Nothing motivates me more to read mailman 3 manual than yet another facebook data privacy boondoggle.

I know mailing lists to keep in touch with everyone is not the best solution, but I find it to be a viable solution.

Also I've been using firefox facebook container,since it's been released.

@ivyl That looks like a hackerspace, which is awesome.

This term sounds familiar, as I remember it from dark old days of working with PHP.

In the passage below wiki page uses this term as allegory to explain PHP --

The name "Paamayim Nekudotayim" was introduced in the Israeli-developed[1] Zend Engine 0.5 used in PHP 3. Although it has been confusing to many developers who do not speak Hebrew, it is still being used in PHP 7, as in this sample error message:

@bgcarlisle Okay, noted. I will change my behaviour appropriately.

"Have you tried GNU Image manipulation Program?"

Also Now I realize why in KDE program lookup it never shows up as 'GIMP'. I have to type "GNU" if I right click and want to edit a raw file.

@bgcarlisle @Jo Although this is sad, and something must be done, I believe it is slightly better than all of the cool-sounding but ultimately meaningless names of every silly silicon valley startup and/or JS framework.

I've accepted the whole 'Bernstein bears parallel universe' idea as a cute an philosophical thing, but this is not what it is. It's just a total fantasy based on a complete misreading of the facts.

Thank you for pointing that out.

To reduce carbon footprint, or I just like getting package from the post office, I've signed up for Canada Post flex delivery, but there's one big problem with this system -- if the package doesn't have tracking information, like cheapest tracking on aliexpress, I won't get notified when the package arrives. Which makes me not trust the system.

I always felt that all the startups that provide service of picking one of the items, such as glasses or clothing then returning the rest -- are terrible for the environment.

This article explains that this is in fact terrible for the environment and why -- https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/online-shopping-carbon-footprint-1.4914942

I designed and 3d printer simplest, laziest thing possible -- a missing shoulder strap clip for my camera.

The design involves creating a small cuboid, from that cuboid subtracting slightly smaller cuboid.

I could have bothered with rounding edges, but I didn't do that.

I've been sitting on this blog post for a few months, now I feel like I'm ready to publish it. It details how facebook manipulates users for paying for advertising.

Lens at hacklab photography shop. Hacklab.to/about. I wish all the adapters for my camera will arrive soon so I can borrow a few.

I made some updates to my 3D printer (via Instagram). Now with fuses!
