  1. Stop

    Fucking

    Posting

    Links

    To

    Bluesky

    And

    Masquerading

    Them

    As

    Images.



    It’s infuriating! If you can’t be bothered to post an image, don’t post an image. But DO NOT post links pretending to be images!!!

  2. The #kerfuffle this week about #GM's practice of collecting #drivers' behavioural #data and then providing it to #data #brokers (causing some to have their insurance costs raised) brings up one of my pet #peeves.

    #Journalists, can you please stop writing "<company> shares data with <data broker>"? They're not "#sharing" anything - they're #selling it.

    "GM is selling drivers' behavioural data to LexisNexus" is a much more accurate statement. Why are you doing companies' PR for them?
