Haven't linkblogged for months, and the little blogging I've done has
mostly been about and on Gemini. Very busy summer. Here are a few recent
links in no particular order, without much commentary.

### [How Many Books does Richland SC Library Recycle, and Where Do They Go?][0]

I love my library, and you have to get rid of some books somehow in
order as new books come in. But it's disheartening to hear that the old
books that no one buys at the annual Friends of the Library book sale
probably end up in the landfill.

### [Tarot for Hackers][1]

Christine Dodrill outlines a technique for using tarot cards in
debugging. I really want to try this, especially when junior developers
come to me for help. I'd feel like Dale Cooper taking the Twin Peaks
Sheriff's Department on a rock-throwing tour of Tibet.

### [W3 TAG Ethical Web Principles][2]

This is pretty good, but none of it is compatible with surveillance
capitalism, so it's pretty much just empty words.

### [Proposal: Optional Safe Web Mode][3]

A proposal for an optional mode for web browsers to implement that is
safe by default. References my "Gopher and the Lynx Web" article.
