Running Win95 on a cell phone.

Damn thats wild! I remember I wished I could run Windows on a phone back in 00-ish instead of those crappy, brand-specific phone OS's. What else was I gonna use a phone for, its not like I had anyone to call. Now I can.

I subscribe to the top submissions on hacker news via RSS: https://hnrss.github.io/

It's 99% tech, but every once in a while you get an interesting post from a blog about something else. I then subscribe directly to the blogs I want to keep reading.

I've just been slowly curating my RSS feed for years. I like the high signal-to-noise ratio it provides me.

It can be amusing, I used to read there regularly too, but taking it too seriously is a bad idea.

I guess from a quick look and with the translation the nuances of the conspiracy theories mentioned might not quite be obvious. But when you read it in German it's more obvious that he's making fun of (let's say) most of them.

That guy is a security auditor of software as his main job and this blog is just his pet project on the side.

[edit] but yeah it's quite a wild ride, that's what is the appeal for many people like me.

To be fair, my family is very LGBT-heavy, and I was questioning my sexuality at one point.

Very rarely someone could argue that this occurred. I'm not a native to my area so I rely a lot on the bank logins of my brother for premium purchases, and I do so scarcely, so that much has almost never been an issue as a side effect. One thing I will say is that, if you don't like unpleasant surprises, don't sign up for anything belonging to EA. Yahoo was a bummer too.

A combination of linking all my profiles together, leaving traces of myself on each website (including selfies, intricate life details, my artstyle, vocaroo links, cryptography since I found subtle ways like this to cue I've been in certain places, etc.) being able to be quizzed on every website, and a wiki page. There was a world record wiki page (and a companion non-wiki page) where I was registered with the world record, though I'm trying to find it again, Google's algorithm change this year has thrown Google searching into a bit of uncertainty. Or it may have been deleted.

One thing that should be noted is, when it comes to world records, sometimes the definitions of a feat have no choice but to be looser than how society sees that feat. For example, we often think of web accounts as being one and the same with the person who made it and use it and always think of it equating to exactly one person, but the world record system for the world record will remind the reader that it's difficult to see an account as anything more than another inanimate object, so it moreso defines it by account co-identification than it does going to said person to have them log onto all the accounts to prove themselves (though for most websites I can do that on a good day), since there is nothing written in stone that access to something is exclusive to the person who is "seen" as owning it. It's also not one of those stereotypical world records, as in the world record system (Guinness or otherwise) might have a list of world records that everyone might think of when it comes to world records (such as deepest descent, strongest thing ever pulled, etc.) and then there are world records they have stored away somewhere (because they can) but at the same time not in the spotlight (such as person with the most penpals, person with the most As Seen On TV products, etc.), although the record definitely exists and can be proven.
