Read this article in reader mode, as it is itself smothered in ads top and bottom. But the point is, Google sells massive amounts of personal data as kind of a public secret; the worst part is that they lead you to think it is actually for your good and service that they do it. It goes to the point that privacy -- owning your own data -- is increasingly expensive

TIL that chrome has a really cool JS/CSS coverage analysis for dev tools, for which FireFox has no equivalent! This is the first time I've seen an actual deficiency in FireFox for webdev.

Just learned about disroot, which sounds pretty awesome from a decentralized, tech ethics standpoint https://disroot.org/en/services/email

What's that thing called where I can input email#sometopic@example.com where it is either still sent to the main inbox or sent to a folder sometopic, depending on server settings? I am having trouble searching for it, though both gmail and other email providers observe it.

Looking at Mail Fence https://mailfence.com/

Is the wisdom of Separation of Concerns, I am interested in moving my email away from my web site provider. Any recommendations that would retain me email addresses, which are at-url and not at-provider?

Big company power.

I've been trying to write a blog post explaining the difference between functional and imperative programming and I've failed multiple times due to writer's block

Instead, I'm going to dump my thoughts here on a Twitter thread to finally get this out of my head 🧵 (1/16)

For years my web hosting needs, including a number of websites and five or six email addresses, have been provided by Bluehost. But they were bought up by a mega provider, became heartless, and outsourced all service overseas. I already moved my DNS hosting to Namecheap, but what's the best way to change my email provider without losing my addresses? And maybe my servers?
