Mastodon includes an optional feature which lets you automatically delete your posts after a certain amount of time. There's a guide to using this feature including lots of questions answered at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period

It's off by default, it only deletes stuff if you switch it on. You can also set it to keep certain posts, more info in the guide.

I've tried to answer questions about this feature in the guide, but let me know if I've missed anything.

A rare moment where you root for regime change in all three countries involved

@cR0w "Infosec isn't a sprint, it's a marathon!"

No, infosec is a hamster wheel with a giant motor attached to it. And if you stop running, the wheel keeps turning and you die tumbling.

NEW: Palantir, Colorado's most valuable publicly traded company, suddenly departed for Florida today. The Governor and Denver's Mayor say they were blindsided. @marshallzelinger reports for @nextwithkyleclark:
NEW: Denver appears to be breaking ties with Flock, asking other companies to come run the city's network of surveillance cameras
Lyons made the claim about local law enforcement at a hearing this morning. His claims did not mesh with our real-time reporting in 2024 on when the apartments were cleared of many occupants. We asked ICE which agency leaked their raid. No answer yet. Then the posts disappeared.
NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.
Fun Fact: My smartphone is turned off 95% of the time or so. I only turn it on when I have a specific need for a specific function. The overwhelming vast majority of my activities are on desktop systems, using native code or browsers where the invasive permissions of common mobile apps are generally not present. REMEMBER: The reason so many websites push you to use their mobile apps is that the iOS and Android permission environments provide vastly more opportunities for the collection of your personal data.

Dystopia notwithstanding, Ring's commercial about using their surveillance to find lost pets makes no sense.

They say 10M pets are lost per year & their service finds "more than 1 dog per day." So let's even say generously 500 dogs per year.

Out of 10M lost pets, they want Americans to commit privacy suicide for a .005% success rate???

"We fail 99.995% of the time! Let us violate your privacy!" is a helluva way to burn $10M in ads and destroy your brand.

I'm uninstalling my RING today.
