This is great - Google providing 100,000 free security keys through 2023 to high-risk users. (Though I am still disappointed that - after all of the joint early work Google did with Yubico - they went with Feitian instead of Yubico to provide the raw hardware for the current Titan Security Key series.)

I thought Everything Everywhere All at Once was going to be a docu drama about Dropbox but it wound up being an odd examination of the IRS.

Japanese users reported #TwitterAPI-accessed accounts being frozen a day ago. Twitter disabled Movetodon's access about 8 hours ago.

The casualty is not the FediVerse. The casualty is the people who relied upon free-of-charge #Twitter, directly or indirectly, for everything from authentication to robot-posted pictures of possums. They've lost all of that.

They were always the product, not the customer, of course.

Evolution of Smart Products cartoon - Marketoonist | Tom Fishburne

One of the most popular cartoons I ever drew was about the Internet of Things, right after Google announced the acquisition of Nest in early 2014. “I think my Nest smoke alarm is going off,” one character tells another. “Google Adwords just pitched me a fire extinguisher and an offer for temporary housing.”

Marketoonist | Tom Fishburne - Marketoonist is the thought bubble of Tom Fishburne. Marketing cartoons, content marketing with a sense of humor, keynote speaking.
