Letter (1755-11-11) to Royal Governor Robert Hunter Morris, from the Pennsylvania Assembly

This is more than just a #trade-off for high-comfort products! Be careful, it can melt your brain. #DataTracking #Metadata #PersonalData Well, I’m gonna go read a #book now. Try that - it doesn’t track you (yet). No cookies, no pop-ups, just paper, what a concept! 😂 www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

👨‍💻🚀 Ah, yes, the riveting tale of leaving behind the glamour of tech in exchange for the not-so-glamorous world of relentless aches and pains. Because clearly, trading code bugs for bodily bugs is the ultimate career upgrade. 🦶💼

As a #VeryGeneralObservation... #IF (and #IT's a #VeryBIG #IF) you #Think that a #SmartWatch will #BenefitYou and #YourHealthMatters, #Then #Great...

#However, the #TradeOff is that you have to #Share #YourHealthData with #BigTech who will #Monetise #YourData for #AsLong as you're #Dependent on #TheirTechnology... And, #BigTech will only #SupportYou for #AsLong as #IT's in their #CorporateInterests to #DoSo...

They're #NotCharities and #IT's #YourData...

#So... #HaveALittleThink #AboutThat...

Maybe if I could connect the LAN cable and monitor at the same time, this wasn't necessary. But, my monitor and router are in different rooms and neither can be moved. So the home server backup now comes with a desktop environment. #Tradeoff

"Permitting internet companies to hack the systems in which #culture is produced & circulates is a short-term #tradeoff that has proven to have devastating long-term consequences. When govs give tech companies unregulated access to our social & cultural #infrastructure,the social contract becomes biased towards their #profit. We are increasing our collective socio-technical #debt."

In all walks of life there's only so much to go around, and now Cristina Ottocento & co show that wood tiger moths that developed from larvae fed an inferior diet don't taste so bad because they cut back production of their unpleasant taste in favour of their distinctive dark deterrent markings

A light-hearted image showing two blue tits standing on a tree branch looking down at two wood tiger moths on the grass below. The blue tit on the left says, 'Which one [moth] do you think I should go for?'. The blue tit on the right says, 'It's hard to say. Apparently they taste better if they had a poor diet as larvae, but the darker ones always taste bad'.

Many tissues multitask & now Adamo &co have discovered that when tobacco hornworms fight an #infection their muscles chip in, contributing glycogen to fuel the fight, but at a cost. The insects are weaker and less able to defend themselves from attack
