Something about the creative process really likes limitations Even in tech, some of the most creative ideas are basically hacks to work within some kind of restraint. Somehow when every option is on the table, you don’t see such flashes of

It would be more fair to criticize the corporate culture at Microsoft in the 90s that led to this situation. They simply didn't really care. If another OS was dominant, it is easy to argue that fundamental security issues could have be

Pay a reputable provider to host your domain and that is not a problem. I use protonmail and their sending reputation is fine. You really don’t want to be self-hosting your own email in 2023 and all the headaches that entails anyway.

My mother in law’s bank account was drained within a week of her passing. Evidently someone at the hospital had to have been involved, although we never learned the vector. It’s really not a stretch to imagine a sophisticated attacker who s

Either way, it still speaks to the maintainability of these modern replacements, many of which are personal projects. tools like ls or grep are certainly showing their age, but that has also been their strength. The POSIX ecosystem comes in

It’s objectively not well. Or at least it is nowhere near as ubiquitous as it once was, which is fatal to a social network. The simple act of requiring one to login to view any content has muted it everywhere I once saw Twitter content.
