• I'm susceptible to theft, arson, physical assault like everyone else. Not much to do about that.

• seems like the main concern then is making sure I'm not a weak link endangering others?

• In general it seems like the best defense against being disappeared or jailed on some trumped up shit is just to be visible and have friends?

Thinking out loud...

• It's truly hard to pick a threat model. Vigilantes? Government? Yes.

• my political sympathies and affiliations are public record. If those becomes crimes, privacy is a moot point

• I've tried to game out shame attack scenarios - secrets being outed - and there's not a lot. Nothing I couldn't just be honest about if I had to, I don't think

Any deep blue state governors and mayors who aren’t visibly going to the mat to protect their people need to be feeling the heat of a primary challenge starting now.

lol apparently Scribd/Everand is gonna force legacy users onto their new plans this year, which is really dumb because I'm gonna cancel like everyone else, and they could have made $9 a month forever from me for a service I barely used but didn't want to lose my grandfathered status

Wondering if this admin might not raise a lot of Americans' tolerance for tech that is a little less user friendly, in exchange for more privacy and independence

I'm relatively sympathetic to Bluesky, and I agree with many of Doctorow's points here, but his perspective on VC strikes me as naive, and the Audre Lorde quote is peak white dude. (And frankly Free My Feeds feels ominously in danger of becoming that, itself.) https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/113861019696086103

Didn't expect Advanced Data Protection for iCloud to be a horseman of planned obsolescence but apparently my old Apple Watch doesn't support it, so I had to log it out of iCloud. Which is fine, it still pairs with my phone, but now it constantly pesters me to log back into iCloud.

Working thesis: Social media is bad if it begins and ends as a substitute for socializing and longer writing, but good insofar as it leads to more of those things.

Saw Wild At Heart last night. Amazing - but also I see why it's not considered in his top tier. Felt like a collection of parts that didn't necessarily all come together. But the parts were amazing.
