Everything I want to read is checked out at the library 😖
Adulting involves so many errands 😓
I have a favor to ask: Please go to

Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
Why reliable, unchanging, boring, mechanical interfaces are important in big-computing contexts: https://medium.com/@caseorganic/why-do-we-keep-building-cars-with-touchscreens-alt-the-hidden-lives-of-touchscreens-55faf92799bf

Unreasonably annoyed by the use of "-" instead of "—" in this letter about electing to continue my insurance with COBRA.
Even more annoyed after noticing a proper "—" further down the page.
Hashtag priorities.
the "data is plural" newsletter is one of my favorite things and this week's is especially great https://tinyletter.com/data-is-plural/letters/data-is-plural-2018-05-23-edition including wikipedia citation data https://medium.com/freely-sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/what-are-the-ten-most-cited-sources-on-wikipedia-lets-ask-the-data-34071478785a and some really cool cleaned-up public transit datasets http://transportnetworks.cs.aalto.fi/about (I did not know about GTFS, a standardized format for transit feeds https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/)
Happy GDPR Panic Day!
There is a note pinned up next to the void:
"The void holds no data about you, does not wish to contact you, and does not care who you are, or what you scream."
Somehow, I find this oddly comforting. I leave, without screaming.

So, according to these allegations, #Facebook:
1. Lost lots of ad money when people abandoned computers for phones.
2. Panicked.
3. Got smaller companies hooked on access to FB users' private data (not ads but personal data).
4. Once the companies were hooked, FB forced those companies to buy expensive FB mobile ads. Companies that didn't comply had their access to user data switched off.
In short, they allege FB was using our data to control these companies.
