Just doing my undue diligence.

Followed you out of the blue = stole you from someone I respect.

Blocked inadvertently? Ask!

Am I following a dirtbag? Tell me!

Suggestions welcome!

Boosts not about security ... usually are.

The latest Pixel Watch update seems to have taken away the ability to show the weather for a fixed location. As far as I can tell, the only way I can see what the temperature is in my town ... is to turn on location.

Like that project that mapped process management to Doom (killing creatures = killing of processed), except mapping managing my shell history to sci-fi time-travel editing of the timeline.

(Screenshot from actual recent cmdline activity, that gave me the idea)

Uh oh, @zackwhittaker is Back On His Bird B------- (and I say this with love, as I "Showed anyway" for every single one of these posts, and left satisfied!)
Apparently some of the people/AIs writing automatic articles about stock-price shifts and earnings announcements don't know the difference between "sales" and "revenue".

Today -- much later than should have been -- I learned about Hilda Faust Mathieu.

https://www.nsa.gov/History/Cryptologic-History/Historical-Figures/Historical-Figures-View/Article/1711598/hilda-faust-mathieu/

Computer network pioneer Hilda Faust Mathieu was an early advocate recognizing network vulnerabilities and one of the driving forces developing security controls for network protection.

[...]

When the Director of NSA established the Department of Defense Computer Security Center in 1981, he appointed Ms. Mathieu Chief of Research and Development for Computer Security. In the mid-1980s, Ms. Mathieu formulated the then-controversial concept that computer network exploitation was a feasible and worthwhile goal. She also recruited the first engineers to begin target development and exploitation. Her vision evolved into a major operational component of NSA.

And credited in the seminal 1970 Ware report (RAND) as "Miss Hilda Faust".

What the hell?

[Update: they were quoting something about the impending winter storm, but the quoted item didn't surface in my view of the bridging]

It's not a "competing bid" if I'm just watching an item and have never bid on it, eBay.
These used to be swipeable. Now they require two taps to clear them, which is a pretty non-standard UI metaphor for this class of use case. Feels oddly user-hostile. Almost as if the goal is to make the user spend more time looking at a commingled list of notifications and offers (that should have never been commingled in the first place).

OK, that's a new one!
