Good morning #Mastodon! I'm excited to read more of The Filter Bubble today. I started reading the second chapter last night but then decided to go to sleep. 😄 :blobcatread:

I'm reading The Filter Bubble by Eli Pariser and the author is mentioning tracking cookies quite a bit in the first chapter. So now I've started clearing tracking cookies from my computer each time I exit a website lol 😆

Just checked out The Filter Bubble: How the New Personalized Web is Changing What We Read and How We Think by Eli Pariser from the library. Excited to read some of it. 😃

It'll be yet another book to add to the ones I'm currently reading lol 😂📚

"When asked for comment, an X spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap that Netflix has resumed advertising on the platform. Representatives for Netflix did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment."

Well I'm glad I don't have a Netflix subscription. I would cancel mine if I did but I don't.

I am doing something extraordinary today.
Clothes shopping.
Yes, despite popular belief, not all females like clothes shopping. My girlfriends even comment that I shop like a man.
I hate it so much my mother would threaten to buy clothes for me. So I will pre-empt her attempt at dressing me up by going on these clothes shopping trips.

I'm thinking of switching over to Neocities and my Linefeed blog.

Seeing how many views I get and all the other analytics gives me anxiety lol. I wish I could turn it off but I don't think you can on Wordpress.com.

So I think I'm going to switch to a different platform and see if I get more writing done.

I love the way old guitars that have been played look, but I have not, and never will, understand the appeal of pre-aged guitars like these $5000+ Fender custom shop guitars. They look cool because they've been played hard for years and there's a history to it.

If it just looks that way because someone took sandpaper to it in the factory, what is the point? It's not like you can't find actual vintage guitars for that much money. #guitar

"For longtime Instagram users, no longer having audio on their older videos could be a big loss. Part of why people post on Instagram is to preserve moments in time, and audio is often a huge part of what might make a video special or memorable."

I feel like relying on Instagram or Facebook to archive memories is a really bad idea 😬 :facebook: :insta:

Uh what the hell?? So Harvard took money from her??

"...her superiors took away her ability to start new projects, raise money or organize large events, she alleges. They kept the money she had brought in, including more than $1 million from Craigslist founder Craig Newmark that he wanted specifically to go to her research project, according to documents quoted in the declaration."
