My brother fell for a phishing attack. Usual scam — “change password immediately”. Went to fake site, “changed password”. Happily was for our 92yo Dad and my bro used the wrong “old” pw. Civilians are so screwed.

Humans are compelled to create non-random stories about their worlds. Non-random suffering implies a cruel universe, so we create lies of guilt and justice. Really, an indifferent universe of random suffering and certain death is cheerier.

The nvAlt/Simplenote combo is dying, and Simplenote alone is too risky (no exit strategy, dying product). I’d rather not add Dropbox/Dropsy to nValt — I’m leaving services, not adding. nvAlt is ailing anyway. iCloud is untrustworthy…
