Okay, I normally don’t really pay close attention to app update sizes…
… but why the HECK is the Microsoft Outlook for macOS update 974 MB, and the installed size over 2 GB? For comparison, Thunderbird is a 124 MB download, with a 362 MB installed size.

I realized today that I’ve been enjoying the Ivory experience on my phone to such an extent that I’m only really viewing Mastodon in the browser once or twice a week now.
To put that in perspective, in the years that I’ve been on Mastodon, I’ve never stuck with an app for more than a few days, and have always just used the web client. Huge props to the team at Tapbots for their work so far!
… And I just got into the Ivory Desktop Beta! 🎉

A brief note before I begin: instead of walking through the highlights of my year in sequence (as if on a timeline), I’ve decided this year to talk about some major changes I’ve made/implemented over the past year.

Just completed reading my 30th book in 2022, Attack Surface by Cory Doctorow. 📖
It’s been a few years since I read any books related to cybersecurity, fiction or otherwise. I probably should more often, if for no other reason than to keep myself from becoming too lax by not thinking of the implications of the decisions I make, and/or the tools I use.
