When I see people who aren't concerned about their data and #privacy in general, I get angry. Specially when they say, “I don't have anything to hide”. It's like you have to have something to hide to care.

A regular website, these days, shares your data with 500+ other websites and data exchanges.

If your data weren't relevant to them, they wouldn't jump through hoops and try to find loopholes to steal your data.

Someone submitted a LEGO Idea of the “this is fine” meme and I’m here for it.

Don’t know LEGO Ideas? People can submit ideas for kits and anyone can vote for them. If they reach a target number of votes they can make it into production.

They got the votes. 👀

My cartoon for this week's @newscientist.com #science #mattdamon

At work we have started a new project called "Hot Chocolate Leather Queen" with sub projects like "transfemme" and "black justice". It has nothing to with any of that. We named it that to keep the prudish AI bots from stealing our work.

Fighting a losing battle for better IT security, I sent the Big Train sketch about no more wanking in the office to everyone in the company from the HR role account. I'd telneted in to a mail server from external dial-up. Got what I wanted.

@Redfuchs this is so true and also reminds me of this wonderful comic, which I treasure very much.
