RT @reykjaviking@twitter.com: @dhh@twitter.com Completely agree. I’ve lived in a Nordic for eight years and it’s completely opened my eyes to how we’re taught falsities in the US: that were the best country, that democratic socialism is bad, that a model that exploits people is good, etc. the US has it backwards in many ways
Norwegian Consumer Council finds #Facebook and #Google #privacy controls ‘unethical’ and misleading. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-44642569

It's happening. I'm outta there in October. As a private person and as a content creator this was the best choice I could make.
But pls, do not cheer for me right now. I still have Instagram. So that's like we got rid of the plague but there's still cholera...
What still keeps me on IG gets a post of it's own.
Facebook and Google use 'dark patterns' around privacy settings, report says - BBC News - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-44642569
In my blog: If you thought #Facebook wasn’t creepy enough http://dlvr.it/QZ67C8
Man who blew the whistle on the treatment of drivers by an #Amazon subcontractor lost his job. (They were working 17 hours a day.) He’s now suing his old firm for constructive dismissal. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/amazon-whistleblower-sue-delivery-bosses-12826852
More from Epure, currently on sale at Cazar.
Seems like a fair response to an ASB questionnaire.
The Travel & Leisure magazines I had for sale on Trade Me and Ebay are off the market. A friend wanted them and they are now at a new home in Grafton, Auckland.

More creepy snooping by #Facebook in its latest patent filing: signals hidden in TV broadcasts will activate the mic on your phone, the recording sent to Facebook. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jun/28/facebook-patent-phone-mic-listening-tv-shows #deletefacebook
Hat tip to Keith Adams.
Wow, it's like, "How can we make our stuff worse and less user friendly every day" over there, @jackyan ...
FACEBOOK USERS – HERE IS AN ISSUE TO BE AWARE OF…
Why you should never use #Google Cloud (also in the ‘I told you so’ files, as this is a very familiar story to what I encountered on behalf of my friend Vincent in 2009). https://medium.com/@serverpunch/why-you-should-not-use-google-cloud-75ea2aec00de
How they’re building the bridge at Cannons Creek, with phase one of the assembly commencing next month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k7jI0qGxx4
Modern Britain, 2018. Something that happened to a Filipina friend of mine while visiting, as reported by her partner. https://www.facebook.com/nigel.godfrey.5/posts/1755118217906970 #racism #racistaf
Anyone want a heckload of bags? Canvas, paper, plastic—lots have high-end brands on them (Chanel, Boucheron, BMW) and some with not so high-end (Primark, Duty Free Stores). Saved them up over the years to reuse, but haven’t been able to get through them quickly enough!
Shame that withdrawing an auction from #TradeMe costs money, even something with only views and no bids or enquiries. (Managed to gift the item privately to someone who said she wanted it.)
Doesn’t cost anything on Ebay to end an auction.
Not easy to find a map to go with the Transmission Gully fly-through video, but here it is, after some digging on the NZTA website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaGJs-du6gk
