I updated and deployed the HTML for my personal website from my iPad. It was possible but extremely frustrating and inefficient, plus it depended on my having already setup Github Actions for my local repo, which I'm not sure I could

The solution to both of those problems is to not use Instagram, which isn't a great solution, but at least it's possible. However, if Instagram is collecting browsing history and location data on me from some other source, it&#x27

Why in the world would you buy a $1M house in Chicago? $500k would get you a decent house in a decent neighborhood that would be more than big enough for even a four-person family. A $1mm house is an absolute luxury house almost everywhere

Obviously I don't condone insider trading, but it's nice to see someone go all in and make some real money. If you're going to risk jail time, you might as well do it for life-changing amounts of cash. Contrast this with Step

Granting a random app access to all your private data after they request access is very different than "There is nothing that actually prevents an installed app from collecting all your data."

I do most of the same things. My "randomized emails" all use my personal domain, so it's trivial for people who have access to the email to know it's me, but probably not trivial for dumb ad networks to link my accounts
