sinuses

The weather changed.

I woke up with one of worser sinus headaches. 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.

It's also colder than it has been, and rain in forecast this afternoon. Oh right, weather can cause headaches.

The podcast, btw, is "Why Is This Happening?" 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.

Irish regulators fine Meta, again

"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."

If you're wondering "why Ireland", Meta's European operation is based in Ireland, so Ireland is on point to enforce European Union law.
