@suricrasia I just pay https://etke.cc to do maintenance on a droplet that I own

Canada Post email?
Here's my idea for the day. Evolve part of Canada Post to create an email service. Canada doesn't have a really strong rival to gmail. Recent events have shown that using services such as US-owned email, digital storage and other related services are a security risk to every Canadian. Individual as well as Canadian business and government departments are all using these US services -- which can surrender their customers documents, etc. on request to the US government. Likely the same for many other non-Canadian owned services.
I don't know if Canada Post email would be the way to go, but with all this talk about its services needing to keep up with the times, well, it popped into my head.
Something encrypted, offers similar document and work services, etc. as gmail.). They could work with Corel, Sync and/or related Canadian companies to build it.
Or, maybe Sync or some other Canadian company or group could be supported, and encouraged to offer an email service.
Anyway, just a thought.
Interesting comments on this, btw.
TIL about the "popover API" in #html
With this you can have fully declarative modals with zero js.
```
<button popovertarget="mypopover" popovertargetaction="show">
Show popover
</button>
<button popovertarget="mypopover" popovertargetaction="hide">
Hide popover
</button>
<div id="mypopover" popover>Popover content</div>
```

Uuuuugh. Somehow triggering an Electron bug where my origin is being marked as not secure even though I'm marking it as secure on the session 😱

Today's undefined moon is 0% of full brightness, and is currently NaN km from Earth and NaN km from the sun. It's been NaN days since the last new moon.

lmao my pixelfed instance instantly died after I boosted a post on it
@jonmsterling Hard agree regarding just getting the prompt
Using my local slop tool to translate JSON-Schema to Typescript "typebox" definitions while following the codebase style. 😎👍 Amazing that a lil 8b model can do anything at all.
@atax1a That's reasonable! I don't mean to say that everyone should do as I want. Only that I appreciate when folks CW stuff.
@atax1a I love it when people CW US pol so I can get a break from the constant doom posting if I want. Setting up word filters for all the various actors and euphamisms is exhausting. I'd rather not have to block/mute people entirely
Sometimes I almost miss having a regular laptop but it's been like a decade since those days and the controller setup suits me way better

hot take, burning hot take, like, not to you who probably agree but to the companies who disagree: not only should it be easy and legal to jailbreak all your devices ... the "jail" shouldn't even exist, you should be able to install and uninstall any software without jailbreaking the device
this includes phones, tablets, consoles, smart appliances, and obviously computers
Adding alt+arrow keys navigation to my web browser has been great because I can hit that with the left joystick (mapped to arrow keys) and my back left bumper (alt) on my GPD Win 4.
sometimes I step back and admire how fucked up my default computer experience is. Folms are worried about GNOME desktops being too hard compared to windows. Meanwhile I had to run a TUI to connect to wifi until a few months ago and liked it 🤪
@burnitdown @xgranade Also for repairability and upgrades the @frameworkcomputer computers are decently priced and so easy to use https://frame.work/ca/en/laptop13
@burnitdown @xgranade @system76 Less than a new macbook but I agree it'd be better if folks reused hardware. I think businesses would have the highest impact rather than household consumers.

It is strange to read an article detailing exactly why and how Microsoft has lost its way, leading to products that really just aren't good any more, all the way through to academic critiques of Microsoft's AI push (though, I'll note, the article goes out of its way to not mention Emily Bender).... only to read in the closing lines that the author is completely unwilling to even try Linux.
@burnitdown @xgranade IMO the safest path for regular users is to buy a preloaded computer from one of the many vendors out there like @system76 No need to do anything fancy and it comes preloaded with an approachable desktop environment.
