I strongly recommend this book to anyone who thinks about current events or who thinks in general.

@simongray @seancorfield In my case it was not blackmail but a thinly veiled threat like, "I know where you live"

I received an unexpected "encrypted" email from my lawyer that includes the phrase, "If you have received this message, then you are the intended recipient. It is impossible to receive this message by error." It links only to a website, marcord. Now, the original message from him has all the trappings his emails always have -- do not share disclosures, intended recipient stuff, etc. The same footer. All-in-all, it looks like a rare breed of high-brow scam artistry.

@simongray @seancorfield The trouble is with bad actors (which can include companies). I have had people say threateningly, "Good thing it's so easy to find you!"

I probably cared less about this back when I didn't have a family I wanted to protect

I seem to have put my chips in long ago on the awkward " vs " thing, before I actually knew much about data privacy. it is an interesting debate in this era of content creators and social media. Are those two things both incompatible with privacy?

When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM

And the one-line winner for downloading a list of URLs is `parallel wget < moira.html`, credit to blob.cat/objects/be683b98-3ce6 @icedquinn

The nature of the URLs produced a list of files with useless names. But a little refactoring and regexp of the source list and then an , and they were all renamed sensibly.

@icedquinn I was unaware of parallel. I installed it, blinked, and the process was done!

I have a big list of URLs to files. What's the easiest way to download all of them?

@ljrk leiningen uses the Maven store, but the interface is better

There’s a new item in the content context menu in Nightly #Firefox that lets you copy URLs to the clipboard, but with known tracking parameters stripped.

@zrzz That is an excellent idea! In fact, hooks indeed sound like a likely culprit, the sort of thing that accumulates over emacs run time. Next time I have the slowdown, I will definitely do the profiler

@ericsfraga yeah, my own issue rarely crops up. I just restarted my exwm (and recovered most of my tabs) and so far we are back to snappiness

@dangillmor @indivisibleteam

That was great review for my casual, not corporate previous leaving of X.

@indivisibleteam is leaving the deadbird site, eloquently: We’re stepping back from the increasingly dangerous and dysfunctional ‘X’, and we’re sorry it’s taken this long" --
