- Comment on New Email Scam Includes Pictures of Your House. Don’t Fall For It. 1 month ago:
I can in Thunderbird but I don’t reply to companies. They have no reply email adress. Like here is your order number or there is our latest campaign. I use customer chat for help or company have internal message system like banks. In general I like to avoid using email due to the protocol design.

For two periods. I am talking about only allow one period.
- Comment on They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot. 1 month ago:
I think that someone who actually reached the top, being president, should not be allowed anymore. They suceeded, and can brage about, be happy. There is no need for a second turn. You did your best right? This avoids corruption.
- Comment on New Email Scam Includes Pictures of Your House. Don’t Fall For It. 1 month ago:
For me this would not work. I have my own domain and give out like me-authy@example.com So if the email is sent to that I wound just know who leaked my email adress. Change email and ban everything to to the old adress. I never get spam this way.

What is the official reason here for removing it?
- Comment on Google Gemini might soon handle your WhatsApp calls, notifications, and more (APK teardown) 2 months ago:
I want to take all my phone calls. I very rarely get one. Maybe 1 time per 6 months on my private phone. I have meetings on teams but don’t count them as it is remote working and only for work.
Besides, Google products just dies.
Can’t they just code this like an assistant or something? Much more power efficient.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
You DO get a choice. You can shift to any other operating system in the world. I did go to Fedora with KDE.
- Comment on iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones 2 months ago:
This increase competition a lot. I like it. Sure people using iPhone may not like options, but at least some can now.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips 2 months ago:
As it requires going inside me, i wound never use it regardless of what it can do.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 2 months ago:
It is funny how they think this product useful to so many people. I believe they only do it because they have to use AI in any way but could not come up with something better.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
That is good news - I assume they are done with the replacement as they announce this, otherwise they are just stupid. The problem is - why did it take this long time for a trillion dollar company to archive it?
- Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 2 months ago:
Wow. Is it even legal to have it that long?
I bet a lot was of details were missing in there as well.

I am surprised of this.
- Comment on What self-hosted services can help during a crisis or emergency? This is for those affected OR those who want to help 3 months ago:
If the government did it - I would be very angry. Do you know how much internet help with democracy in the world? Think of it as shutting down all libraries with books, and forbidde any kind of communication.
It would of course try to setup some communication and gather people. I currently only have one irc server. I guess people want something webbased as they probably don’t have the client software.
I would probably lose my job as well as it is a software as a service company that require internet to function.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 3 months ago:
Almost. Look at spaceX and their Rockets.
I am just saying that they are allowed make very heavy impact to the climate compared a normal person. Just take their jet plan or helicopter wherever they go is allowed.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 3 months ago:
Is there any reason why they should keep more money than they ever can spend?
And at what cost to the climate/resources did they get this rich? Compare that to what they have done for the climate/resource.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 3 months ago:
I am just against what they are allowed to do with this money. How many airplanes full with fules can they blow up just for fun? Want to find fastest way to blow it up. Is it fair that they can ignore the climate impact completely? Just do what ever bad stuff they want to.

What do Microsoft have to gain from not listening on to the users?
- Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen 4 months ago:
I left Authy a couple of years ago when I realized that I can own my own data. I use KeepassXC. For sync, just syncthing. Both free and I 100 % control of it.
Any online password manager is in my opinion is stupid as it will sooner or later get hacked - info leak. Some may not even apply zero-knowledge about the passwords.
- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 4 months ago:
I am actually surprised that USA can’t find any better candidates. Unless it have anything to do with money/power… IMO the candidates should not matter, just follow the party line, but president have more power than that.
- Comment on The past, present, and future of local-first - Martin Kleppmann (Local-First Conf) 4 months ago:
A general protocol standard just for sync would be nice. But then there is the problem of getting all big players on board. There are open protocols like syncthing and seafile use but not compatible with eachother.
- Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising 4 months ago:
Because you can’t just double click on an .exe file and choose switch now without many more questions etc.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 4 months ago:
Just stop supporting the biggest actor in the market.
- Comment on Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs 4 months ago:
Would it be a downside? Slower? Very costly?
- Comment on Every time I get an email about 6 months ago:
Are they required by law or something to send those out? It is almost like needing to reconfirm your cookie in the webbrowser
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
How many % of these 70% can’t upgrade to windows 11 due to hardware limitation?
