BREAKING: After me spending the last week criticizing @TeamYouTube@twitter.com's takedown of my raw footage from January 6, they have just demonetized my ENTIRE CHANNEL.

They say I produce "Content that focuses on controversial issues and that is harmful to viewers"

Feels like for a lot of people any motivation for changing their surroundings have been replaced by cynicism and snarky comments. I don't want to be this way too. Please.

Apropos ... various thoughts (he'd have been 101 this year), looking at Isaac Asimov's Wikipedia bio.

He wrote or edited over 500 books, and an estimated 90,000 letters or postcards.

Asimov died in 1992, aged 72. His letter-writing probably started somewhere between ages 10 and 20, I'll assume 22 for round numbers.

90,000 letters in 50 years is just under 5/day, or 150/month.

If he'd begun at age 12, for a career of 60 years, it's 4/day or 125/month.

(And I suspect that the "estimated" is based on working backwards from the number of items sent in a typical day / week / month / year.)

I suspect many people's social media activity greatly exceeds this in quantity, if not quality.

Social Media Privacy Policy in a Nutshell

Theory:
1. Reinvent a square wheel
2. Understand what's so hard about making wheels
3. Observe how a round wheel someone invented a while ago performs better than your square one.
4. Appreciate the brilliant and simple solutions to all wheel design issues that a round wheel implements.
5. Throw away your square wheel.

Practice:
1. Reinvent a square wheel
2. Push it to production

I use Wayland.
Doesn't mean you have to.

I like Wayland.
Doesn't mean you will like it if you try it.

Telling people they must use Wayland because Xorg is deprecated is a good way to make them hate Wayland.

Tell them it works for you.
Tell them about all the rough edges: caveats, bugs, by-design-absent features, required configuration.

If they still want to try it, they'll have the right attitude when doing so, and they won't be disappointed.

Today marks the end of #PinePhone Community Editions.
Thank you to
@ubports,
@postmarketOS,
@manjarolinux,
@kde and @mobian for making it possible. And thank you to all of you who picked up a CE and supported the mobile Linux cause!
