I made a reference sheet that links to privacy policies for various social networks. The next time someone asks if their privacy is being protected by a certain network or app, you can point them here.

#Threads has a very long list of requested app permissions. Screenshot below from Play store.

If you install this, you're opening yourself up to a lot of invasive data mining. Still think it's a good idea?

I've been trying to single-pin pick my first American 1100 padlock, and it keeps defeating me. Today I disassembled it to see what I'm dealing with.

I don't feel quite so bad now. I knew there were security pins, but damn. Drivers are three serrated spools, two deeply serrated standard. Then there's three serrated key pins. No wonder the feedback is confusing. I think I'm going to have to progressive pin this to get the feel of just a couple pins at a time.

Apparently posting resources that show someone's preferred news outlets may be heavily biased gets you blocked nowadays. Le sigh.

4. Do not post comment from politically extreme outlets. This goes equally for Left and Right. See images and links below for reference.

New #CoSo Best Practices Proposals:

1. Do not post links to #Twitter in light of their new policies. Use screenshots or thread reposting sites (as long as they still work).

2. Do not post paywalled links. Either generate a "gift" link if you are a subscriber to the site, or use one of the sites below to link an archived / cached version of the content.

3. Credit creators of all #art you post whenever possible.

To be clear, I am not talking about professional fireworks displays. I consider those works of art.

What is your opinion of independent/private fireworks usage?

People in my neighborhood are setting off the loudest non-commercial fireworks I've ever heard. I don't know if M80s are still a thing, but I know my dogs are not loving it at all. 🤬

These are the only fireworks I need today. 🇺🇲

Pro tip for new people:

Add profile and header images and say something on your profile header. Many more people will be inclined to believe you are a real person and want to interact with you.
