That Most Intimate of Thrones

The most recent edition of Shed Letters is available!

I fell down a rabbit hole about the ethical, legal, and existential issues (and potential!) of smart toilets and now I'm making it everyone's problem! Please I stayed up too late researching this. Please read it.

(the pic of Scribble is there because I start almost all my newsletters with pictures of my cats. Because obviously why wouldn't I?)

You Will Commit and Like It

Tumblr: Rolls out a Twitter clone dashboard and many other changes. Despite negative user feedback, Tumblr replies it is "committed" and tells users to get used to the changes. On Aug 31 Tumblr locked a large horror pirate clown on the dash - a new low.

Twitter/X: Musk proclaims future plans for users to make voice and video calls on the platform. Also updated its privacy policies that will allow for the collection of biometric data and employment history, among other information. The biodata collection is unspecified and claims to be for user's "safety, security and identification".

Amazon: CEO tells employees “If you can’t disagree and commit, it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon,”. Corporate employees must return to the office at least 3 days per week.

Biometric identification in Baltimore, Maryland, plays a crucial role in enhancing security and ensuring accurate identity verification. Fingerprinting is one of the most reliable forms of biometric identification used by law enforcement agencies. This method captures unique patterns in an individual’s fingerprints, creating a digital record that can be compared against existing databases. The accuracy and efficiency of biometric systems have made them a preferred choice for police clearance processes.

How to Keep Your Online Assets Safe in 2024

By Oskar Rutten, founder and CEO at Zuna Over the last decade, digital assets like cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have emerged as new means of investment and wealth.  In fact, data from the past 12 months shows that almost one third of Australians own or have owned cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is a form of currency, not typically issued by governments, that only exists online…

Who would've seen FitBit/Google lying to you about your biometric data being used without your consent coming? /s

my biggest issue with “new normal” type strategies to handling crisis is that no one is going to actually do what they need to do to adapt they’re just going to keep doing the same thing they were already doing and pretend the problem doesn’t exist because it’s more beneficial to corporate interests if we do so. and as we all know we are NOT immune to propaganda

Not an anime analysis but fic idea:

Every character that reached Permet score 4 and up, weither they died while linked up or not, created an echo or a copy of their conciousness that exists within the data stream of Permet. This latent data, which is normally unobservable by operating systems, could perhaps be uploaded/carried from machine to machine as long as there is permet and a link present to carry said data.

What I'm trying to say is digital Daddy Nadim being found and woken up by Suletta within a discarded component of the Aerial after a copy of his data was uploaded during the prologue after he used Permet score 4 and saw the digital sphere. (Cause OG Aerial is a refitted Lfrith ala episode 18)

Now also include some detective of both Nadim and Suletta working together trying to figure out Eri and Elnora's plans.

Also the reason why Eri hadn't found Nadim within Aerial is because Eri was a part of the main OS and Nadim was dormant/fragmented. Weak in comparison to her who likely reached a way higher score and integration.

Like Eri this is the real Nadim, but potentially other characters who died from Permet data storms may be real too, such as Sophie. Potentially a ghostly copy of Elan 4 is around somewhere also but this one is really a copy because it might be more limited and because Elan 4 didn't actually die from a data storm like Nadim and Sophie.

I just want good dad Nadim to give Suletta some comfort in these trying times, damn it!

i walked into a whole foods, saw a cheese pizza priced for 17 dollars, then saw my brother pay for his groceries with something called 'amazon one' where he sticks out his hand and it scans his palm and fingerprints to pay.

As weird of a concept pokemon sleep is, the presentation is spot on. The lil mons in their different poses, the chill but still nice music, food, the generally slower feel- plus both the new Professor and Snorlax waving you a goodbye before going to sleep are very adorable.

Also, (despite what some people claim) the game actually doesn’t sell your biometric data! So that’s pretty neat!
