Funny how everyone thinks everyone uses Whatsapp. Almost as if it is a default messaging app for phones. Pisses me off. I have a hard time trying to explain to people that I do not use it, I use Signal. They look at me as if I am a weirdo. But fuck them :D - if anyone wants to contact me, use Signal. It is a shame that an ad company, facebook who owns whatsapp, has become the default messaging platform for most humans on this planet.

But well, ad companies like google, tiktok, and the like are used for all sorts of online means by everyone.

Sad. And we should not accept this situation.

When contacting someone I use SMS/RCS, and I'm simply not responding to Whatsapp direct messages, or maybe one day later. This sends a strong message (pun).

But I still need Whatsapp, and Fb Messenger above all, because groups are there, less known friends are there, and because sometimes conversations start with Facebook stories.

For me, the problem is not the advertising companies, but the state. They have a specific interest in the location of my body and my activities there. Simply share articles with WhatsApp users about how the state murders people with metadata, for example via air strikes or drones.

I have added more photos to my gallery :) tiotrom.com/photos/

Here are a few of them:

While kayaking I took this photo. I love how the rock looks like floating on the water.

Holding a 20 million years old spider:

This is the wonderful Moon and the stars:

And the wonderful Sun:

All of the photos are made with a Pixel 4a. And very little tweaks.

Rocky Branch Bluegrass Band


Our local independent bookstore, Morgenstern's, celebrated its 3rd "birthday" yesterday with a day full of fun. We stopped by yesterday evening to hear the Rocky Branch Bluegrass Band perform.

This birthday band event looks like fun. Long live independent bookstores!

Yes - yay for independent bookstores! Ron Charles is a big proponent of them. Here in Harpenden, we have Harpenden Books.
