I’d pay for a browser if it wouldn’t sell my data.

My partner introduced me to the Dutch “112” app (112 is the emergency telephone number in Europe).

I hope I never need it of course, but if I do it automatically shares my location and it allows me to chat instead of call if I would be in a situation that requires that.

Also, I really enjoy Jepster as my biking computer when cycling. The guy that built it is also very approachable when you find a problem, which is great.

And when you’re planning to get kids have a look at “Kinder”…

People like to read those stories because it gives them hope it also happens to them. Media print stories that you want to read, that’s how they make money.

Other stories people like to read: how to world is going to shit (evolutionairy important to prepare to survive), what someone that’s familiar to you did (evolutionary important to be social to work together to survive), stories about how someone else did something stupid (complaining about that toghether gives yoh a sense of belonging) and stories about how a pet cat was retrieved (tickling that instinct to care for others again).

As you can see, media is looking for stories that tickle your most basic insticts and needs, because they know that’s what you will be interested in, making you read their stories so they can make more money.

Welcome to capitalism, you are the product.

Or move to a country that has a police force where officers are properly trained and monitored.

Git, by Linus? Maybe even linux itself? Ok actually Linus might just be Steve Wozniak without an annoying Steve Jobs guy next to him, while actually being a lot bigger than Apple maybe?
