I hold this truth to be self-evident: That corporations which institute systems for their express benefit are and should be held directly accountable for the negative consequences of those systems You might have heard that 500 Chrome extensions secretly uploaded private data from millions of users (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/02/500-chrome-extensions-secretly-uploaded-private-data-from-millions-of-users/). Which highlights a point I've been making for years: that browser extensions (and related services such as Android and iPhone app stores) are cesspits and disasters in the making. With numerous associations to cesspits and their consequences quite deliberately made. An apologist for Google (after the obligatory denial of being an apologist for Google) writes: I don’t think it’s right to hold them to account for things uploaded to their server. It is the end-user’s responsibilty to make good decisions and avoid bad ones. Woah, buddy! We fucking know this ...

@dredmorbius It's always so weird to see you quoting someone before realizing it's a quote; "Wait, that doesn't sound like...oh! It's in the post that was linked."

@kick If I may quote myself, "I quote myself often".

@kick I also *quite deliberately* avoid preambling content to the maximum extent feasible. Especially something I'd like to see gain traction.

The practice of premeptory through-clearing and mubling -- "In my <Day-of-week> blog post...", "I don't know if this belongs here...", "Can I ask a question..." (this drives certain friends to a frenzy) etc.

Just. Fucking. Say. It.

I _usually_ indicate quotes with a trailing "-- <source>" line.

Here I quote me so excluded that.
