Yes, and I used to be able to shit my pants in public without anybody thinking much of it, but then I turned five and it turns out people expect you to actually act on what you've learned.
You don't get to keep doing something forever just because you did it once.

PLEASE RT THIS SO AMERICANS RESIDENT OVERSEAS LEARN OF A LITTLE-KNOWN WAY TO VOTE ABSENTEE AS LATE AS ELECTION DAY!!
I’ve mentioned here before how my Texas absentee ballot was, erm, never received by the Tarrant County Clerk. I gave a call to the always helpful AARO - Association of Americans Resident Overseas - and the always helpful staff there told me of something that, in 17 total years of living abroad, I never knew:
The US Federal Government provides what AARO refers to as an “emergency absentee ballot”. It is available online at https://www.fvap.gov/.
It is good for Service members, their families and overseas American citizens. You download the ballot, enter your personal information and your state, then the candidates for federal elections like President/Vice President, Senator, Representative; and even state offices you wish to vote for.
Print it out, follow the instructions. Go to your local post office and depending on your state, when you have it postmarked by Election Day it will (purportedly) be counted. Spell everything correctly. Be clear. Type if possible (the ballot may be filled in on your computer. Sign with a wet signature. Use the page provided to construct a security envelope. Put that in an envelope addressed to your district clerk (find it online).
Vote.

This post by @pluralistic shakes loose a thought I was talking over with a friend the other day: modern webdevs have made themselves marks for SaaS-adjacent, infantalising abstractions in large part because they assume themselves immune to marketing.

Reminder that shit like this doesn't just disappear once a Democrat is in the White House, or even if we had a super majority.
Dems are no less in big tech's pocket than Republicans. If anything they are *more* sympathetic to Silicon Valley.
We need to start calling them out on it.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has written an op-ed published at MSNBC that links to last month's story about companies selling tools that can track hundreds of millions of mobile phones just by the digital exhaust from mobile ad networks.
"Congress needs to finally breach the corporate barricade that has blocked a strong consumer privacy law. I’ve authored my own strong privacy bills, the Mind Your Own Business Act and the Banning Surveillance Advertising Act. And in the coming months I plan to release two new bills: one that will protect Americans’ privacy by limiting how much data websites and apps can collect on Americans and preventing data brokers from amassing and selling that data, and another that will protect Americans from being spied on by their smart TVs and set-top boxes and having that data given away or sold to data brokers."

Just visited a web page where the HTML loaded immediately, followed by seconds of chaos and layout shift as the CSS and JS loaded in.
This is supposed to be a bad thing.
But after years of staring at the interminable pulsing of dim gray generic UI placeholders, it was positively refreshing.
