Took daily meds (which includes allergy meds) with water and realized I felt dehydrated; drank more water. Coffee and breakfast helped more as the meds really kicked in. Now I'm willing to listen to quiet talking podcast. <br /><br />It's also colder than it has been, and rain in forecast this afternoon. Oh right, weather can cause headaches. <br /><br />&nbsp; ---<br /><br />The podcast, btw, is &quot;Why Is This Happening?&quot; hosted by Chris Hayes. This episode is Chris interviewing Signal CEO Meredith Whittaker. I'm intrigued to learn Signal is a non-profit that specifically does not sell advertising, and so has no reason to track a lot of data that other apps track as a matter of course.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jenk&ditemid=1026667" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://jenk.dreamwidth.org/1026667.html apps health tech public 2 https://jenk.dreamwidth.org/1020762.html Fri, 02 Dec 2022 18:12:20 GMT https://jenk.dreamwidth.org/1020762.html "It's the third time this year that Meta has been fined by regulators there, potentially setting a standard for how Europe’s GDPR is applied."<br /><br />If you're wondering "why Ireland", Meta's European operation is based in Ireland, so Ireland is on point to enforce European Union law. <br /><br />Source: <a href="https://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace-tech/irish-regulators-fine-meta-for-not-safeguarding-user-data/">https://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace-tech/irish-regulators-fine-meta-for-not-safeguarding-user-data/</a><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jenk&ditemid=1020762" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://jenk.dreamwidth.org/1020762.html tech public 0
