A TV reality show like Pimp My Ride but it's called Blur My Background. People who aren't capable of clicking the "Blur My Background" option in Zoom are visited by zany, somewhat dramatic experts who spend a day and $50,000 to physically blur the space behind the person on Zoom calls. They might paint the person's stuff, set up elaborate diffusion lenses on tripods, place translucent film in strategic locations, or maybe just dab microdoses of vaseline on the person's webcam.
Pretty sure this would be a huge hit.

Ok #toyota in these days of spam-everything from all directions, it is SO NOT COOL to be constantly calling my cell from some random phone number to leave me apparently official voice mails that my car is due for service. Do you not get why that's not a good idea? #BadBusiness #StupidIdeas #stopCallingMe

#security #shellScripts #StupidIdeas I see a lot of newer "installers" for various projects like Rust, Homebrew, Oh-my-zsh, and more, asking people simply run a shell script from the internet. And I'm not thrilled with this; I know packages have issues too. However, a shell script seems like a prime target for malware. Can we please return to more sensible installers? PLEASE? Are we just going to default to the most insecure way of delivering software? When did this become "Normal"...

The thesis of #Bitcoin was to avoid the regulated financial institutions. When you have to pay money, you call your banker. When you have to pay a LOT of money, you call your lawyer.
I don’t make the rules 🤷🏻♂️
