Yeah.

There’s waaay worse things you can catch.

Yeah this is me. It’s been just perfect for many years now.

Yeah well, it wasn’t intended to be all positive.

I migrated all my stuff (small business) to mxroute because I couldn’t justify the cost for fasmtail.

It’s the server that matters, not the domain.

If you do this it’s good to use something like mxroute as an SMTP server so deliverability is their problem.

Can I ask what client you prefer?

I dislike thunderbird and roundcube.

I was with fastmail for more than a decade.

They’re the best platform.

Their spam protection is so-so. Not as good as Gmail but better than some others.

Their pricing is egregiously expensive.

Their tech support is painfully slow for anything above chatGPT level.

Click the column header to select the column, then click and drag the selected cells to wherever you want.

Note that dragging cells in this way is the same as copy & paste, so it will not insert the column at your destination and move the existing columns along, it will leave a gap where you dragged it from and overwrite the column wherever you leave it.

My explanation is better:

There’s three doors, of which one is the winner.

First, pick a door to exclude. You have a 66% chance of correctly excluding a non-winning door.

Next, Monty excludes a non- winning door with certainty.

Finally, open the remaining door and take the prize!

This is a common argument in our house.

Hah! Me too, exactly this.

It’s not so much about profiting from the situation but maximising your options.

You don’t want to cash in your 401k and buy gold, but if you have some investments then buying physical gold with 5% or 10% is not a terrible idea.

In a holocaust type situation an ounce of gold in the right palm at the right time could buy passage for an entire family.

We may not have the gold standard anymore but I can assure you that gold remains a stable store of wealth.

It’s also not going to be easier to buy.

Banks are much more reluctant to loan, jobs are harder to keep.

Yeah what the fuck is with that.

It’s a very twitter centric view of the web. If you’re not on xitter you’re “shutting out a significant portion”.

The thing is, it’s not simply that Musk has an ideology that is disparate from my own, he has an agenda that is egregiously contrary to the stated values of the Debian project.

You’d consult with the community over a new logo or blog layout maybe, but on whether to assist Musk in his far right agenda there’s not really any decision to be made honestly.

Oh but look at this deleted draft PR release that was committed that doesn’t really say anything spicy and was later sharpened up to reflect the intentions of the author.

You might be right about Googles agreement with Mozilla. I had assumed it would be based on the number of searches performed with a mozilla user agent but that’s just a guess.

I’m not sure why exactly but I just feel very uncomfortable with the idea of donating to Mozilla. I absolutely believe in the importance of Firefox’ existance, and if I felt I was contributing to that then I would donate. I think with the situation as it is making a donation would feel a bit like voting - my own contribution isn’t going to effect the outcome, and I don’t really agree with mozilla’s behavior anyway.

On the other hand, if Mozilla declared that they were going to spin off a separate org exclusively to develop and maintain firefox, and would have no ongoing relationship with google nor advertising of any kind, would focus on privacy, and were going to survive entirely on subscriptions, I feel like that’s something I could get behind and feel happy to contribute.

I’m not really sure what you’re getting at?

I understand that my circumstances are unusual but I would absolutely pay $20 a month without a moment’s hesitation.

I would pay $50, but I’d really have to believe in the project.

It’s worth noting that presently mozilla earns $0 from my not using google, and not seeing sponsored tabs.

That’s daft.

Develop wherever you like the dev tools, test everywhere.

I dabble in web development.

I use ungoogled chromium for that. LibreWolf for most other things.

But when gen z gets old they won’t be self interested like every other generation since forever /s.

I agree that things are bleak. I also try to focus on practical, local things on which I can have a positive impact.

I’d like to think that some things will get better, and others will be less bleak.

Climate change is occurring quicker than we had hoped, but we are making progress towards mitigating the worst effects, even of that progress is slower than we had hoped.
