Me: In my estimation, installing 'apps' on your cell phone and pairing/connecting it to your vehicle are two supremely horrible choices for your privacy. This article demonstrates why.
Headline: Mourning the (alleged) death of the Power BI Developer and thriving in uncertain times
Me: Gene eloquently shares how he's feeling about what's been lost and stolen from those of us whose career is in IT (in Gene's case, PowerBI).

I've decided that going forward, I'm going to put in the effort to try to never share links to articles that are behind a paywall or require javascript to be enabled.
I will try my best to remember to include these hash tags:
#NoJavascript
#NoPaywall
Headline: USPS Is Putting Dashcams in Mail Trucks to Keep an Eye on ‘Community Safety’

Pro Tip: If you find/see an article hidden behind a web site's paywall, do a web search on the 'headline'--you can often find the same information in an article on another website that's not behind a paywall...and that respects your privacy.
It's really frustrating to see web sites doing quality journalistic work, holding power to accountability...sitting behind a paywall. 🙁
