there are videos that show its clear that users know that the govt concerns for privacy are bs & that every US app has the same level of privacy issues. i feel like users understand the futility of privacy here, so they want their agency & communities if that's the only thing they can have

Been meaning to read this book, and now it's clear I need to hurry up. Reading the excerpt in your post I just was screaming in my head "Pearson? As in Pearson Correlation?"

The pain I am continuously experiencing since I updated acrobat is that the page navigation is in the bottom right hand corner, after what may be likely decades of it being top left for me. I’m struggling to acquire the muscle memory mapping & just keep thinking that you can’t jump to pages anymore

I feel like the fact that they fired an exec who was using the HoloLens to view porn should be enough evidence to demonstrate that they should know better. www.thegamer.com/microsoft-ex...

I am a bit shocked about this story this morning! I absolutely shouldn’t be, but I really had other thought plans for my day…
