I first thought this was an April Fool's joke. Holy crap, it's not. I have no other words.

My browser, and pretty much everybody's browser, has a unique digital fingerprint. Why on Earth do the same websites then need to repeatedly check that I am not a robot??? If I wasn't a robot yesterday, I am not one today either!

Reflections on an (impossible) escape from capitalism

It was an ordinary Tuesday evening. The package had arrived by courier that morning, but I'd only opened it after dinner, with that silent ceremony I perform every time new hardware arrives – as if opening a box quickly were a form of disrespect toward the object.

Banger video by Benn Jordan about the wisdom of running cloud-connected (and even non-cloud-connected) surveillance cameras inside or outside your home. Lot's of things that I had not even considered.

Being outside the US I hope some of the more distopic elements apply less to me but that may be wishful thinking. Actually, let me rephrase that. I'm certain it applies "less to me" but I'm not sure by how much.

Writing to your MPs on Palantir is a great way to get involved in this campaign against Palantir in the NHS. Keep up the good work!
