Why Bloat Is Still Software’s Biggest Vulnerability (IEEE Spectrum) Money quote,
"Add it all up and we are likely looking at over 50 million active

The Man Who Killed Google Search (Where's Your Ed At?) The man's name is Prabhakar Raghavan, and he is the one who called for enshittification of Google search, and won.
The Revenge of the Home Page (The New Yorker) I think that the thesis here, that conventional websites will replace social media for news distribution, is whistling past the grave.

This blog is a place to put my stream of consciousness thoughts about life, politics, technology, and cats.
It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)
I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.
40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.
I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy.
A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.
You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).
If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.
I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,
Privacy Policy
I reserve the right to use any comments in my (paper) newsletter. Also, I will make an attempt to contact the commenter and offer them a copy of the newsletter.
I may also post on the blog on your comments.
I use Google ads, and Google Analytics, because Google is watching you anyway. They own blogger.
You can review your ad settings, and Google's policies, here.
Commercial Disclosures
Please, send me free stuff, and I will consider doing a review.
I am a complete whore, so assume that any review is the result of free stuff, and/or under the table payments.
I will do my level best to reveal such conflicts when I remember to.
