If you're one of those people that doesn't care about privacy because βyouβve got nothing to hide, you never do anything wrong."
Just remember one thing.
Until the overturn of Roe Vs Wade, there were millions of women in this country that never did anything wrong either. But since the abortion laws changed, their smartphones and the data they collect are now being used against them in court.
You don't have to be doing something wrong to care about privacy.
so, e.g. -
"Microsoft Recall is bad" is not effective communication. Some dipshit's going to immediately argue that it meets his needs or desires and thus it's 'good', and then it's a whole-ass thing.
Instead, "Microsoft Recall provides a tool for domestic abusers to further their abuse" is much more effective. It specifies the behavior that I am concerned about, and the relationship of the thing being discussed to that behavior.

This is why I bought an old hotel CATV/MATV system, so I can run four analog TV channels in my home and they can have whatever TV I want on them. I still need to sort out the software, etc, but it's on the list.
The four channels I'm planning for are:
- Kids TV
- Science fiction
- Movies
- General (everything else, kinda like Sky One)
There's provision for additional modulators, if I feel that four channels aren't enough and want say a channel just for documentaries.
A recent video I saw re the difference between UK and US supermarkets got me thinking about my own personal TV consumption again.

I don't watch modern linear TV nowadays because I don't find it satisfying; there's too much choice, and that spreading of the viewing pool has lead to a lot of mush that doesn't really interest me.
I do want a linear TV experience but for it to be more curated with less choice.
π€ Appeal to the Browser Goddesses π€
Can we please make it a thing where 32GB of RAM isn't an insufficient amount for day to day web browser usage? Getting an OOM core dump for that reason is inexcusable.
- Should the Zoom browser app really need 2GB on a single tab when it's already downscaling a 1080p feed to 320p on an enterprise account?
- Should Amazon's website really need 1GB per tab just to view the cart or a ~800Mb for a single simple product page?
- Please remind me how an MKdocs fully static page with a single 400k image and no datatables or fancy JS somehow require 242Mb?
- Or perhaps shed some light on the requirement where Google's main page with a single search form somehow needs ~500Mb
There are no "good reasons" for these inefficiencies. We don't suddenly have better search fields or compressed jpegs now vs a decade ago with 1/10th of the system resources.

This is another commission for Zeta Syanthis! It's got some similarities to the previous one, but I also tried to make it distinct. Maybe it's another part of the same temple complex?
