Today is a good reminder to not take freedom for granted.

Remember what was lost. Cherish what you have. Fight for what’s at risk.

@nessa.dev this is payback for getting me into collecting vinyl records.
Last year, @linoman.bsky.social got me a little Rollei35. I really didn’t think I’d get back to analog cameras but here I am, 4 rolls deep, with 2 more cameras in my eBay cart. We apparently love getting each other into expensive hobbies.

Apple acknowledges that Siri unintentionally recorded private conversations

"The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri's alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items"

So I don't check my analytics that much, but this is the first time I've noticed that Bluesky topped the list of referrers to Techdirt (for non-search based traffic, Google still sent a lot more).

I never knew I enjoyed silence so much until I got this screaming tinnitus from Prozac. Peace vs mental stability, I can only choose one apparently.
