+Six Fixes:
+
+- Right To Download
+- Right To Delete
+- Limits on Behavioral Data Collection
+- Right to Go Offline
+- Ban on Third-Party Advertising
+- Privacy Promises
+
+Later rephrased:
+
+1. The right to examine, download, and delete any data stored about you. A time horizon (weeks, not years) for how long companies are allowed to retain behavioral data (any data about yourself you didn’t explicitly provide).
+
+2. A prohibition on selling or transferring collections of behavioral data, whether outright, in an acquisition, or in bankruptcy.
+
+3. A ban on third-party advertising. Ad networks can still exist, but they can only serve ads targeted against page content, and they cannot retain information between ad requests.
+
+4. An off switch on Internet-connected devices, that physically cuts their access to the network. This switch should not prevent the device from functioning offline. You should be able to stop the malware on your refrigerator from posting racist rants on Twitter while still keeping your beer cold.
+
+5. A legal framework for offering certain privacy guarantees, with enforceable consequences. Think of this as a Creative Commons for privacy. If they can be sure data won’t be retained, users will be willing to experiment with many technologies that would pose too big a privacy risk in the current reality.

+dpt-rp1-py
+============
+
+To get PDF uploading to work from Debian with my Quaderno digital reader, I
+installed the `dpt-rp1-py` package for just my user (not system wide):
+
+ pip3 install --user dpt-rp1-py
+
+Before running commands, ensure device and laptop are on the same local
+network. Then, run things like:
+
+ dptrp1 list-folders
+
+or, to upload files:
+
+ dptrp1 upload thing.pdf Document/Papers/
+
+To upload everything in a directory newer than a given date:
+
+ find . -iname '*.pdf' -type f -newermt "2022-05-01" | parallel dptrp1 upload {} Document/Papers/
+
+TODO: sometimes this fails for some fraction of the documents? need a delay?

+## Development Environment with nvm
+
+Use `nvm` to install nodejs, npm, etc, separately from operating system
+packages.
+
+`nvm` asks you to do a curl/bash thing, but you can just download the `nvm.sh`
+script, put it in `~/.nvm/nvm.sh`, and source it from `~/.bashrc`. Or do a git
+checkout there or something?
+
+ mkdir -p ~/.nvm
+ cd ~/.nvm

+ echo 'export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm' >> ~/.bash_profile

+ echo '[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"' >> ~/.bash_profile
+
+Then for a specific project, figure out a recent version of node and then:
+
+ cd $PROJECTDIR
+ nvm install 18
+ nvm use 18
+
+ npm install --global yarn

+How to sign a PDF on Linux
+===========================
+
+First, you need a transparent image of signature, eg as a PNG file. Android
+works pretty well for this: you can sign a blank piece of paper, take a
+photo, and clean it up. Then can use gimp if necessary to remove background
+and make a transparent image.
+
+NOTE: if text import isn't working, need to go in preferences and change input
+type (!), see also <https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/2035>.
+
+To edit PDFs, use `xournalpp`, which is a GUI tool packaged in Debian. You
+can add text and paste images, then export as PDF.
