I wonder how many open source libraries their driver codebase relies on, it had best be zero with that attitude.

This would only work if they made the connection between their shitty behaviour and their mortgage application being rejected years later, which they won’t. They won’t even know who rejected it.

“Windows 95 chime composter” is a fucking wild way to refer to Brian Eno.

You just know he thought this sounded so fucking cool in his heads before he typed it out.

There are definitely gatekeepers. Even if your hosting provider isn’t blocking port 25 by default, SPF, DKIM and DMARC will see your emails going straight into the recipient’s junk folder/spam filter if not correctly configured. Hosting your own mail server at home is also a fantastic way to piss off your ISP, lose emails to downtime, have your IP blacklisted from many services and open up your environment to exploitation. It can be done but let’s not pretend that it’s easy or that there aren’t barriers to entry.

Mail servers are like filo pastry. Sure, you could go to the inconvenience and effort of making it yourself and I’m sure it’ll be very satisfying to do so. But 99% of professionals use the store bought version, and for good reason, because it’s a lot of effort for an end result that is no better and in all likelihood probably worse.

I would argue that being able to rent a house is necessary. That doesn’t mean we have to rent them from private landlords.

I mean, you’re looking at one screenshot of one Tumblr post. If you look hard enough you’ll find someone advocating for any deranged view you can think of. I’m pretty sure that whatever the hell this is isn’t going to be a commonly held opinion.

These takes bother me a lot less when I remember that there is a very high chance that the person making them is literally 14.

They do, the family just happens to be dysfunctional and abusive.

A new community-led initiative called “EU OS” to develop a Linux distribution initiative looks like a positive development. It is specifically created to address the unique requirements of the European Union's (EU) public sector organizations. For me, this initiative stands out for its commitment to the EU's digital sovereignty, reducing reliance on external vendors, and creating a secure, independent digital ecosystem.
