I’ve been spending a lot of day so far continuing to piece together my writing bits for next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also signed up for a ProtonMail<\/a> account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing what’s happened over the past two weeks with tech editing make me feel very uncomfortable with what’s going on with “Big Tech” lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twitter suspended the New York Post’s account for posting a story that was potentially-damaging to the Biden campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking right now, just after 1300EDT on Saturday the 24th of October, and they’re still suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So start your own Twitter. Start your own Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t have the resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also don’t have the resources to block everything forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tagline of this site is Everything Gets Deleted Eventully.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it does. But everything can come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Search your own name in one of the search engines. and enter your name in quotation marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bing shows me, as I’m signed-in to Office 365 with my corporate account; had to do my timecard. DDG doesn’t show me on the first page of results. The totes-didn’t-used-to-be-evil engine doesn’t show me on the front page, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five years ago, that wouldn’t have been the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m listening to the clearly-Canadian Texas Senator, Ted Cruz who’s talking about this on his podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But by putting things somewhere outside the control of the tech oligopoly, and the US government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It used to be that if you searched for me, you’d find things like interviews about Slashdot’s<\/a> tenth anniversary in the NYT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even with the mass deletions, I do refuse to be permanently-erased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m probably not going to have a legacy through posterity, but somebody, somewhere, might find what I’ve created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it’s of any value to anyone is unimportant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I write. It’s what I do. It’s something I still can do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
