Thanks to this article my WOTD is: allopreening - The mutual preening of two birds. Probably one of the most obscure words I've come across recently.

Why does this app even exist? Why is everyone in this thread so okay with more surveillance? It’s ironic that people are arguing over technicalities instead of tackling the moral and societal impact of age verification.

New comment by senorqa in "Study: emotional support from social media found to reduce anxiety"

senorqa — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 06:33:14 +0000

I think that the whole discussion about the impact of social media on people, especially the young ones, would change if people started calling social media what it should have been called from the beginning, namely anti-social media.

> Sergey Brin’s lesson for the rest of us

Is it? I know people who are really happy without doing much in their retirement. Probably because they weren't workaholics.

To my mind, if one doesn't have hobbies during the working years, then they will struggle to find purpose when they retite.

New comment by senorqa in "There Is No Future for Online Safety Without Privacy and Security"

senorqa — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 06:45:20 +0000

I’m puzzled by the limited opposition from businesses regarding government attempts to access encrypted communications. Granting governments easy access—which inevitably leads to uncontrolled monitoring—compromises a company’s most valuable asset: its privacy. This would effectively hand over the keys to their operations, exposing them to security breaches, stifling growth potential, limiting access to competitive markets, and ultimately, jeopardizing company ownership. Corrupt officials could exploit this access to manipulate markets, facilitate insider trading, sabotage business plans, and even plant fabricated evidence within company communications and systems, leading to potential takeover and imprisonment of owners.

> That's when I learned the difference between burnout and disillusionment. Burnout drains your body; disillusionment erases your purpose. You can recover from exhaustion with rest, but you need something else entirely to recover from meaninglessness.

This can be a life changing thought!

If there's no meaningful reward or punishment for keeping or leaking PII, companies won't do anything about it. They'll keep collecting sensitive inf unless they're educated or forced not to collect unnecessary PII.
