@foone This doesn’t look like Sunlan in NE Portland (Oregon), but that’s a great shop, too. And you can test any bulb. 😅

#California’s state agency CalPrivacy is building a new Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP 😂).Starting Jan 1, 2026, you’ll be able to submit a request through DROP, asking data brokers to delete your data. Starting Aug 1, 2026, data brokers are required to start regularly processing consumer deletion requests, reducing how many times your data can be bought, sold, and pop-up on sketchy websites. 😎This is exciting, as it’s a FREE service for California residents, similar to existing, paid services like Optery, Incogni, Privacy Bee, DeleteMe, and EasyOptOuts.#privacy #data #government https://privacy.ca.gov/data-brokers/

@kzeta @futurebird Don’t beat yourself up about it. We all had a Yahoo! account at some point, too. We couldn’t have known then what we know now. 😜

@futurebird 1000%!I totally agree AND will add there are so many other reasons we ask questions. Often it’s to connect (and be seen, be validated, and yes to not be alone). Years ago I was obsessed with the odd nature of Yahoo Answers. Like Stack Overflow, it was just people asking questions but obviously for a different audience and not technical questions. I found the structure absurd (in a performance art way, maybe that’s absurd-ist) because the questioner was responsible for rating the answers. The person who, by definition didn’t know the answer, was judging the “validity” of the respondents (who had no greater qualifications or knowledge, necessarily — it’s all randos anyway). I did a whole project about it because the dynamic was so funny/odd/tragic to me:https://scottmurray.org/work/questions-and-answers

@futurebird Wow! A touchy bunch. You already have a ton of replies here AND know what you’re doing so you don’t need me (random internet person but former professor with lots of experience teaching anxious undergrads coding) to chime in. FWIW when teaching I tried to normalize “errors” even by referring to them as “messages” because calling it an error feels like “oh I already did something wrong”. But “errors” only happen because computers are truly not very smart; an error is when it can’t understand our instructions, what we are telling it to do. The human can’t make an “error”; only the computer does. Anyway I’d also shorten the cycle between coding and compiling - having students re-compile/run the program after every tiny little change shortens the feedback loop, normalizes “errors” (like exposure therapy), and makes troubleshooting easier. Again you don’t need my input at all — thanks for the flashback to my teaching days! 😅Best of luck with this group! ❤️
