    Switched from Gmail to Fastmail in 2008. No regrets. Haven't considered anything else since (and didn't notice these recent problems I now read about). Email hosting is something I…

    I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Firefox (from the default Ubuntu repo) is updated frequently. It might lag behind the official release by a few days, but I can live with that. Cur…

    Sublime Text 4 dev builds (with public download links for Linux, Windows and Mac) are announced on their Discord [0]. If you're using Arch, or just want a quick download link to th…

    It's the latter. A third party provides you with the stuff you need to export to consoles, e.g. export template(s) and such that for legal reasons can't be included in the normal v…

    Stephen "Blue" Heaslip is still at it, ~24 years later, doing daily updates [0]. Full archives stretching back to 1996. Quite a bit of history in there. [0] https://www.bluesnews.c…

    It really should be noted that years later Joe changed his mind about OO and came to the realization that perhaps Erlang is the only object-oriented language :) From a 2010 intervi…
