Atypical honesty.

Makes me reflect upon how metadata is itself an essential step along the path of those wishing to distance / disassociate https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/114964006839002784

Thanks for posting this.

I work in research for communication systems and building systems that don't even create metadata is hard.

After reading the quote (back then) i did some soul-searching, if i'm in the right industry.
