I’m guessing bots don’t report content as often as users did before.

Even the Made In America stickers come from China lol

I would recommend against Proton, it’s just a matter of time before their CEO starts tweeting again.

Calendar+contacts: use Baikal

As for email, I went with a cheap no frills service like migadu

Dirt cheap! Renovation of one of the local stations here was estimated at 37 million. Final amount: 480 million.

Beautiful, thanks!

Ah yes, that left-wing government with a banker president. I guess everything is regarded as left by Trump.

How Music Works by David Byrne. It was recommended to me by a colleague when asked about good resources on learning more about music.

I’m only in chapter 3, so far it’s been interesting. About how music has adapted since the introduction of recordings, about the shifting perceptions, not only in music but also showmanship, size of venues, choice of instruments. The current chapter is about the different recording media and their impact on the music.

All very interesting, although I do hope it will soon delve deeper into the nitty gritty: notes and intervals, progressions, and all the things I’m still totally unaware of.

Great pick by @realDonaldTrump . 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

Andy Yen, Proton CEO, on X

I’m on porkbun for some other domains, very happy with them. Except for them not offering .be domains… :)

I never knew we backed up this world. Can we revert to a snapshot from the nineties please?

Peak capitalism achieved (again).

I always regarded it as him using Write What You Know as a way to counteract the intimidating blankness of a new project’s first page. The default setting for him to start off a story, in a quiet house in a quiet neighborhood, never too many people around. And Go!

It never bothered me, in fact I think the books sucked me in faster thanks to the default setting. It’s easy to get used to, I can always identify well enough with the main character.

Wow nice catch. I assumed they were local due to the low prices.

Keep an eye on the price. I recently switched my .be domains from Gandi to Dynadot. 36 vs 6.8 euros per year, I had no idea such a difference was possible. Fuck Gandi.

If it hasn’t already, moving from corporate owner to corporate owner will become some sort of ritual, a modern form of tradition.

Replacing Google Drive is the hardest for me. I’m not a fan of the nextcloud bloat, Seafile is hard to setup. Didn’t expect this to be the largest struggle of the whole process.

Yes it does both calDAV and cardDAV!

I was on the same path as you, I didn’t like the nextcloud bloat. Came across baikal and it just worked perfectly from the start. I use it both on desktop and android, no issues with sync. As for the reminders, I guess they are baked into the events, because the events work nicely on my phone. Definitely worth a try I’d say!

Terrible, such sturdiness. I’m starting to fear this will be my last e-reader ever… :)

I have an older kobo, the h20 Libra, some years old. I have my eye on a new version but I don’t replace things that aren’t broke. Let me tell you, that Libra will last me years to come still, amazing quality. I haven’t even mentioned the easy USB connect to add books, or the great Kobo store.

My next one will definitely be a Kobo as well.
