Google is really losing the plot, there are lots of things in my blog that it can't find but DuckDuckGo can. My blog isn't that much of an outlier so I suspect this pattern exists more widely. If you do a Google search and come up short, don’t give up, try elsewhere.

Quando il web era appena nato si usava stampare delle guide alla navigazione, una sorta di pagine gialle. Su grafton9.net ne trovate 4 diverse, oggi preziose per fare ricerca storica e per riscoprire indirizzi web ormai dimenticati (ma recuperabili su Internet Archive)

4. LO Transport Union: Blocking the unloading of new Tesla vehicles in Sweden.
5. Seko: Announcing that PostNord and CityMail will halt deliveries and collections to Tesla’s offices and workshops.

License Plate Deliveries: The involvement of the Swedish Transport Agency, responsible for all license plate deliveries in Sweden, could further impact Tesla. Their cooperation with the strike, alongside PostNord's blockade, poses potential long-term difficulties for Tesla's operations.

There should be an option to make your Roomba swear when it bumps into things.

The main problem with ads is not privacy or security. Those are also real problems, but they're only adjacent issues. Even in a world where every ad was personally vetted by Very Good Privacy and Security Experts, the issue still remains that people keep trying to shove shit you didn't ask for into your eyeballs and/or eardrums in an attempt to influence your behavior in some way. Doing it politely only looks good by comparison. It's still an asshole move.

As long as people keep trying to spin this as a privacy/security thing, companies will keep making token efforts to patch over *those* issues and not addressing the root problem.

I often get asked something like:

"Why work on email clients? Isn't Gmail what most people use?"

The answer: a ton of people use Gmail and O365/Outlook. So many that it is endangering the email standard. But Email is the most decentralized communication technology out there - and great clients help protect that. So that folks can have a great email experience, regardless of the server/provider they use.

Protect email. Use Thunderbird.
