So they want us to believe that the company that knowingly profited from genocide in Myanmar also knowingly profited from child exploitation? Really? OK then, I can believe that.

I can’t see how they could manage that without slurping up your contact information.

Thanks! 😁

I have a URL that’s 30 years old this year and it’s still valid and it still redirects to my personal homepage.

(Bonus: The oldest Internet Archive snapshot of it is from 1997.)

Funny thing that, a personal homepage, I first created one 31 years ago, at a time when it was rather unusual to have one. I still have one, and now it has become rather unusual to have one once again.

The minimum legal age for drinking beer or wine at a pub or restaurant is 16 years in Germany and many of its neighbouring countries so, yes, it’s not at all unusual around here to drink before turning 18.

“All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less.”

Simon Tatham wrote this several decades ago, but I still think it’s all excellent advice:

Even if you’re not technical, it should be possible for you to learn how to write a good bug report if you’re interested and as a longtime developer I can tell you from experience that a really good bug report is a real delight to receive.

Documentation is always needed. If you have any aptitude at all for explaining things to people, it’s almost certain that you’d be able to help there.

If you don’t know where to start, I can recommend starting with making a tutorial for doing whatever it was that you yourself last found difficult to learn how to do.

That really doesn’t explain anything about why you didn’t have the dentist (or even pretty much anyone else) do it for you instead.

I’m only a dude, but I’ve actually partly dremeled out one of my teeth before, no anesthetic, to drain an abscess that wasn’t about to drain itself.

That is patently insane, you can not just write that without mentioning anything about what circumstances could possibly have led to you being in a position where you had access to a drill but had no option but to operate it yourself.

Were you the last survivor on a research station on Antarctica in the middle of winter where the entire crew died of tooth abscesses leaving you the last man standing and help wouldn’t be able to arrive for months?

I’m struggling to come up with any other scenario where this could possibly happen.

All arguments against them have been debunked to hell, if they were at all true we wouldn’t see China now mostly running of of renewables.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s incredibly weird to introduce a new terminal based mail client without mentioning anything at all about how it differs from any of the already existing and popular terminal based mail clients?

But that’s not the point, the point is that more than 3 out of 4 people able to read this post don’t live in the US.

[…], only that you can easily see how the mistake gets made without ever calling it chauvinism.

This is the point where I strongly disagree with you, constantly mistaking less than ¼ for being the most likely is not easily made, there’s a good reason for why the expression US Defaultism exists, because a particular mindset is required for such a mistake to be easily made.

Around 1½ billion people in the world know English, less than ¼ of them live in the US.
