Deactivated Instagram, Threads, and, after nearly 20 years, FB. After I’m confident of my backups they’ll be deleted. I’ll be weening myself off Messenger and WhatsApp next.

@ronsexsmith.bsky.social's new album is giving me all the feels. My uncle unexpectedly passed a few weeks ago, and the song House of Love feels like the perfect song to encapsulate my memory of him. Ron, you've done it again! See you in April in Melbourne. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxvd...

I wish Apple would ban @jamfsoftware.bsky.social from being installed on its systems. Jamf basically allows Macs to function like PC's in 2004, restarting randomly and without notice. Also, the MS Word update is not THAT urgent.
