Oh, there's yet another abbreviation to add to the alphabet soup of #email delivery? The #BIMI record?
Please stop, adding more and more records really isn't going to solve the delivery problem.
The problem is #Outlook, #GMail and the other big players that block delivery for arbitrary reasons.

All of #Microsoft down!
I'm sorry for those that have to investigate and fix, but personally, it just made my morning a lot better.

OMG! Did you know that #Firefox has a #Snake game built in?
- Open a new tab
- Enter any calculation that adds up to *150* in the address bar
- Click on the Firefox/Librewolf icon next to the answer
Play snake!

Okay, it looks like I'll have to update everything to use #Reaction instead of #Fail2Ban....

#Google, #Meta, and #TikTok sue #California over the social media law that is designed to hold the providers accountable, instead of removing the children...

Who's surprised?

Hey, @ptoothfish , it's your birthmonth?
Mine too! Today even!

43 😒

Who in their right mind would recommend fucking #Outlook to anyone?!
And why are they so desperate for my approval? (They're not getting it)

I just stumbled upon @joel their #laptop #stickers article, and I realised that despite my love for stickers, I don't recall ever saying anything about them!
So, here it is, my laptop stickers:

Anyone have any opinion about #Migadu?

So, with #Proton going all in on #genAI, with the CEO being a massive dungface as well, if the reports are to believed, I'm once again looking at moving my #Email.
I wasn't exactly happy with Proton, but it was well... survivable. The CEO's nazi comments were making me unhappy, but you know, effort of moving e-mail and stuff.
So, I need advice for a new e-mail provider.
The answer is VERY MUCH NOT "just self-host"!
Requirements:
- No nazis
- No #AI, or at the extremely very least a policy that attempts to prevent it
- No US hosted, preferably #EU, #APAC or #Africa
- Encryption supported OOTB
- IMAP & SMTP, one way or another, support for Thunderbird
- I'm not bothered about calendar/contacts
Please #help?

Hey #AotearoaNZ friends. There is a cold call doing the rounds about some #RedHat #Webinar. It sounds very phishy, and RedHat doesn't sound like a company that would do cold-calling much.
It's an Auckland 09 phone number

How is #Windows such a piece of shit #OS, yet, has the biggest slice of the OS market?

Bought a pair of Loop Engage 2 Plus earplugs.
🤞 it'll help me in busy/crowded situations to get some calm.
They won't arrive in time for #KawaiiCon, I'm afraid, but I'll see how it goes.

The #PHP vulnerabilities disclosed today/yesterday, brought some things to the surface I'd really wish I didn't have to read ever again.
It threw me back to 2015/2016. Thanks to @aurynn.
And, it bears repeating. JUST SHUT UP.

We should go back to #PHP 4

What is that #iOS "smart" internet connection setting again, that burns through your data to bypass #adblock on a #wifi?

Holy crap. Today I learned about a #Dutch phone provider, that "records its users and has it analyzed through #Claude"
But now, they're also going to record the person that is being called. WITHOUT INFORMING THEM.
And, according to the CEO, this is within the legal boundaries of Dutch law.
WTF?
If that's not a violation of trust, I don't know.
Fucking #AI being shoved into every possible corner of our lives

Every time I work from home, I'm so tempted to just use my own laptop and #Linux to do things, but I also don't want to put work stuff on my personal laptop

As predicted. #BitWarden changes to a commercial license. A start of #Enshittification, and selling-out.
