I have once again been tinkering with the Privacy Policy in a probably vain effort to deal with a regulatory climate increasingly unfavorable to running any kind of website, even a purely personal blog. Since I haven’t been updating this blog in ages and its traffic is likely near-zero, it’s probably a moot point, but there will likely be further tinkering in the coming weeks. (ETA: I did again on Nov. 2, Nov. 3, Nov. 4, Nov. 5, Nov. 7, Nov. 8, Nov. 9, Nov. 10, Nov. 11, Nov. 13, Nov. 14, Nov. 15, Nov. 16, Nov. 17, Nov. 18, Nov. 19, Nov. 20, Nov. 23, Nov. 24, Nov. 25, Nov. 27, Dec. 3, Dec. 11, Dec. 19, Dec. 21, Dec. 22, Dec. 24, Dec. 25, Dec. 26, Dec. 27, and Dec. 28! I published a much more extensively revised version on December 29, with further tinkering Dec. 30, Dec. 31, Jan. 1, Jan. 2, Jan. 3, Jan. 4, Jan. 5, Jan. 6, Jan. 7, Jan. 8, Jan. 10, Jan. 12, Jan. 13, Jan. 14, Jan. 15, Jan. 16, Jan. 17, Jan. 18, Jan. 20, Jan. 21, Jan. 22, Jan. 23, Jan. 24, Jan. 26, Jan. 28, Jan. 29, Jan. 30, Jan. 31, Feb. 1, Feb. 2, Feb. 3, Feb. 4, Feb. 6, Feb. 7, Feb. 8, Feb. 10, Feb. 11, Feb. 12, Feb. 15, Feb. 16, Feb. 17, Feb. 18, Feb. 19, Feb. 20, Feb. 22, Feb. 23, Feb. 24, Feb. 25, Feb. 26, Feb. 27, Feb. 28, Feb. 29, March 2, March 3, March 4, and almost every day after that because the State of California is determined to stamp out people like me, and also free speech and common sense.)
