there's another internet, buried under this internet, and it also sucks
Bandcamp's new Playlists seem to be Bandcamp's old Playlists, with a new sharing feature. Odd that their new announcement page leads with all the things you can't do with them: https://bandcamp.com/about_playlists; also a bit perplexing that you still can't access them on web at all, mobile app only 🤦♂️ #music

Interesting story about Google publishing someone's phone number when they gave it to Google for account verification/security:

Reminds me of the time a company I worked for (AFAIK) accidentally used phone numbers obtained the same way for ad targeting and got fined $150M. Scaled by company size, the equivalent find would be ~$10B.

We got a new home heating system installed this spring - a massive investment. During the initial pre-sales conversations I made it 100% clear that any system that required an internet connection was not acceptable in any way.
When the work was done the installation tech informed us that for the system to function it needed to be connected to the internet. I let him know this wasn't what we were told up front, and that we were unwilling to compromise.
"I'm sorry sir, I know this system inside and out, and it doesn't work without a connection. I don't know what you were told, but this is what we need to do next."
"In that case I would like you to leave my house while I call your company and my lawyer."
A few hours and three escalations later, the system is working just fine without any internet connection.
FFS, it shouldn't be this hard. The stove, the fridge, the fucking thermostats. No. Absolutely fucking not.

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
