"Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"

Just submitted my personal Reflect Orbital reply comment to the FCC. And I managed to not throw my laptop out a window.

Reflect Orbital is a fucking terrible idea that will cause real physical harm with no benefit whatsoever.

Goedemorgen! Heeft iedereen alle klokken al verzet (of, in het geval van radiogestuurde klokken, gecontroleerd of het gewerkt heeft)?

Ik word er een beetje moe van: 2x per jaar een onnodige schop tegen het bioritme van bevolking en veestapel, om in de zomer een NOG minder goed bij onze locatie passende tijdzone te kunnen hanteren?

Die onzin moet echt stoppen.

You should not run your mail server because mail is hard

TL;DR: - Mail is not hard: people keep repeating that because they read it, not because they tried it - Big Mailer Corps are quite happy with that myth, it keeps their userbase growing - Big Mailer Corps control a large percentage of the e-mail address space which is good for none of us - It's ok that people have their e-mails hosted at Big Mailer Corps as long as there's enough people outside too EDIT (2019-12-15) # A practical guide to set up a mail exchanger was published on this blog.

De ODF #glasvezel steekt hier boven de grond uit, nu nog de verdere invoer in huis en de wachttijd tot Freedom mag leveren over die glasvezel. Maar onze buren hebben een andere ISP, die via minder glasvezelnetwerken levert. Die moeten dus nog langer wachten.

In the supermarket today I saw people video calling to discuss what to buy.

I used a shopping list.

Please read ALL directions before assembling your cat.
Microsoft spent 4 years stuffing Windows 11 with unwanted ads, forced Copilot integrations, stealing data to train its shity AI and other bloatware, now they want applause for promising to remove it. Reasons for a Change of Heart:
1 Increased Linux gaming
2 Apple's entry into the low end PC market with 0 forced AI
3 The "Microslop" social media shaming campaign
4 Increased costs due to AI leading to almost 0 ROI since there is no consumer demand https://www.sambent.com/microsofts-plan-to-fix-windows-11-is-gaslighting/
