People worry about what their kids are doing online. They should probably be more worried about what their elderly parents are doing online.

Seriously. When was the last time you heard someone suggested installing (legal) spyware (with consent) on your parents' computer, or adding your number to receive SMS when they make a purchase or send money?

Maybe people already do this. But I never hear anyone talk about it. Let's talk about it.

@briankrebs I do kind of react to the age thing, being nearly 80 and still the go to tech support guy for my friends and family. I think it's more a lack of knowledge and/or facility at any age.

@briankrebs I agree, and not just seniors. There are local volunteer programs in some places but this should be a government funded program.

I remember the first time my partner noticed players with their gloves covering their mouths when conferring with the pitcher and thought it was because of shyness or not wanting to rudely breathe on each other. @baseball

@pseudonymsupreme @baseball Desclafani can be a solid #4 starter if he can stay healthy. Still like this from my Giants fan POV, though.

Huh. It just occurred to me that not everyone reads all the time. Like, there’s a bunch of people without books they’re reading right now. That concept is so bizarre to me. I’ve always got several books going. Ebooks, audiobooks and physical copies of books. If you don’t read anymore, when and why did you stop? No judgement. I’m genuinely curious. @bookstodon

@pseudonymsupreme @bookstodon Too much good video content available and laziness. But I recently got on a roll with audio books. Notably Atwood’s Maddaddam trilogy and now Lou Cixin’s Three Body Problem trilogy.
