Compromised frolickers.

There is a larger moral here, larger than that Facebook is a ginormous kludge.

  • Don’t log into third party sites using your Google, Facebook, or other password.
  • Create a unique password for every site.

If you are worried about keeping track of all those passwords, use KeepassXC. It’s local, meaning the data remains on your computer, not in the cloud on somebody else’s computer; the databases are portable, meaning that, if you update the database on one machine, you just have to copy the updated database to your other machines; and, if you are an Android user, it’s compatible with KeepassDroid.

I’ve used it through several iterations (it started as KeepassX, which is no longer maintained) for nearly a decade now; it’s the bee’s knees and the cat’s meow.

Privacy Policy

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
