He follows up with a comment about a screenshot being so dirty. This is just gross coming from a CEO. I'm starting to really wonder about a tin-foil theory that he wants to kill Twitter and have it file bankruptcy, then he can somehow

I never used Twitter, but did read a little of this thread for kicks. There are several posts from different users that are identical, like: "Musk spent $44 Billion on Twitter. The World's population is 8 billion. He could have gi

So now Google can figure out what you're buying too, by scanning your email. Gee, thanks! This was one of the main reasons I started Fastmail accounts: I didn't want Google looking through financial statements I might receive via

I think he understands it just fine. He calculates the cost/benefit ratio of trying something whether it's legal or not. If it works, great for him! If it doesn't work, oh well, it costs him a few extra dollars. Just like

But you can do something about this if you want. When you're at work and everyone is talking all around you, making it impossible to concentrate, it's a lot harder to fix that "togetherness" than to fix temporary remote

LIKE is case-independent by default. This prevents using an index for optimization, even for LIKE '<prefix>%'. To fix this, you can switch to GLOB '1*', which is case-sensitive, use the NOCASE collating sequence

In a former life I ran a company that had forums for our customers that could be viewed by the public. Our policy was to never delete or edit posts. It was great until we had about 2000 customers. Then we got a handful of about 10 nutjobs

I switched to FastMail last Feb and am very happy. For personal email, I use the cheapest plan with 2GB storage and set the Trash folder to delete mail after 365 days. So far I'm only using about 13% of the 2GB quota, even including

I really dislike this trend of segmenting content catalogs based on the plan you select. Netflix's new ad-supported plan not only shows ads, but also says "Some movies and TV shows unavailable (learn more), unlimited mobile games
