Even if I don't want to throw my reddit account away as such, it's hard for me to imagine ever thinking I'd care more about its security than I would about not giving Reddit my phone contact!

It's a great metaphor nicely phrased, but perhaps we should add "with the 'sensitive' parts airbrushed out" in reference to the wholesale bowdlerisation applied after the compression?

Kind of my point, roombas need code for things like how to cross a road, what a bruised apple looks like. Humans have this in well, wetware I guess :)

Out of many woodturning channels, my favourites are probably Richard Raffan[1] and Phil Anderson[2], though they are almost polar opposites in some respects. I don't do metalwork, but have often appreciated Clickspring's videos[3]

This is fascinating! It would be a neat party trick to be able to elicit some of these non-sequitur responses from ChatGPT, but I guess there's no way to access the anomalous tokens in that particular case, short of hands-on access to

If I understand correctly, these only compartmentalise cookies and browsing history, whereas full profiles (via the -ProfileManager switch in Firefox) compartmentalise the whole browser config (add-ons, permissions, etc.) as well, which I t
