💩 I'm not using instagram anymore, but every now and then I get a password recovery email from them because someone else is trying to access my account. The email says: "If you didn't request a new password, let us know." Fair enough. The link takes you to a website which says "Thanks for letting us know that you did not request a password reset". But it's a static website! No username/token in the URL. They have no idea I clicked on the link! Why is everything is going down the drain...

For those who want to test their perception of colour, I made a little game called "What's My JND"

What's My JND?

Find your Just Noticeable Difference in colour perception. How small a colour difference can you actually see?

In 2013 Aaron Swartz committed suicide for facing 35 years in prison for mass downloading scientific articles.

Updating this: I’ve tried restoring the phone from an iCloud backup, and guess how much System Data is using now? 20 GB 🫠🤡

I hope one day that people who think "oh man, I didn't think this would get political" realize that they're just not in a marginalized group.
Obsessed with this quote from an AI bro who is under the impression that horses "can do whatever they want now" as a result of the invention of the car.

Yikes, just saw that 1Password hiked their App Store subscription prices too. Our family plan is increasing by over 55%.

I’ve been grumbling about their app for years. Time to abandon ship.

Which competitor has the least worst Mac app?

Beautifully stated in last week's @comfortzone from @nileane — Paraphrasing:

Who's to blame when children are on TikTok in school all day? The kids, or the tech companies exploiting them?

Obviously the latter, so then why are kids being punished with social media bans, phone bans, and isolation from some legitimately useful technology?

We need to be going after the root problem. Politicians once again trying to put out a fire by looking the other way.
