This contains all the pictures and everything I do on social media. It is meant as a sort of backup option, so all the data is also on my own server. I can never know when one of those services decides to either close or do any other action that’s unacceptable to me. This way, I have everything still available.

Daring Fireball: Woz’s Schematics for Prototype Apple II Sell for $630,000

I agree:

Indiana Jones voice: These belong in a museum.

I’m not joking. I don’t want to get all sappy here, but if Woz doesn’t design the Apple II, there’s no Apple. There’s no Mac in 1984, there’s no iPhone in 2007. There’s no NeXT in between, and a NeXTStep box is where the web was created. None of it happens like it did without these genius designs for that amazing computer.

Tom Cruise Blasts ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ Crew for COVID-19 Problems – Variety

I know from personal experience that what Tom Cruise said here is true. He’s not doing it alone of course, a lot of other individuals are making those phone calls and make sure we stay in business.

I am very grateful for that.

“We are the gold standard. They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. Because they believe in us and what we’re doing. I’m on the phone with every fucking studio at night, insurance companies, producers and they’re looking at us and using us to make their movies. We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherfuckers. I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever!”

Opinion | You Are Now Remotely Controlled – The New York Times

Still, the winds appear to have finally shifted. A fragile new awareness is dawning as we claw our way back up the rabbit hole toward home. Surveillance capitalists are fast because they seek neither genuine consent nor consensus. They rely on psychic numbing and messages of inevitability to conjure the helplessness, resignation and confusion that paralyze their prey. Democracy is slow, and that’s a good thing. Its pace reflects the tens of millions of conversations that occur in families, among neighbors, co-workers and friends, within communities, cities and states, gradually stirring the sleeping giant of democracy to action.
