Notepad++ has a plugin that makes it the default even for things that would normally be go to Notepad.

Stupid, lazy, overworked, underskilled - it must have been easier to raise us who are adults now, pre Internet, than it is to raise our kids today. And I repeat, tech is not the solution.

Full encryption means privacy. From everyone. For everyone. Please explain to me why that should not be given to minors?

In my view, protecting children online is not inherently a tech problem. It’s a part of parenting.

Yeah, maybe try the Dodo first or something else less dangerous than a giant wolf, right?

US LEO are the real ones. In UK+EU they really aren’t murderous villains, many don’t even carry a gun.

I see what you did there 😄

I pay ~8€ per month at DreamHost, for many, many domains and databases and mailboxes. I worry that having to maintain a VPS myself is tedious and risky, and there’s no automatic backups, and there’s no tech support, and it can’t possibly be as cheap. I’m fine hosting some stuff at home, but for some things (like mailboxes) I want a real independent service I can trust.

I’m still a huge DH fan. It’s just that the latency from Europe is noticeable, and also there’s an increased risk that some self-proclaimed dicktator might do something stupid so I lose access to my account and my mailboxes. We’ve all read the horror stories of people suddenly being permabanned by Google and losing access to all their precious data. I’m trying to cover some scenarios here.

Can’t argue against that!

If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is!

50+ European here. Could you please explain in simple terms what “woke” is? I’ve seen it for years now and still don’t have any idea.

In my mind it’s a lumberjack shirted 30yo with a trimmed full beard and tattoos working as a barista. That’s how little I know of it… Sorry!

This is the $5 wrench, right?

You may refuse, and they’ll put you on the first flight back.

The novel Little Brother by Cory Doctorow comes to mind.

One PIN would log you into your real account, another PIN into a decoy account, and no indication of the other one existing.

That does not exist in the real world.

They’d be taking out the core and putting in tulip bulbs instead 🌷🌷🌷

Teams (Classic), actually.

Like US politics… 🤮

How so? What does this do?

I recently started with fish and dislike that I can’t drop bash commands into it because it parses differently. That is enough to annoy me to uninstall.
