2,224 words on the new book tonight. Our heroes have been driven into a swamp and it's not going to be a fun time for them! I'm over 42k words, now, which I think is a little over a third done! Not bad for three weeks. ππͺΆ

No, holding someone's identity to ransom for 'good behavior' is never okay.
This includes deciding not to use their chosen name. Even an online one if it's the one they go by in their community.

Anyone dumb like me and on the iOS 14 Beta?
Of course Iβm an idiot and running it on my only device
Political rant
The 2020 election cycle has shown us that easy access to the whole of human knowledge doesn't make us more intelligent.

Iβm not a developer. But I understand Apple creating a walled garden with its ecosystem. My mom has an Android phone and Iβm having to constantly remove malware and spyware from the βlegitimateβ apps sheβs gets from the Play store.

Don't try to break into accounts of someone who studied Cybersecurity.
