After signing out of Netflix on the hotel TV before going to sleep, I browsed around all the various internet-connected apps and streaming services…
…and logged out of probably 6 or 7 other accounts (no name duplicates) in various apps.
Wild that people just leave these connections “lying around” all over the place.
Probably worthless me signing those other people’s accounts out, but still…

My first ever #digitalbreadcrumbs are a great little spot in Paddington.
Mihbaj is just across the road from the Paddington station. It serves a wonderful middle-eastern fare, and the Shakshuka I had (pictured) was bursting with flavour.
The service was a little chaotic, though well-meaning. It’s a small little spot so I imagine might be hard to find a seat at peak times (2pm on a bank holiday it was easy to get a table downstairs)
I miss Swarm/Foursquare’s ability to leave a trail of breadcrumbs of places I’ve been while traveling and also the ability to see places that my internet friends have been.
It feels like something the fediverse is very much equipped for.
While in wait I was thinking I’d document places I go and want to remember (either for good or bad reasons) with #digitalbreadcrumbs
Feel free to do likewise if you’d like to join me.
@danyork There's also Farhad Manjoo's article at the NYT: "Why Alex Murdaugh’s Quick Conviction Worries Me"
[P]rosecutors reconstructed a tight timeline of the crime using lots and lots of data. Among other sources, they extracted information from Alex, Maggie and Paul Murdaugh’s iPhones, call records of family and friends, location and speed data from Murdaugh’s S.U.V., entry logs from his office security system, images from automatic license plate readers mounted on public roads, communications on social networks and messaging apps, reams of financial data and video and audio recorded on Murdaugh’s 911 call .... [P]rosecutors in the Murdaugh case claimed to find many deeper truths in the digital record. And it’s in their interpretations of the data that they sometimes lost me. Often, they seemed to be finding patterns in the data that didn’t necessarily hold true, and this made me wary that the authorities can build outlandish stories from our data.

Surveillance capitalism melds with the surveillance state. Sure, this case seems to be a highly-plausible murderer convicted through digital forensics, but far more mundane or harmful possibilities loom.
Cardinal Richelieu's (apocryphal) "six lines" quip comes to mind.
