A ramble...

BradJShaw ⚓ has an interesting entry on internet security. I responded:

I have an old TV monitor with VHS built in. I don't have TV; don't have cable. Movies's all I use it for. However, my computer has dual cameras... hmm.

Passwords: I need to write them down in one place because I have forgotten some and it's so easy to get locked out of accounts.

"Conspiracies" more than annoy me. Yes, there may be some truth in some of them but the hysteria surrounding most of them blots that out. And I don't approve of their entertainment/horror value.

So... really... I have an old TV/VHS. I haven't watched it in ages. I have over 200 titles (I expanded by buying part of someone's collection). I should watch "Gaslight" or rewatch some of my favorites.

I haven't done the tape-over-my-camera thingy... maybe I should?

As for passwords... took forever for me to get back into one account. Recently succeeded. I do need to write them all down in one place. I tend to keep them in my journal but I've had to change a couple... and that complicates everything. Big time. I get confused between old and new passwords.

Breaking into one's own account is painful and time consuming.

My blankie... Bob is hilarious and has been writing for SCREAMS. Want a surrealistic nightmare? Visit his blog!

Conspiracies: I post my displeasure all the time on facebook. I don't believe Hillary killed anyone. I don't think every politician has bad intentions. I don't think Trump is a two-headed alien, just unsuited to be president. And that's based on what he says and does.

I fact-check as much as I can. Some of my friends wear me out by re-posting debunked false news again and again. I try to ignore them.

I'm not a purist, so I do see the negative along with the good and realize that point-of-view matters. It's just that I have an inner moral compass that I check before believing the worse of everyone and a brain that asks questions.
