Just subscribed, thanks a lot.
The only question here is: why do European police chiefs want to help Russia and China intercept our communications?
It’s not yet proven that it was the US, no? I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised at all, but I still don’t know that’s a fact.
The situation in Malaga is going to be a shitshow pretty soon. There’s basically no water there anymore. This summer, hotels will be able to fill their swimming pools, but residential buildings will be banned from doing so. There are talks of bringing water in boats from Murcia. People that got rich planting avocados and mangos saw their crops fall 85 % last year. And of course there are already water consumption restrictions, with water flows restricted at night.
But at the same time there are talks of beating all previous tourism records. This is insanity.
I was listening to a podcast the other day (could have been “Rachman review”, which is typically very good) and the interviewee said that yes, there might be interest in this, but companies want to see long-term orders before committing. There’s currently no capacity, so they have to build it on their side, but they don’t want to do it if they think the orders are going to dry in a few months / years.
With the new EU’s interconnection laws I hope I can WhatsApp from Pidgin, or even from irssi!
But no, I don’t use pidgin anymore. irssi, yes.
We can’t have nice things.
The full text describes clusterfuck after clusterfuck. It’s worth registering (it’s free to read) even just for this one.
Also, some (most?) RSS readers don’t need the path to the feed directly. You give them the regular URL and they’ll figure it out. TinyTinyRSS does it.
Gnomon. A massive disappointment.
I wish I had known about Power Delete Suite. I nuked my posts / comments by hand :-(
In case it’s useful to more people: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
Yes, these things are never dead. They just come back under a different name / pretensions until they pass.
I created an account a few months ago but I’ve barely used it. DDG provides pretty much everything I search for. This might be because I don’t typically do very “esoteric” searches, but for now I don’t see the need for a paid service. Most of the times, tweaking the query so that it looks for a specific source is good enough.
I’d love if DDG had a system to remove entire domains entirely from the results, though.
Came here to post a similar comment zedeus made in another thread:
Nitter is dead.
I still checked some Twitter accounts from people that were interesting to me and didn’t migrate to Mastodon. One less thing to worry about, I guess.
Where’s that? I just ran a test search but I can’t see it :-?
Yes, I’m aware those filters exist, but I’m asking about the practical implications of the set up I mentioned in the post.
I moved back to Spain after 9 years abroad. I discovered this country runs on WhatsApp. Not a chance this will change in the short term.
Is it overkill? I think it is. Does it work for you? Go ahead then.
I installed a dokuwiki for personal use and it’s great. Some people might say it’s too much, but I’m happy with my choice.
The way it’s written fits very well with the madness that’s AWS, though.
Yes. And on Microsoft Teams that triggers a chat call.
In Spain (not sure about Europe in general) things are slightly different.
I have been living in Canada for 9 years, and there if you see a transaction you don’t recognize in your credit card statement you phone your bank and they take care of that.
Here in Spain you need to go do the police, file a report, then talk to your bank, then they’ll think about it.
So when I came back I was talking with some guys I know and they convinced me that, at least around here, it’s still a good idea to use Paypal. You also get faster refunds, etc (and that could be due to some European regulation, not sure).
