Asking strangers has proven a winning strategy, based on some research.
Strangers protect strangers’ stuff on the beach (experiment)
Think Canon tried that years ago with some SLRs - expecting that tech will be the only thing that proves anything someday. Wonder if it’s panning out.
For some reason I thought this was about human bodies at first
Fancy thing to call it maybe?
thx for TIL Tal :)
The “crossed off the list for life“ strategy doesn’t much work for me either… but we’re best off keeping score somehow, for sure.
Could be boycotting companies most recently in the news for bad behavior, or who are doing the greatest harm
Would that almost be OK if it were like 40 characters long? Like, you can view any photo on Google Photos if you have the right alphanumeric string
Would still be saved insecurely in password managers and other issues though
Ahaha you can really hear it
Those eyes have seen some pixels

The image is a Venn diagram that compares the overlapping qualities between "Eligible to be President", "Would be a good President", and "Unusually vocal about love of Venn diagrams". The central overlapping area contains the text "Kamala Harris", while the eligibility and vocality areas contain the text “Me”.
Title text:
Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'

A "My Little Resume" in the style of My Little Pony, with some sections redacted.
Rough OCR:
This little pony went to in He graduated with highest honors and even received a departmental award for academic excellence! While at he cultivated an ongoing love for...
Computer Science & Mathematics!
For two years he worked as a tutor for the Computer Science department. He loves passing on his knowledge and getting everyone excited about computer science!
One summer he worked for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He developed an online tool for analyzing thermal neutron triple-axis spectrometry data. He even had his very own nuclear reactor to play with!
The next year he had an Extreme Blue internship with IBM. He worked with a team of interns at the Almaden Research Center to develop technology related to online shopping. But he's not allowed to talk about it too much! (He signed a non-disclosure)
After graduation he galloped off to work as a radio DJ, and freelance web developer. He produces stunning, high quality websites for all the nice ponies hanging out in the
For a few months he dabbled in domestication, working for a startup in San Francisco called. He spearheaded major projects, infrastructure upgrades and code cleaning frenzies while ensuring that thousands of hardworking ponies got quality, catered lunches of grains, oats, and grasses every day! The daily plough just wasn't for him though, so he threw off the bit and bridle and galloped back to He still does contract work for on other companies on occasion, and in the fall he'll be heading off to a computer science Ph.D. program at the University of Washington!
The adventure is far from over... What will this little pony do next, who knows??

Summary:
Amazon's returns process is a complete dumpster fire - they'll slap a "new" sticker on your used crap and put it right back up for sale. Case in point: a small biz got screwed when Amazon resold their poopy swim diaper as brand new, tanking their company. Thankfully, Amazon took immediate action (JK). At least sellers now at least have the option to opt-out of returns being sold as new.

Attached what I think are my relevant settings. I mainly use Safari for iCloud Private Relay.
Maybe it makes it harder for a site to track me if I’m using Private Browsing versus using the regular mode without clearing website data, eh?
Too bad Tab Groups don’t isolate cookies (and other data), seems like that would solve for some of my use cases. And too bad Private Tabs forget cookies when they’re not used for a while / you run out of RAM. That would also solve for some use cases.
I’d like to pin a dozen or so completely isolated tabs and have them always maintain my cookies. Because I can’t, I use Tab Groups for a few sites I use frequently, and launch a new Private Tab for everything else.
