you know how group chats will oftentimes spawn another group chat that's basically the same one but without That One Guy in it?

Justin Baren, vocalist and bassist of Chicago pop band the Redwalls, dies at 40

Along with his older brother, Logan, Baren was an obsessive fan of the British Invasion sound of the 1960s. The band signed to a label right after graduating from high school, and went on to open for Oasis.

Relatedly, I will never not be in awe that the #fediverse exists. An open source, free social media with no profit incentive or direct method of monetization. Built and maintained primarily by volunteers. It’s precious and wildly under appreciated

Business Insider reports that Oura is planning to expand its Oura wearable rings beyond health tracking to allow for payments, authentication, and more.

Well, Capitan Buzzkill (me) here wrote about Oura's security and privacy practices earlier this year, and found:

• Oura rings *don't* end-to-end encrypt users' health data;
• As such, Oura *can* access its users' data;
• Oura told me that the company *has* received U.S. government demands for users' data.

Oura ring deal raises valid concerns about users' health data security

The government partnership sparked customer concerns about the security of data collected by Oura's wearable, even if the spark was a red herring.
