Or, you know, just block domains that use Microsoft email

I’m guessing you probably don’t realize how many organizations host their email with Microsoft.

Democrats like yourself insisted that this wasn’t a big deal

lol! you obviously have me confused with someone else

Maybe,

why maybe and not obviously yes?

but Democrats are running an 80 year-old conservative

they’re also running a 41 year old murder enthusiast who is larping as a progressive, and they’re bolstering his credibility by pretending to fear his policies. it’s called hedging.

His problem is he never expected to run for office and therefore didn’t delete his socials.

You think the problem is that he didn’t delete is socials? (He actually did delete them and hoped to get away with it, it’s just that reddit archives exist and someone leaked his username to CNN.)

I think the problem is actually that (in his own words) he “wanted to have an adventure and kill some people. Joined up in ‘04, did Fallujah and Ramadi, and managed both.”

The primary is still seven months away.

Platner says some good things, but given his absurd lies about his lack of knowledge about his nazi tattoo, and his vague downplaying of these murder-loving reddit comments as being “a long time ago” (without even actually disavowing anything specific) despite them reaching all the way up to 2021, it’s difficult to believe anything he says.

Since Maine voters do seem to have an appetite for the actually-progressive policy positions he’s endorsed, shouldn’t someone more credibly holding those positions run?

No, what’s Trumpian is literally aligning with Trump to defeat progressive candidates.

i agree reactions can be useful, but adding them to email the way Microsoft has is obnoxious for recipients using any client other than theirs. and, i think this is probably their intention: receiving an email reaction in a client that doesn’t render it as a reaction feels wrong and MS probably hopes this will encourage some people to switch to using Outlook.

the right way to add reactions to email would be to make it opt-in (and also not a vendor-specific header but instead something which aims to become a standard): clients should only allow reactions to messages which contain a header signaling that the sender supports receiving them.

here is a previous thread about this image with a discussion about how accurate it is

Although this stance makes me think I should never use remote desktop at all

Yeah, generally speaking, remote access logically puts the remote system (or whatever resources are being remotely accessed) in the same “security domain” as the endpoint being used to do the remote access. So, system administrators and other security-conscious people indeed tend not to SSH or remote desktop in to important systems from other people’s computers :)

Congrats on fixing your issue and progressing in your self-hosting journey… but… from a security standpoint it is not really a good idea to log in to your home server from your work PC.

Anyone else who is able to run code on your work PC (your employer, rogue coworkers, hackers targeting your employer, hackers randomly exploiting the 15-year-old version of Office or other software you’re running there, etc) could easily discretely retain the access which you gave them to your hopefully-better-secured (or at least differently-secured) Debian home server.

I clicked to confirm my guess that this would be a David Brooks piece, and, of course it is.

As a reminder, this is the kind of stuff he was writing in in February 2003:

But suppose we are confronted with a problem of courage? Perhaps the French and the Germans are simply not brave enough to confront Saddam. Or suppose we are confronted with a problem of character? Perhaps the French and the Germans understand the risk Saddam poses to the world order. Perhaps they know that they are in danger as much as anybody. They simply would rather see American men and women–rather than French and German men and women–dying to preserve their safety.

I want to talk about foods with the bare minimum ingredients where if you would have added more, it would have been a disservice.

their fishing rods are invisible for you? including the hook and line? that must be rough. how do you avoid getting caught when you can’t even see them?
