The webpage of #Tails is getting a new design.

Here's a first impression of something not finished, and still in the making. How do you like it?

@rw I feel very lucky with how well some of my work has done. I had no idea that 11 thousand people would read my article on "why privacy matters". It has done better than any expectations that I had.

Thanks for the comment about my articles. Engagement is better than any number of views!

@rw its often the case when I try posting my content to a new platform, I get very little engagement. I posted one of my articles to HackerNews and I got one upvote. Someone else posted it and it got to the front page. I don't make any money from my writing (which I luckily don't have to).

I try to write to provide (hopefully) interesting content to others. I enjoy writing, and if others enjoy reading it then I think I've done my job well.

@rw I really don't know who reads my articles. I share them on reddit and on some other sites (including here), and the views go up. But, it's just a number. What actually constitutes a view?

I'm very happy that people read my work, I appreciate comments even more.

I've only discovered your articles today, and I have enjoyed them thus far.

This is quite possibly my favourite person to listen to during this crisis. He's a historian and philosopher who is actively spreading awareness of the threats of surveillance that could come long after the pandemic is over. He's also extremely positive in the way that he looks at the crisis saying that we are more prepared now than ever before.

Holy crap, Windows 10 has a "Startup Apps" menu to disable apps from starting at boot!

Did... did windows just do something right?

I was very happy when my article on the Earn It act became a -top-story Today, another of my articles has become one, meaning I have 3 in total!

What do Spotify, Venmo, Tinder, TikTok & DoorDash have in common?

Their apps all crashed last week because they send data to Facebook, and Facebook had a bug!

Since tracking code is in so many apps, we strongly recommend deleting apps you rarely use.

In response to the new changes to I've created a whole new blog! It's not that exciting, just a place for me to put shorter or less 'relevant' posts (basically a notes section).

@syntax use some zip-ties or velcro straps to help out with the cable management.

Enter r/MechanicalKeyboards if you dare!

Sadly, I'm going to have to miss another day in
I had an article planned and a decent amount of time to write, but I simply didn't get round to it.

I promise an article tomorrow.
