I don’t really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.

  • I’d be excited if I stumbled upon an artist that I like, and they’d accept some private payment method (maybe Monero or something) for their music in a lossless format. Like a digital equivalent to paying cash for a CD at a concert — no exchange of PII, no tracking, no subscriptions, no marketing bs, etc.

    I suppose that applies to any digital content format. It’s a shame that privacy has become such a low priority.

    I was able to pursue a career from my favorite hobby. It took a lot of hard work to get there without the usual academic qualifications (university/college degree), but once I finally got hired for a full-time position, it was a dream job for me. I would have done a lot of it for free if it didn’t cost money to live. I’m also very lucky that my hobby happens to pay well.

    Since then, a bigger company acquired my employer. I still like my job (mostly), but I don’t love it yet. I’m required to delegate a lot of the work, which I used to love and take pride in, to AI. I’m gradually getting better at using AI effectively and efficiently, so maybe I can find joy in that, eventually.





  • Sure, I can imagine the political issues could lead to privacy issues. My question was not about whether or not that’s true[1]. I was simply wondering why a possible privacy issue would rank higher than the actual issue that has already happened.


    1. Something more specific/objective might be helpful though. Saying he’s “pro maga” is like saying he’s “bad vibes”; it requires the reader to just take your word for it without knowing exactly why. But, again, my question was more about the ranking ↩︎
