Me, changing my entire identity and escaping to a new life.

@NanoRaptor it even *looks* annoyed by its existence.

@clacke accepted argument 😅 (mostly my floppies were scattered all over a desk).

@NanoRaptor what happened to the ones with a Touch Bar on the edge? They were a rare beast.

@NanoRaptor hated both for the fact that the display was upside-down 😡

@HistoPol @Laberpferd please untag me from your replies, or start your own conversation. Thanks.

WhatsApp is (in bad faith) notifying EU users of changes to their privacy policy regarding “legitimate interest” under GDPR.

Why bad faith?

1. The FAQ page about the changes requires you to accept cookies, and the “Learn more” button only tells you how to disable cookies entirely in browser settings.

2. The option to object to “legitimate interest” processing requires you to give your email along with your WhatsApp number so they can “get in touch”.

A reminder (or perhaps new knowledge) for you that the announcements on Berlin’s public transport are voiced by Philippa Jarke, a trans woman.

“The brief was, after all, to find something that is not necessarily immediately recognizable as male or female on first hearing. So somewhere in between. For me as a Berliner, it is of course an honour to fulfill an official part of this city.”

I really need to tidy and rearrange my desk.

PSA: if you are the kind of person who gets your kicks from harassing and abusing people in direct messages, please make yourself known so I can block your cowardly ass.

Too many people are being chased off this service by people like you. It’s shitty behaviour even for Twitter and consequently even more reprehensible here.

The rest of you: keep being lovely.
