My enjoyment every day my site and my stuff is online, when half of the internet breaks. Self-host takes a little more effort, but the independence is freeing.

Thinking back to when the Matrix came out and I saw it in theaters 3 times in 5 days. Wonder if there'll ever be a movie that makes me do that again.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

In the winter of 1988, on a break from shooting DEAD POETS SOCIETY, seven of the young actors from the film traveled into New York City, 5 of them auditioning for the same role in the Jack Lemmon film DAD. The other two brought a video camera. I live for this stuff.

It is disappointing to see Google and others pushing zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for age verification. As EFF points out, ZKPs aren't enough to protect our privacy, and without a federal privacy law, they're just more fuel for data brokers.

People underestimate how much payment processors and insurance companies dictate the terms of commerce and drive behavior.
Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs
