Sonos states on their website that "sustainability is non-negotiable," and that they design products to minimize impact, but I work at an e-waste recycler and have demonstrable proof this is false.

Sonos's "recycle mode" intentionally bricks good devices so they can't be reused.

The first Converse.js stickers have arrived in the mail.

Look out for these at the real-time lounge at FOSDEM next year.

I love the design of the new Tesla Cybertruck. Looks friggen awesome. If #synthwave was a car, this is what it would look like.

"we are seeing complaints among our beta testers regarding the new permissions, in particular the read_SMS permission, and are working to develop reactive messaging and figure out ways to minimize such complaints going forward"

@PrivacyMatters@twitter.com In 2013, FB considered to partner with a firm who provides "credit verification and scoring services", "sees 90% of credit card transactions in the US" + "buys the anonymized, user level transaction data directly from the banks and then works with Epsilon to re-identity the data"

Very interesting stuff in the leaked Facebook documents, indeed.

See e.g. from page 1561:
https://dataviz.nbcnews.com/projects/20191104-facebook-leaked-documents/assets/facebook-sealed-exhibits.pdf

For example, Facebook did actually analyze "call log data (e.g. duration/frequency/recency of incoming/outgoing calls/texts)" and use it for friend suggestions.

FYI, Google is trying to kill web URLs

Google wants users to use Google search as the access point for all content on the web. They are doing this by:
1. Removing visible URLs in Chrome
2. Penalizing sites for not using Google AMP
3. Removing URLs from search results

Quite happy with my little garden of death. It's over to years old now and the plants look very happy with multiple ones in bloom.

Five different types of sundew, two types of Venus fly traps and a pitcher plant. The tropical pitcher got too big, it's in its own pot now.
