"Information about people’s movements, collected via apps on their phones, is regularly sold by data brokers."

This is one of the things that gets me the angriest. Society never had a chance to agree to this, to even discuss this, until it was too late.

Checking out Mastodon for the first time in around a year, and wow: the interface and options have come a long way. I'm ready to give this place another go into 2019.

I'm moving! After a wonderful 5½ years in San Francisco, I'm going to New York City, around the end of this month.

I'll be doing the Summer 2 batch at Recurse Center, starting July 5. If you're in the city, hit me up! (And please help me find a place.)

Started and finished What Remains Of Edith Finch last night. Outstanding experience, beautifully done.

If you liked it, you may like their previous (and only other) game, The Unfinished Swan. It's much simpler by comparison, but it's beautiful and has some great ideas.
