Really wondering how Biden’s fundraising is going today. #debate
Got a well-crafted phishing message telling me my AT&T bill would be increasing and that I need to accept new terms and conditions. Email clients (like Apple Mail on my iPhone) that display only the "friendly name" and not the actual From address are evil. DMARC is no help here. Be careful out there, folks.
Timothy Mellon just gave $50 million to a pro-Trump Super PAC. What a joke our candidate donation limits are.
With a new COVID surge underway, we (in the USA) are no longer getting free tests. Wondering whether that will make the surge worse.

"The Facebook comma" 🧐

@jon404 But playing nicely would encourage more people to run their own mail servers and if you make money selling mail as a service that's not what you are up to.

As someone that runs #spamd on an #OpenSMTPD mx on #OpenBSD, it *really* grinds my gears when companies such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft view the email RFCs as "suggestions for mere mortals" on how to conduct themselves sending email.

Yes, the world has changed since the RFCs were written, some for better, some for worse... but at least *try* to play nicely.

Also, if you're not going to play nicely, for the love of all things sacred don't *sell* your crap product to other companies.

Had to install WhatsApp to communicate with someone in Asia. Really annoying how it wants access to your address book, and won't associate a name with a number without it.
Hardly any hummingbirds at our feeder or the feeders of friends this year. Hope that isn’t due to bird flu.
