Zoom fatigue is not about Zoom. It’s about bad audio and video.

Because I'm friends with a bunch of privacy folks on here, I want to give a PSA about an oddly worded request for info about data access procedures. It's a Princeton study, and you are under no obligation to respond. I think it's worthwhile to outline the study and my concerns:

Gonna take the blame off my ADHD this month and just blame my lack of serotonin on "supply chain issues".

I just found an ingenious way to get around the impending @Docker Desktop licensing kerfuffle: I paid them money for the software that I use all the time

People think OAuth is just about authorization, but in reality it is much more than that.

I added a fax machine emoji after my 1st name on @LinkedIn (because I was getting an absurd amount of recruiter messages daily) and I'm now LOLing at the amount of automated messages calling me "Chloe 📠" or "Chloe ?".

We don’t need everyone to upgrade log4j, just enough for herd immunity to takeover

early web: i can chat with my friends and download that song!

social web: now i can talk to everyone all the time but it kinda feels like a job
