Information theory, signal processing, computer architecture, voice synthesis, video compression… I knew all that stuff.

Dusting off and browsing some readings, assignments and my class notes of twenty years ago (or more) from , and I feel amazed, nostalgic, overwhelmed, fascinated and stupid in equal measure. No doubt I was way more intelligent back then, around the turn of the millennium! What have I done?

There Ain't Such Thing As Or Privacy And Even Most Sensitive Systems Are Broken,

> _“Millions of military emails have been mistakenly sent to Mali, a Russian ally, because of a minor typing error. Emails intended for the US military's ```.mil``` domain have, for years, been sent to the west African country which ends with the ```.ml``` suffix. Some of the reportedly contained sensitive information such as passwords, medical records and the itineraries of top officers.”_

> _“There is an asymmetry between and audiences, with a substantial corner of the ecosystem consumed exclusively by conservatives; and most , as identified by ’s Third-Party Fact-Checking Program, exists within this homogeneously conservative corner, which has no equivalent on the liberal side. […] Most sources of misinformation are favored by conservative audiences. […] Conservative audiences are more exposed to unreliable news.”_

I suspect the clause “as identified by Meta’s Third-Party Fact-Checking Program” is responsible for some meaningful bias here. Still, interesting and probably true.

I agree!

I'm an advocate for liberalism, capitalism, free markets and technology — as vital institutions and values bringing well-being.

At the same time, I criticise consumerism, reckless consumer choices, shallowness, and thoughtless impact on society and the environment — as individual choices and lifestyles.

I believe that "capitalism and technological progress are generally positive" and "we should probably live without certain luxury goods if they're not sustainable" at the same time and I feel very few people express these sentiments together.

Let me tell you the secret of the "Everything App".

It's real, it's not called X, and it's about 33 years old. It's called a Web Browser.

Despite a decade of walled gardens trying hard to ruin it, you can still do pretty much any task you need on the web.

You can even make websites into apps with Progressive Web Apps (two clicks on WordPress).

The everything app is old, and under siege daily. But it works, it's resilient, and it's magical.
