Mental note of an idea before I forget and never tell anyone: @thunderbird should adopt and dig in deep on being the best in class mobile and desktop client for #DeltaChat in addition to being an email and RSS reader. Compete on simplicity and features against closed, commercial Messangers, not just corporate email. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Capital One's credit monitoring service just emailed me to tell me that a lender has reported a new account to the credit reporting agencies.
That lender is Capital One.
Reporting the card that I just opened with them.
And then telling me about it.

As we consider communication services, the importance of privacy and security, I have @Tutanota in mind, but also it feels like Germany is on the fence about censorship/surveillance? (Props to everyone who has been fighting chat control, though. This is a big deal and I appreciate that you've kept it at bay!)
More and more people are choosing to send secure emails with Tutanota!Tuta

Dear Diary, or whatever passes for it these days:
I'm currently sitting in a park. It's a lovely spring day, with a gentle breeze. The birds are chirping, the air smells clean, and there are some kids playing. It's peaceful. Perhaps it's too peaceful.
I feel like I'm supposed to disturb that peace, perhaps by blowing something up, or setting the grass on fire. I feel like, if I don't do this, everything will remain unbalanced.
Is this normal?

The UK IPv6 Council meeting was held at BT (London) Tower the other day, and seemingly as part of the deal of hosting something at BT Tower is that your stuff gets put on the mini scrolling jumbotron.
I wonder how many people looked up and thought "wtf is IPv6 and this URL?"
Question for my tecnical friends.
Let's say you are creating a project that requires it be protected by a captcha. You have to use a captcha, and there is no way around this. Please don't reply with statements like. Captcha are bad, or don't use a captcha. Thanks. With that being said.
Which captcha service would you recommend and why?
The captcha needs to have an accessibility component or an alternative option for solving, and needs to be simple to integrate.
Free/low cost is probably preferred.

Firefox 147 Will Support The XDG Base Directory Specification
A 21 year old bug report requesting support of the XDG Base Directory specification is finally being addressed by Firefox. The Firefox 147 release should respect this XDG specification around where files should be positioned within Linux users' home directory...

Remember when the Norway fund told Canada to act on climate or lose funding, and Alberta conservatives told the Norweigans to fuck off?
That's why Carney is grovelling for funds to grow Canada's climate villain emissions from fellow climate villains.

For anyone who owns a Zoom H5 Studio recorder, the official accessory pack (Zoom APH-5s) is now *finally* available. This includes a large, protective case with lanyard, a power supply with USB-A to USB-C cable, and most importantly, a furry windscreen that actually fits the very large X/Y microphone capsule properly.
I've tried a few windscreens, and have not actually found one that really fits. Some work better than others, but they're either too small, too large, not the right shape, or some combination thereof.
It only took Zoom six months to sell something that really should be included in the box the way these mics work, but that's typical Zoom, really.

“To our surprise, neither our IP address nor our accounts have been blocked by WhatsApp. Moreover, we did not experience any prohibitive rate-limiting. With our query rate of 7,000 phone numbers per second (and session), we could confirm 3.5 billion phone numbers registered on WhatsApp”

Tomorrow I have to go practice but u know what? Do you remember trains from two weeks a go? There are those trains and should be falling snow too!! Overall it is a nice trip to the outskirts of town and if I can be honest I can't wait tomorrow to go to the school.
edit: my imaginations are like this: make a deal with master from practice so at first semester i will focus to complete documentation (obviously at home) and the second I will make a product.
What the actual f...k? How does a multibillion dollar company like #Meta not mitigate against this kind of historic data leak???

Wouldn't it be an easy (yeah, only an enduser here) first step to integrate the key-exchange/autocrypt feature in TB to make it at least use the messaging via chatmail?
