@adamconover I love how the pictures of the "nasty characters" are screen grabs of a CRT television, scanlines and all. Nintendo of the 1980s was so scrappy. But we didn't know or care. The games were art back then if not more so now.
Here's a pdf for those who want a closer look: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAANE.pdf

Consumer Reports (CR) has released a mobile app (iOS, Android on the way) that shows what data companies collect about you, then allows you to have CR get the data deleted:

Essentially, CR will act as the data ombudsman for anyone who asks them to. I love it.
CR is a non-profit that accepts no advertising or corporate sponsorship, and they have a great reputation. It's a superb choice to take on the data capitalists.
US-only (don't @ me).
Micro SF/F by O. Westin"Will I get strong if I grow my hair long?" the young man asked.
"No," said the witch, "but if you do, you are strong."
"I don't understand."
"Many will tell you to cut it, even if it's not their hair."
"I see. And your short hair..."
"Is how I like it," said the witch.

Season 1 of #TheOrville is the best season. Below average people in command trying to get by told with MacFarlane's humor. Awesome. Similar in a way to #StarTrekLowerDecks, it never got too serious and respected source material.
By season 3, the humor was swapped for forced existential crises and flat characters, making it feel more like a #StarTrekTheNextGeneration knock off rather than an homage. Leave the drawn out pans of spaceships to #StarTrek: the Motion Picture.
I have been looking for a use case to work with #ZFS on my personal laptop. Then on #25admins episode 126 I hear about #ZfsBootMenu.
I've been reading the docs all weekend and this is awesome: clone, snapshot, and roll back system files. Encryption support. Ssh support at the boot menu. Where have I been? It feels like this is one of those things that will be impossible to let go of once I start using it.
So today: do I setup more of the nursery for the newborn arriving any day now? Or ZBM? :)

This morning I installed #DwarfFortress Classic. Now I'm in bed. I'm not sure what happened in between.
@nixCraft I choose option 5: "Don't care, let's move on"
I installed the #DuckDuckGo #Android app and enabled "App Tracking Protection". In the last week, it blocked 63,523 attempts from 21 apps. The most flagrant? #Starbucks which phones home daily to 3 separate tracking services, sometimes 4,000+ times at once (including GPS coordinates, if it were enabled). 😲
While #PiHole is running for the house, this extra layer of protection is absolutely necessary when I'm not at home.
Thanks @TuxDigital #DestinationLinux episode 303 for the tip! 👍
