Posted in privacy

You may say that you don’t care about privacy but, assuredly, you do. If you
close the door when you go to the bathroom, you absolutely do care. Often,
online, keeping the bathroom door closed isn’t even an option, and it’s making
many people increasingly uncomfortable. As well it should.

OPLIN 4CAST #802: FREEDOM FROM PASSWORDS? MAYBE.

OPLIN 4CAST #800: WEB3 IS HERE. GET OFF MY LAWN.

Posted in web3
