I thought this was neat, just a look at how things would look in Mac OS9

Makes me want to get my Performa 630 back out, or my G3 desktop.

Starting to think this is a Roundo Darko thing.

Messaging is too wide for phone screen. Lame.

Also, why no images in private messaging?

Girl they TOLD you not to eat the food 😔

I'm gonna do my part to help people secure their data in 2025. If your first thought is, "What's the point?" don't think that! Being conscientious about your data privacy is always worthwhile, even if it seems like a losing battle sometimes.

So here's the stuff I recommend, and remember, you don't have to do all of these, but any you can do or are willing to do, do them!

• Use Signal. Get rid of WhatsApp, FB Messenger, stop using SMS/MMS/RCS, etc. Use Signal. It is the only end-to-end encrypted service with cryptographic proof that the company cannot read your messages. For extra privacy, set it up so that your messages disappear after a length of time, so if your phone or someone else's phone is compromised, at least there won't be a huge amount of data on you.
  
• Get off social media. I realize this isn't feasible for everyone, but limiting your "attack surface" of platform accounts means adversaries have fewer ways to reach and exploit you.
  
• Only use a passcode or unlock pattern on your phone. DO NOT use a fingerprint or face scan. The latter two can legally be forced from you to unlock your phone.
  
• While we're at it: for the love of god, don't ever bring your phone to a protest or any other kind of direct action. If you must, obtain and use a burner. (Also, don't take pictures of people's faces if at all possible.)
  
• Don't use Windows. I know, I know, "here he goes with the Linux shit again," but that's for good reason. Windows is 100% phoning home about you, constantly, sharing fuck knows what data about you, especially now that they are baking Copilot into everything. You simply have zero privacy if you are using Windows. Linux is easier now than ever, especially if you go with one of the beginner-friendly ones like Ubuntu. I promise there's nothing you can do on Windows that you can't do on Linux, though the way you do it may be very different.
  
• If you have a Google account, sign up for Advanced Protection. It's free. Get yourself two security keys (Titan keys or Yubikeys or whatever). Keep one in a firebox or a safe.
  
• Even if you use your Google account a lot, you don't have to use Chrome. Use Firefox or Opera or any other privacy-focused browser. Chrome is pretty much the worst offender in letting companies spy on your browsing, not least because Google makes most of their money off of ads.
  
• Use an ad-blocking solution like a Pi-Hole.
  
• Make sure you have a good internet router and keep the firmware up-to-date. Also review the security settings, make sure it's as locked down as possible. (If you need guidance on this, I can help.)
  

I like my private posts private and my public posts pretty as heck!

Can we get better Link previews for public facing posts?

Also I'd love post urls that use the truncated post subject.

I mention these things with the idea that people will share links to posts over social media or chat (signal). If that's not the vision that's totally cool. But if we want to attract readers these usability tweaks might help.

Adding Tetris CD-I Soundtrack as an honorable mention because I don't see it much (tends a little techno): 


Not vaporwave but holy fuck what the hell was up with the Solstice OST??? IYKYK
