It’s good to see that M$FT is tackling the important problems:

The sight of a Blue Screen of Death will also be a thing of the past, too. Microsoft is now officially redesigning its BSOD so that it’s black and not blue.

VSCode + Vim keybindings + Metals for Scala development. I used to use IntelliJ (paid and free) + the Scala plug-in, and Pycharm (free). For Scala I’d be fine with either VSCode or Jetbrains, just depends on who is paying (or not paying). I suspect that Python support in VSCode is a lot better these days so it might be a viable option to Pycharm. I need to check out VSCodium, if it works well with Metals and gets frequent updates I might make the switch.

Harper’s Magazine (not to be confused with Harper’s Bazaar). https://harpers.org/ There’s Granta for mostly long-form fiction. A quarterly. It’s excellent but more like a periodic paperback book than a magazine.

I use the one that’s built in to the Fastmail service. I have a custom domain just for aliases. The Fastmail alias-creation API is integrated with the Bitwarden app (which I use) so that makes creating new accounts (that use email addresses as usernames) on websites really easy. I also use Spamgourmet which is free, convenient, and has been around a very long time. No custom domains there, but they let you use a variety of their domains and they have some short ones which is nice, but I do find that they’re blocked pretty often, mostly by major mailing list services.

Re: Fascism, Mussolini’s full explanation/description is a very good read. Here’s a version that a search turned up:

Got to hand it to the guy, he was well-educated and could write, which is more than you can say for his modern-day imitators, especially the loud, orange one.

Spamgourmet.com

No maximally-cruel executions for free-thinking (allegedly having or expression thoughts, or doing deeds, contrary to those mandated by some religion). Burning at the stake, totally fake, yeah.

Was not aware of Waydroid, thanks for the link.

While I’d love to add my opinion to the Play Store reviews, there’s no way in Hell I’m installing some kind of Christofascist malware on any device that I control.

The fundies are always carrying on about daemons, I hope you set the JWs up with all the “best” ones, and more.

I’d like to put something up that will outrage and provoke them. The CoS has a few items that might do the trick: https://www.churchofsatan.com/sources-artifacts/

https://ipleak.net/ is one that I use.

Check out spamgourmet.com . Fresh 90s UI, unlimited aliases using their domains (ex: xoxy.net), and completely free. It’s not an email service though, they only do forwarding.

Explosives were fascinating when I was, like, 10 years old. Now, as an adult, they’re just stupid, but we have an ever-growing population of people who derive their sense of self-worth from producing maximally loud, obnoxious, pathetic spectacles (think street-racers, coal-rollers, rap-blasters to name a few), so there you have it. When you’re a nobody and have no attributes that anyone would look up to, well, at least you can force people to pay attention to you and do it on the cheap (important because you’re poor). Boom boom pop pop.
