Addy user here! Been using it for years now and just last week, I saw an uptick in one of my aliases. Turned it off with a single toggle and no more spam.
The ability to self-host is awesome if I ever get to that stage. But right now, I want to keep giving them money.
That’s how Reddit was in the beginning.
Back then, you used to show someone “the front page of the internet” and it would literally be jailbait and tech news.
The defense of “it’s so easy just pick a server” is getting exhausting.
The average person wants something that works.

I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer
I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.
I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.
I completely forgot about the term SJW until this little dig into history.

Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I’ve reached my limit of cost vs value.
I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.
I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.
The answers: we can provide our children with thoughts and prayers. Because each bullet these children take is a bullet not used on our precious CEOs.
And bots! Lots of bots!
Typical infighting with open-source folks. It’s a personality war with nerds. Personally, id ignore the bs drama. Every project has their share.

Most of these devs would have cried if they met Linus Torvalds in his prime.

You weren’t kidding! This is a rollercoaster ride of incredible twists and turns!
The problem, according to three former Cooler Screens executives and a former Yahoo executive, was that their clients thought of the screens as “shopper marketing,” an old-timey ad category that covered in-store promos like the balloons or cardboard displays that clerks hang over cases of beer. Spending in this area was far lower than the more lucrative digital ad rates Avakian hoped to charge. One of the former Cooler Screens execs says that Avakian wanted marketing dollars well above what the industry was willing to pay and that his lieutenants could be preposterously condescending on calls with the Yahoo sales team, which at times devolved into shouting matches. “The Yahoo people hated them!” this former exec says. “Their MO was to ride them [Yahoo] like Secretariat.” (A Cooler Screens spokesperson says that this description is inaccurate and that Avakian’s relationship with Yahoo executives remained positive.)
Condescending calls with Yahoo sales team. Fucking hilarious.
If it helps, they also lock a lot of product, requiring employees to come and help customers directly.

It’s like they made their stores as hostile as possible to shop in.
The comments here are smug as fuck.
