Speaking of privacy oriented choices on the Internet, why isn’t #threema used by more people??

Big fan of #protonmail and their larger mission but a little surprised they are “consolidated their social media presence and no longer posting on Mastodon”. I would have expected them to lean in and host an instance themselves! @protonprivacy

I think it's the most #genx thing to hardly post on social media.

Yes, I’m still around. Just didn’t have any time to post anything.

I wonder what the right balance between companies driving innovation and government creating the environment for it is. I’m sure there are going to be books written about this moment where AI has its breakthrough in all these aspects of our lives. Clearly, as consumers are increasingly exposed […]

I took my camera to the beach with the family to see if I could shoot some pictures of pelicans. Little did I know that my phone would capture the best shot that day. Brown Pelicans, Point Reyes, CA. #photography #birdphotography

I kept my #twitter / X account because I wanted to remain in the loop on what the right is thinking. But it's not what the right is thinking. It's become a cesspool of content creators / rage-bait posters, paid opinion shapers to spread $someone's propaganda, and outrage swamp. The fact that […]

So this deer wandered into our backyard and didn’t find its way back out. We saw this on our camera in our backyard. While we were roughly 30,000 feet in the air and another 10 hours out from home. What would you do? #homeintruder #deer #donteatmyplants

Happy 4th of July!

I think I am probably the last person on earth to learn this, but whatever you do, do NOT use online platforms to browse cars. All hell will break loose if you do. #cars #buying #spam #phonecalls #emails #SMS

Trying on this Vision Pro thing and I think it’s got potential. Especially with the multi-fit band the weight is barely noticeable, at least for me. Loving the fact that I can just scatter my windows around, sit down and type on a keyboard when I need to, but otherwise can gesticulate as my […]

Quick shot from my phone. Amazing the kind of pictures these devices can produce. Shot at Übersee, #chiemsee. #photography #landscapephotography #lakes

Couple of nights ago was #strawberrymoon - we had the pleasure of seeing it on Islamorada, FL. #photography #landscape #beach #moon

Moving to #texas - let's see how it goes...

I am not really sure why, but my feed is full with really angry feminists, Hamas supporters and - for lack of a better term - people wronged by AI somehow (?). I mean, fair enough, however: It used to be a tad more friendly here. Anybody else notice this, or did we all just decide to get more […]

I think at this point it's clear where it will ultimately end, which is where all innovation went: mainstream. I am not sure about the source of it, but there was a story about how people were concerned about automobiles because it would spin up dust on roads hitherto meant for horses and carts […]

Fighting with my UniFi setup for two days in a row now. Something went horribly wrong and I don’t know what. Too many things for this to be normal. I’m suspecting my UDM PRO gave up.

I am looking for a better privacy focused browser. It seems that most folks are recommending Brave these days. I downloaded it and found it working just fine, if a little feature abundant. Thoughts on what other alternatives are out there? #privacy #browser

Peace of mind. #photography #naturephotography

It's interesting to see this whole negative reaction to AI across various projects. Objections seem emotional, not rational. Some arguments are outright silly, IMHO. "If you allow AI contributions to open source, it may introduce bugs!" As if a human contribution (or code review!) was so […]

Well, looks like my 401k is in for a wild ride. 💀 #stocks #tariffs #trump

Privacy is a human right that should be granted to everyone, no matter the reason. But for millions of people around the world, data privacy is also crucial for their physical safety. For people in extreme situations, privacy can literally mean life or death […]

I think it's crazy that you have to think about your "public image" before you post something. People are fallible; putting an opinion out there is essentially a question to engage, debate and possibly change your mind. A public post should always possess an inquisitive quality, a question, not […]

"Wait, wait, wait -- somebody replied? SOMEONE REPLIED GANG! Can't believe it" #fediverse

Predictably, the first apologists are already claiming 5D chess. Shit like this gets people killed, not least of all the deployed daughters and sons of Americans who are trusting (or rather, forced to trust) this administration not to muck it up.

Well would you look at that. Seems like #signal is used to plan all kinds of things these days. #ButHerEmails

#x is getting worse by the day. I am very close to shutting down my account. I remember when Facebook became like that. Closed my account in 2016 and never looked back. However, feels a little like sticking your head in the sand. We can’t pretend there aren’t racist undereducated shitheads out […]

What are some of the lessons you've learned over the years as a product manager? For me, it's many, here are some of them: 1. 2 types: product managers and product leaders. Be careful which is required and asked for in the job you're applying for. There is a difference. 2. product managers […]

There’s this narrative on X about the #zelensky visit whereby if you only watch the last ten minutes, you are on Zelensky’s side but if you watch the entire meeting (50 min or so) then supposedly it’s clear that Vance and Trump were in the right. My question would be (as I haven’t got the time […]

It's 2025 and I wonder how we got here. I've been a computing professional most of my career, and I recently took inventory of how things changed over the years. I wrote some of my thoughts down in a blog post. Note, I am not trying to write out history in objective accuracy, but merely […]

#productmanagement for you product managers out there, what are good hashtags to follow?

The moon as close as I can get it zoomed in. I am using a 600 mm tele plus a x2 teleconverter. The picture has been enhanced with AI to denoise. #photography #moon
