Facebook Frolics 3
Crackdown. From The Guardian:
More at the link.
The surprising take-away about this is that Facebook has “community standards.”
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.

What about a crackdown on chumpbait bottom-feeder ads for X-Rated Poker and other “dating” services delivered with the come hither of a big-bosomed female thumbnail next to your feed and timeline?

Speaking of bottom-feeders . . . .
And it’s even on-topic!

Ha-ha. You can tell Sean Parker still has a drug problem, even with a staff to write it for him. Heh, the guy who helped “invent” Napster talking about the “democratization” of publishing. 9.5 k words, though. I was in Big Sur a couple times, always liked it. Wonder if he ate at Nepenthe?

Probably not. Wasn’t posh enough for the uber-toffs.
