An OG (original geek) and sarcastic ass

I'm looking to move my personal email to a new host. Have been on Microsoft 365 for years, but it doesn't play nice with #Linux mail clients.

I'm considering:
- Google
- Zoho
- Fastmail
- Hostinger
- MX Route

Anyone have any suggestions/advice/experience with any of the above?

And I ruled out Proton and Tuta due to the lack of native Apple Mail support. Whatever service I pick needs to play nice with Apple's mail client for family that will also use it.

Age verification laws are really just censorship mandates clothed as child safety proposals—here’s why. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/rep-finke-was-right-age-gating-isnt-about-kids-its-about-control
Rep. Finke Was Right: Age-Gating Isn’t About Kids, It’s About Control

What’s at stake is whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control over the internet to enforce specific moral and religious judgments—judgments that deny marginalized people access to speech, community, history, and truth—into law.

Went to the capitol today to meet Sen Ball, Rep Paschal, Rep Ricks, and three additional Denver constituents with concerns about SB26-051's effect on open source software, privacy, and security.

It was an hour and a half meeting that could have gone longer if it weren't for the building being shut down.

Our concerns were heard and shared. The next step is exchanging and discussing specific language changes to the bill including an exemption for open source software.

Today, I met with Colorado Senator Matt Ball, co-author of Colorado OS Age Attestation Bill SB26-051.

Sen. Ball suggested excluding open source software from the bill. This appears to be a real possibility.

Amendments are expected for the CA age attestation bill. It's my hope we can move fast enough to influence excluding open source in the CA bill amendments.

No illusions, it's an uphill battle, but we have an open door to advocate for the open source community.

The Macbook Neo is interesting https://www.apple.com/macbook-neo/

I wonder how that A18 Pro iPhone chip compares to the original M1.

Also, if the A18 Pro is capable of running MacOS well, I really want the ability to hook my iPhone up to a USB hub and monitor to run the full desktop OS (ala Samsung Dex https://www.samsung.com/us/apps/dex/).

I've heard some buzz about the uniball Zento line of pens, but hadn't bothered trying one because I typically don't care for gel ink. But I saw a clicky Zento 0.5mm in a stationary shop and bought it on a whim.

Wow, yeah... I get it. The ink leaves a clean black line while writing very smoothly on the page. No smearing or feathering. Very nice!

If you have any interest in pens, I highly recommend giving one a try. JetPens has a bunch in stock: https://www.jetpens.com/Uni-ball-ZENTO-Gel-Pens/ct/7819

Uni-ball ZENTO Gel Pens contain specially formulated ink that helps reduce writing friction, as well as feathering and bleedthrough.

In my professional life, I have to work with AI services and companies and am responsible for integrating some of those models into our infrastructure for use by others.

It is more than a little concerning to see how attached people get to particular AI agents. When swapping one model or agent with something else, people behave as if I just killed their friend... which seems, um... not good.

Strange times ahead for the human race, I fear 😓

I understand why Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are right next to each other, but nothing is worse than going to paste something and accidentally clicking the Ctrl+C again instead ☠️
