Yet another colossal American self-sabotage for the good of the fossil fuel industry.

It isn't much to ask for a game built for one operating system to work perfectly on a completely, fundamentally different operating system, by means of the vastly complex and enormous work of thousands of people, which they donated to the world so that you can access it for free?

Sometimes, I ask OpenClaw to...

This person should not be trusted with anything.

The fact that PG&E, a monopolistic utility, is a private for-profit company is a fucking travesty. Their intentional criminal negligence has killed hundreds of people and poisoned thousands more for the profit of their shareholders while simultaneously and perpetually worsening things for their customers. It should have been nationalized and its entire C-suite and board guillotined decades ago.

The first secession also led to the creation of the office of Tribune of the Plebs, an important and fairly powerful check on patrician power over the next few centuries.

A very rough sysadmin equivalent in my mind is infrastructure-as-code, like having a base system configuration pushed out via ansible that manual configurations can be made on top of. Saves all the preparatory busywork, equivalent to chopping your mirepoix in advance.

This quote from your link on the main client e2ee issues captures the zeitgeist of modern tech so beautifully:

Please keep in mind that this website is a furry blog, first and foremost, that sometimes happens to cover security and cryptography topics.

I'm reading this post as a well-intended PSA for those who might not know that their computers keep logs, and I appreciate the poster for that. But also I got a laugh from it sounding kind of like this:

If you want to avoid providing incriminating evidence during a possible police interrogation, you must disable your brain's long-term memory functions by lobotomizing yourself

Ye Vagabonds are on a US tour right now, and I'm so excited to see them I've been listening to them nonstop. A lovely Irish folk music duo of two brothers.

Your email is the root of your digital identity, and pretty much everything in your digital life is tied to it. If your email is provided by Big Email, they own your digital identity and it exists at their whim, with no recourse if it gets taken away, compromised, or abused.

If you own your domain and pay for mail hosting, you can at least move your email between providers if something goes wrong, and have some recourse with those providers since you're a customer instead of a product.
