Are you FloCed? The #eff has put up a website to check whether you are part of the "original trial" set of users, as #google calls it. To find out, head over to https://amifloced.org/

My favourite #firefox extension is by far Multi-Account Containers. The fact that you can compartmentalize your browsing to the extent that this extension allows can go a long way in improving your online privacy.

This is brilliant! #signal launched an Ad campaign on Facebook that showed targeted users what Facebook knows about them. Genius!

Oh and Facebook blocked the campaign and disabled Signal's Ad account as you would imagine.

Today's win: I got an old friend onto #signal. They're still using other messaging apps, obviously, and I'm most likely the only contact they have on Signal right now, but it's a step in the right direction.

Two 0-day vulnerabilities on iOS being actively exploited in the wild have recently been patched. Make sure your devices are up to date.

#theexpanse is such a piece of art. I was never really into sci-fi but this show took visual effects to a new dimension. Now I can’t wait for the next season to come out.

A few days ago, I thought I'd set up a website using a static site generator, based off of a simple theme. Quick and easy. Next thing you know, I'm building my own template for #hugo from scratch.

I'm looking for a static site generator. Any recommendations?

What's this #water trend all about?

#github Pages is making a statement against Google’s #Floc. All sites served from github.io will be automatically opted out.

You set up a local server for #dns. All the machines on your local network are pointing to this server for name resolution. Now, it's time to pick your upstream DNS server. You want to protect your clients' #privacy as much as possible. Which approach will you take?

If you’re on #ios you want to be on the latest 14.5 and keep that new tracking option turned off.

Just crossed the 333 toot mark!

I'm having one of those binge-coding weekends and my companion on this one is #go. I'm seriously starting to consider making a code snippet in my IDE for:

if err != nil { return err }

#python is getting quite a few new features in version 3.10: an evolved switch case, a more explicit type alias definition, and a cleaner type checking syntax. The latter is by far my favourite. I was getting tired of all the Unions.

I wish there were a way to have #ublockorigin automatically update filter lists on a regular basis.

Nothing beats lounge-style jazz for spitting out some code and getting things done. I don't consider myself a jazz person but it sure does keep me in the flow.

The new #iPhone colour that was announced recently could actually be a tribute to Steve Jobs, 10 years after his passing away. His favourite colour was purple.

Can someone please tell me that #facebook’s plans for an instagram for children under 13 is just a bad joke? Right facebook? You’re not actually planing on targeting kids now, are you?
