I really hate the term “side-loading.” We shouldn’t need a word for the normal way we’ve been installing apps for the past 40 years. If tomorrow Apple decided they were going to start only letting you visit web pages they approved of, we wouldn’t call some sort of alternating system that let you see *the rest of the fucking internet* “side-paging”. We’d instead call the whole thing bullshit.

Don't worry, your login wasn't exposed, just your SSN (and we'll wait till almost the end of the page to tell you that). To make up for it, here's some free credit monitoring, maybe. https://www.getevolved.com/about/news/cybersecurity-incident -- better evolve a little more.

"Spinoza didn't have a fridge / Joan of Arc didn't have a fridge / and me and Greg don't have a fridge" --Anselm Berrigan, "The position of the planets on the human forehead" #poetry
@egallager @conservancy Yes, I think so.
Any good #poetry podcasts out there? Where people discuss poetry. Less interested in people reading poems in entirety.
Just lost another hour of my life to leading zeroes in spreadsheet cells, combined with the find and replace interface in #LibreOffice Calc that I just can't seem to wrap my head around. I still don't know why Calc was mysteriously inserting a space in front of every '0, or what I did to convince it to stop.
