Climate is what we expect. Weather is what we get. – Lazarus Long

I’m perfectly fine switching back to a “feature phone” aka dump phone that takes phone calls and sends texts. If it also could be used as a music/podcast playiner, that’d be great too.

Now that Youtube has returned to NO AD BLOCKING enshitification, I wonder what Youtube Creators are seeing with their viewing metrics. I switched to In Cognito or Private viewing, which may effect their metrics and monetization.

I have long fantasized about doing this exact same thing, especially to MAGA-types who somehow got my address and are mailing me requests for donations. Someone in those groups as well as THE SALVATION ARMY have discovered that those postage guaranteed reply envelopes cost money and prompt this response. So now all that stuff requires a stamp if you want to reply. I hope that’s cut down on their fundraising efforts.

Anything invented before you were eighteen was there all along. Anything invented before you’re thirty is exciting and will change the world forever. Anything invented after that is an abomination and should be banned. – Mark Twain
