Oh β€” yesterday I remembered that I had opted out of data-broker stuff several years ago, with two different services 🀣

There hasn't, anyway, been much data to begin with β€” also no ad ID from either Apple or Google. #compartmentalization #dataretention

@cwebber For those that want to yap about this over on #bluesky without creating an account, follow @bsky.brid.gy here on Mastodon.

Once they follow you (as long as your account is 7+ days old), then anything you post here on the Fediverse will be bridged across the Bluesky without need for an account.

As an aside, I originally tried creating a #bluesky account and got suspended almost immediately because I used a @simplelogin.com domain, because I'm expected to just give out my email, my real email, to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that asks for it instead of practicing #compartmentalization apparently?

@opentermsarchive Corporations are not your friends. Never have, never are, and never will be. At the end of the day, they only care about one thing: profit, especially if publicly traded or attached to another company that is.

Not that I'd ever think as posting my information on there, and any employer that requires it can kindly fuck off.

One of the oldest security principles is that of #compartmentalization . This executive order just smokes that principle.

New AI model deciphers the code in proteins that tells them where to go

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the structure of a protein determines what it can do. More recently, researchers are coming to appreciate that a protein's localization is also critical for its function.
