The Americans. How weird to make a 70-some episode commercial for a defunct self-improvement program.

@adrianh that reminds me, I visited a very concrete place last month and thought of your calendar…
Rio's Metropolitan Cathedral
@faberfedor Yeah, I thought it was a good album, but so far doesn't hold a candle to the earlier stuff. (Also, "Autobiography of Mistachuck" I might like better than any of the PE albums!)
Today we rewatch Final Destination 3, because it has fireworks.
@faberfedor Yeah, I haven't really bothered other than an automatic sleep focus. But it feels a lot like "you set this up to protect yourself from an app; now it wants to know what you're doing"
@faberfedor It's a setting where you say "When I'm [At Home], these apps have their push notifications muted or deferred until the summary, and this other stuff happens, and my icons move around."

Hm. OneDrive just asked to know what my current "Focus" in macOS is. The OS said, "Can it have permission to share your focus?" The app elaborated, "It needs to know your focus so it can decide what notifications to show."
I thought that the OS did the filtering, so the app didn't have to know. If true, it feels like the app is lying to me, and wants to know that so it can perform analytics on my focuses. This makes me want to enable even fewer permissions!
EricI've referenced it enough that now it's all I can hear when I read it. Now you have to hear it too 🙉 https://ericwbailey.website/published/you-must-listen-to-rfc-2119/

Catharina Bethlehem ☑️ CathThis is not a conspiracy theory: Many of the devices living in your home are quietly collecting towering heaps of information about you.
Your TV, your speakers, your doorbell, your security system, your thermostat, even your earbuds — all of them are involved. Some of that data may be shared, analyzed, and then sold to the highest bidder, hundreds of times a day, by organizations you’ve never heard of.

Devices in your home are quietly collecting information about you. Some of that data may be shared, analyzed, and sold by organizations you’ve never heard of. Maybe it’s fine. Maybe not.
