Google Maps in Android Auto does it, but I think they use Waze data.

Makes sense given that AI has been trained on all the prejudiced blatherings of humanity so far, and it just tries to imitate what it has seen. Yet it’s being used to make decisions as if it’s some wise oracle.

No, I’m on Fastmail. It’s full-featured and has a slick web UI, but it’s not as good for privacy as Tuta, Proton, etc. Also, although Fastmail is Australian they apparently host their servers in the USA.

My email provider will auto-generate aliases with no limit, and I also subscribe to Mozilla Firefox Relay, which allows me to invent email addresses on the fly and have them relay emails to my inbox. The advantage of the Firefox Relay is that it isn’t tied to the email provider so if I switch provider the aliases can still work.

That standard should still deal with plenty of the fascists, if consistently applied. Only the decent, honest, law-abiding fascists will slip through.

If you’re in the USA don’t you dare say abducting medics, handcuffing them, executing them and dumping their bodies in a mass grave is bad, or you’ll be abducted, tortured and disappeared to permanent prison in a random country. This is called free speech.

Still not sure whether OP is Pete Hegseth.

In Windows, Foobar2000 does easy audio file conversions, once you have installed the relevant codecs.

Many things are possible, but we shouldn’t go shouting “It’s microplastics!” or “It’s TikTok!” or whatever without actual scientific research. There are just too many plausible-sounding hypotheses that need to be handled carefully.

Even better, the whole HP printer is optional.

Here’s a review of the book in the NYT that gives a taste of some of the awfulness:

Mozilla has one too. And Fastmail. You can invent a different email address for every site, then block the ones that get spammed.

Ah there goes another thing that distinguished the USA from China and Russia.

Canada and Europe really need to be thrashing out some deals right now.

I have never seen this happen, and I don’t know what tools would confuse the strings “null” or “Null” with NULL. From the comments in this thread, there are evidently more terribly programmed systems than I imagined.

It’s regrettable that Obsidian isn’t open source. But the nice thing about it is that its data store is just a bunch of markdown files in a folder structure, and very easily migrated to any other application. They may have the code but they don’t take the data hostage like a lot of commercial software does.

What are the chances the hard drive would still be readable, I wonder?

And keep backups, folks.

It has been known to happen.

This is definitely his getting-blown-by-an-ostrich face.

Maybe what I’m doing right now? I mean, it could be.
