Okay I have to ask: if you don't know someone's gender, but you can't call them uh, they/them, then what in the fuck are you supposed to do exactly?

Like, I fully get doing it in person can be being a dick, but on the internet where you absolutely do not know unless someone tells you?

That's the dumbest thing I've heard today, and I was on reddit earlier.

As with all things email, they probably really wanted to make sure that the mails were delivered and thus were using a commercial MTA to ensure that.

I'd wager, even at 20 or 30 or 40k a year, that's way less than it'd cost to host infra and have at least two if not three engineers available 24/7 to maintain critical infra.

Looking at my mail, over the years I've gotten a couple hundred email from them around certificates and expirations (and other things), and if you assume there's a couple million sites using these certs, I could easily see how you'd end up in a situation where this could scale in cost very very slowly, until it's suddenly a major drain.

I totally don't need this, and I guess my big, loud, hot, noisy, annoying desktop is finally stable so I don't reeeeallllly have any justification there but somehow I still preordered.

...and got the trackpad.

Be nice to be free of both Windows and Linux on the desktop - sorry guys: <3 Linux-the-Server but not Linux-the-Desktop, even after 25 years of trying to.

I was at Gamestop and saw their CCG wall.

Thirty dollars for a single pack of cardboard.

They're out of their damn minds.

(Yes, I know that's the collectors edition nonsense and not representative of the actual pricing and blah blah blah blah, but the fact it exists at all....)

Vertical tabs in Firefox? Well shit, okay I'm in.

Wouldn't mind if their webpage had a little more detail on what, exactly, they've done to make it "privacy focused" other than a we-dont-collect-data privacy policy, but uh, vertical tabs!

Because I don't sit down at my Linux destop and feel like the product. There's no ads or suggestions or popups or apps installing themselves or shit copying my files around in ways I didn't really want or AI bullshit or anything even remotely suggesting I buy more shit, just... whatever the fuck it is I was intending to do.

The value in not having my computer act like a damn slot machine trying to get me to insert more quarters is, frankly, immense.

 

Saw an older post asking about ArcaOS and BBS stuff, and since I actually just did a rebuild of mine doing exactly that on newer hardware, figured I'd write about all the stupid shit I had to deal with and how to configure the OS in a blog and post it here if anyone is interested.
