Downloaded my Spotify data just because I could. If I really think about it, the implosion of Twitter has the ephemeral nature of the internet weighing heavy on my mind. No online space feels safe or protected from the tantrums of a megalomaniac billionaire or global MegaCorp’s trashbin for no-longer-innovative-enough projects. I’m unsure what I’m looking through these JSON files to find. The knowledge that I have a local copy of my streaming history?...

Knowing others have this problem too, I’ve been exploring various ways to automate the switch between different contexts quickly. Most contexts have a specific Google profile associated with it. Launching Chrome and then selecting a profile is silly. Even if it were straightforward to create a link to each profile, that still costs time in mouse movement and key strokes....
