#introductions Hello 👋 I'm Nathaniel or "Nate" (he/him).
I'm a Visual & UI #Designer in the #SanFrancisco #BayArea. I've always been artistic & a geek so a #design career was a obvious choice.
When I'm not working I'm #gaming 🎮 on PC/console, #drawing ✏️, frequenting #indiemusic pop/rock/alt concerts & exploring NorCal with my GF.
Life long #Apple enthusiast/hipster (I liked them before they were a juggernaut).
Long time Twitter user increasingly nervous about the direction of that platform.

#StarTrekDiscovery S3 finale was better than expected.
I borderline disliked half of the season for being all melodrama or action with little nuance, and the new future tech stuff feels like nonsense without established rules.
I did really love E7 about Vulcan (aka Ni'Var) 🖖
I’m a bit late to watching #StarTrekLowerDecks but it’s sooo much smarter and more “Trek” than #StarTrekDiscovery. Quite unexpected.
When are the police going to teargas the f* out of these fascists?! #Capital https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNQRGohdW9Y

This is gross and pathetic of #Facebook https://www.macrumors.com/2020/12/16/facebook-takes-out-full-page-ads-to-attack-apple/
“Apple should let us keep harvesting ALL your data and tracking you to help small businesses 🥺”
Huge corporations like Amazon and Facebook are what compete with and hurt small businesses, not user #privacy online.
@ndaught Classic Facebook related app nightmare!
the other day I was analysing privacy policy of Whatsapp, it has a generic some data like location etc are transferred to Facebook and a lot of emphasis on E2EE. But analysing traffic (I still have to find someting like wireshark to see packet content) there is a ton of call to Facebook server for everything you do on WhatsApp.
Haha Instagram’s “App Privacy” report on the App Store update takes a lot of scrolling... Yuck 🤮
I updated to macOS 11.1 and purged Chrome yesterday. Not exactly scientific but my 16” MacBook Pro does actually seem more responsive than it’s been since I first got it…
Now I just wish I could do something about the 13 Adobe daemons.
Thanks to a birthday gift I’m finally going to retire my trusty wired 2006 Xbox 360 controller (now PC controller) 🎮 after 14’ish years of use.
