https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=897692090

TL;DR everything has a recycling triangle on it to make consumers feel better about buying plastics despite the fact that nobody has found a way to actually recycle the huge amount of plastic being disposed of through recycling bins and there was never any intent by Big Oil to actually invest in what would be their direct competition (recycled plastic rather than new plastic from petroleum products).

It's a hell of a mess here, but my #Commodore128 is now actually working as a terminal for my main PC so I've effectively got three monitors now. I'm so cool. #retrocomputing

I'm slowly exploring abstraction in portraiture. It's of course easier with a high-contrast reference like I used here, but ultimately I want to go beyond that. Thoughts and opinions welcome.

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. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/05/a-mistake-at-facebook-broke-spotify-venmo-tiktok-and-other-iphone-apps/
