In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

"Okay so it's basically Twitter, but with like... Facebook features..." Is literally a joke I have made about annoying app ideas people have when you tell them you're a software developer.

I have made this joke a few times, because it killed every time.

I'm stunned. Out of material, and stunned.

Had a dude tell me he wanted to 'disrupt' social media by creating a LinkedIn alternative that allowed posting videos.

He just needed a couple 'techies' like me to get it off the ground.

Haven't heard from him in a while. I hope rehab worked out for him.
