If you bothered to read the linked USPS page, you’d know that “refusing” mail does not prevent you from receiving it. It just means you can give it back to your mailman. Lower on the page it discusses what I mentioned, that there’s voluntar

No you can’t. There’s a Direct Marketing Association that will let you “opt out”, but it’s purely voluntary and only a minority of junk mail senders are members.

Any bill to ban junk mail would fail in Congress because the postal workers union here is very cozy with the Democrats and would never support it.

I wish I could buy a new Mac and run Windows on it. But I really dislike macOS. I've tried to like it, but it just feels like a crippled OS compared to Windows. I hate the lack of support for true fractional scaling, the comically bad

I’ve spent a lot of time in front of the computer since before I started school. I’ll say, I’m bad at memorizing lists of facts. But I’m great at remembering things once I understand them with context. So, memorize the 50 states and capital

It was passed because in the Microsoft v. US case, the Supreme Court was expected to affirm the long-standing law on this: that in response to a U.S. court order, Microsoft had to hand over user data from Irish servers, Irish law be damned.

This has always been the law. Common law courts have been issuing court orders that require you to take actions in foreign countries, even in violation of foreign law, for as long as it's been a legal question. The CLOUD Act actually i

I see they're running the reality distortion field at full power. This is a load of bullshit and marketing hype. They are letting you turn off features for security reasons, i.e. what basically every OS has let you do, and what every h

I never understood why IRC servers don't just store history and let clients query for it. This seems like a small addition to the protocol that would have made it a lot more pleasant to use. You could always turn the feature off in you

Great guide but please please please, stop using "git checkout", which is confusing and has awful syntax that bugs out if you happen to have a file and branch with the same name. Use "git switch" and "git restore&qu
