Me too. Because he posted the damned comment twice.

I genuinely and truly wish that a group of friends and relatives would stage an intervention for my Internet addiction. I’m open about it, but it seems like people don’t care very much. I would be happy to wear a silly costume!!

Thanks, I’ve done it!

I found out you can import not only bookmarks from Chrome, but also passwords, history and autofill data!

DONE!

I’m switching today. Right now. Because of this post.

^^maybe
EDIT: okay. I think I’ve done it. I’m currently editing this comment from Firefox. I already had Firefox installed. But now I have pinned it to my taskbar. I went to import my bookmarks from chrome, and found that I also had the option of importing other stuff from chrome, too (bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data). That’s sweet. My bookmark bar has the same bookmarks in the same position. I also installed ublock origin, like someone recommended. And I am going to give it a go. If it all goes smoothly, I will unpin Chrome from the taskbar.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

We need discourse. News sites are largely owned by rich men and corporations.

Even though email is supposedly “open”, and federated, is no longer is really the case. Big services like Gmail are suspicious of non-big-name servers, and often flag email coming from them as spam.

About a year ago I came across an article from a guy who’d been running his own email server since the 90s, and finally gave up. I couldn’t find that article in my quick search, but I did find this:

“I run my own email server. It’s no longer a good idea, because the anti-spam arms race makes delivery from small independent servers very difficult, even when you keep yourself off the block lists, so it’s a continuous struggle. Would switch, but I have too many domains/addresses”
