Venture capital

I loved BoingBoing 20(ish) years ago. Several years ago I stopped visiting because SO MANY of their posts were just ads. I went to the site today because a friend linked to a story and just… Wow. The site is cancer now.

So here are some timely tips to help protect your location privacy.

The article explains each one in detail, but the list is:

• Disable Mobile Advertising Identifiers
• Audit Your Apps’ Trackers and Permissions
• Disable Real-Time Tracking with Airplane Mode
• Separate Devices for Separate Purposes

I got in a week or so ago and immediately started walking a ton more than usual. It was also great timing because I’m in Paris at the moment, so I’m walking so much every day and leveling up like crazy as a result.

1817807, here. Yours may be the smallest number I’ve ever seen.

Whenever I’m talking with someone about my podcast and they ask, “can I find it on Spotify?” a little part of me dies.

Like, yes it’s available on Spotify, because it’s available everywhere. But I strongly dislike what Spotify tried to do to podcasting, and there are much better apps out there.

I’ve been playing Sail Forth. It’s very basic, but still fairly fun.

Stupid, naturally safe helium!

It was especially frustrating when one of the NPCs broke the law, but I got blamed for it.

Nothing like spending hours schlepping bodies around the map. It was a little easier in Dishonored once I was able to make the bodies immediately disappear into ash.

In some games, I like to try to see if I can kill literally everyone on the map without getting caught or alerting anyone.

Follow real life traffic laws.
