I registered as an adult on an online service by using the photo mode in a video game, to take a picture of a character, then used that picture on the webcam to say I'm over 18 ✅

This is the way.

Privacy is a marathon, not a sprint.

It's common to be overwhelmed by the constant attacks on privacy we read about every day, and to burn out trying to fix every problem all at once.

This is by the attackers' design, of course. Big tech companies and governments want to paralyze you with choices and actions, so you give up on the fight entirely.

It's okay to take a breath, clean up slowly, and train yourself over the long-term to improve your data privacy health over time.

Privacy Is Like Broccoli

Improving privacy can get overwhelming at first. It's important to move one step at a time, but remain persistent. Good privacy is like good health habits.

Seconded, I jiust switched to Bitwarden a few weeks ago and love it.
KeePass was my second choice too, but Bitwarden just felt a lot more polished to me, without compromising on the security features I wanted.

Big fan of Mullvad VPN too after using it for many years — generally seen as the most secure I believe.

It makes me feel more than a little weird that my first reaction to the current Starlink outage is "Oh no did they crash before I could publish my paper about Starlink crashing?!"

Academia messes with your head.

Really, though, I sincerely hope they didn't start crashing and that the outage happening now is not compromising their ability to conduct collision avoidance maneuvers! In the last 6 months, they did one collision avoidance maneuver every 30 seconds, so that's incredibly important.

Found the funniest quote today.

China promising to eventually achieve communism is "just trickle down but for leftists". "Trust me bro just a few more decades of police state bro." 😂

@suzi_1960 we zijn al bij stage 4. cc @vosje62

@erikvisser @suzi_1960 ooit was er een draaischijf voor de aaifoon beschikbaar.

Applicatie: "Telefoon - bellen met een draaischijf!" neemt je terug naar vroeger (inclu. promocodes) - iPhoned

@vosje62 @suzi_1960 heb zoiets vergelijkbaars wel eens geïnstalleerd volgens mij. Maar kwam toch tot de conclusie dat het niet zo handig was.

@erikvisser @suzi_1960 😅😅 inderdaad ... Hier ook.

Ook heb ik nog wel eens een t9 toetsenbord voor de grap geïnstalleerd. Eigenlijk wil je dat niet.
Toch heb ik er ooit veel plezier van gehad.
