Yeah. The web and our apps are infested with #DataVampires
An image created by Pat Walshe (Privacy Matters). It is a square shaped vampire head with fangs. The fangs are dripping with data - such as your location, the webpages you visit, cookie IDs, advertising IDs and lots of other data that allows DataVampires like Google to track you, profile and target you with ads etc

OMG. For a number of reasons, I bought an LG TV.

And just, well, setting it up and using it, is like wading into a nest of #DataVampires and dark patterns. OMG.

It's gonna take time to gather info for a regulatory complaint.

I posted a rant about how longtermist utilitarianism ("best future = the most possible 'people'") is dumb bc it ignores options like aim for the best median QoL or least inequality or both, which struck me as I listened to the last #DataVampires ep. of #TechWontSaveUs

Light blue text with lighter blue glow "Data Vampires" on image of man laying on a bed in a room illuminated by a window behind, and a man floating above sucking his energy, represented for light bokeh going from the head of the resting man to the face of the vampir floating looking at him.

I know I yap about the Survivor trilogy but they're not bad games! Even Shadow, writing aside, is a fun game to play.

I do want to single out a moment tho.

Lara's first kill.

The first time I played it: whoa omg this is intense!

The second time, having gone through previous games? It's fine.
