media as possible that is based on IPs created before, say, your date of birth. (For me, that would include “Star Wars” as well as Marvel and DC films.) Also try to avoid reboots, remakes, and “rebakes” (remakes disguised as reboots).

#FindNewStories and give them a chance. 👍

i feel weird saying it, but yeah, above and beyond the laws of any state, a service is responsible for the data it hosts.

discord is responsible for the nazis that use their platform, for the slurs in the logs they store, for the things those groups organize.

facebook is responsible for the hate that becomes violence on the parts of their platform they fail to or refuse to moderate.

even a crypto service should be wary they aren't protecting evil.

Supergirl gets a trans character and has the decency to actually cast a trans actor for the role:

legit fuck this, if you have to get a mac buy an older used model from somebody.

your attachment to macOS is being used, its being exploited, you have no control or say over your own device

If even Google is unable to keep a product safe, then basically every developer team on this problem must be considered incapable of doing so.

Avoid sharing data of even mild importance on the web when possible. Check for known prior security problems of a service vendor. Do not connect accounts. Never re-use passwords. Use a password manager. Use it to prune your accounts and identities on a yearly basis.

Currently, 0.78% of all Steam users play on Linux. That certainly isn't much, but it was at 0.59% last August.

The uptick is due to a big update to Steam Play, also known as Proton, which is their compatibility software designed to let Linux users play Windows games without having to actually boot up a full copy of Windows.

This shows there's a real interest in Linux gaming and a lot of people are just waiting to be able to play their favorite games on it.

i call it "the lit fuse" in my head, and i'm wondering how many people have experienced that
