i bet snowden would chuckle: you have to enable javascript to render the page on govtrack.us to see who voted which way on the FISA Amendments Act:

ProtonMail doesn't support IMAP without running a background bridge/converter, only their HTTP API, so on mobile you have to use their firstparty app, not the native OS email client on the mobile device. this is fine.

however, their 1p email client doesn't let you sort a mailbox, or select multiple items and move them all to archive or a folder. unsorted, one by one. ugh.

lol amex's web app doesn't recognize token@token.email (.email TLD) as a valid email address. what dipshits

Computers are fast now. DNS servers can handle a lot more. Stop using 86400 as a default TTL for RRs and start using something more sane like 3600.

first they came for the right-wingers, and i did not speak out because i was not a right-winger...

@tedu i am impressed by your command of global variables

the default for most 3p mobile email clients (e.g. gmail, protonmail) is to do a full on notification on *every single new message*.

can you possibly imagine?!

no wonder marketers love email so much: it's an instant demand for attention from the user.

are there any decent go implementations of activitypub that are production ready for a single user instance? kept hearing that go-fed was close, but has anyone actually used it?

the people who run stadia at google are utter fuckups

are there airbnbs in 432 park

everything else aside, it's maddening seeing ar15s called "heavy weaponry" or "high-powered rifles". they are neither, they're light, low-power low-weight *carrying* rifles. they're about as small as you can get in a rifle. throwing about terms without knowing what they mean or if they even apply (another: calling something "high explosive" when it's not a high explosive, just normal deflagration explosive) is the fastest/surest way to lose credibility with anyone paying attention.

i think that one of the reasons the united states military is such a powerful force for authoritarian control today was via the memes and other bullshit about being the "freedom/good guys" they spouted for so many years (while enslaving a large population) to convince so many smart people to go to bat for their tech superiority:

freeman dyson and james randi in one year. not sure i can take much more of this.

can we please have sports again so bored lonely brawlers can go back to wearing cheese heads or color coded shirts or whatever and stop stanning for creepy old racist dudes and cop-lovers
