One thing I want to bring up just so you’re conscious of it is WiFi calling.

I currently use Tailscale and a sophisticated setup to route traffic via commercial VPNs. I also do a ton of DNS ad/tracking blocking which Tailscale wasn’t really designed for (and requires a rat’s nest of routing, iptables and the like).

I’ve noticed I never receive incoming calls now even while attempting to send traffic to my carrier’s WiFi calling server (it’s just another traditional VPN server at a technical level) through the nearest Tailscale exit node.

All this is to say, if you want WiFi calling to work you should consider this. I believe it’s the same for Android and iPhone.

As for the traditional VPN bit I kind of discovered this a few years ago when using one of those mobile cellular gateways you can plug into your LAN (I lived in a dead zone). When looking up my current carrier’s WiFi calling server (a different carrier) I realized the port matches the same VPN thing they were doing on the cellular gateway, so I think it’s fairly common for wireless carriers to just use a VPN to get you into their backend.

I used to work in an email heavy industry, so people who don’t use email or more specifically what I call “threading” right.

Changing the topic (so that the discussion no longer relates to the subject line), replying to add someone in without reattaching the relevant attached files, not using redirect email functionality, including screenshots that either lack relevant information due to poor cropping or forces the recipient into retyping its contents by hand all make email super annoying to deal with. And what’s with being expected to confirm you received each and every email? Ever heard of read receipts?

Also, people who don’t read error messages. As a web developer (or more broadly “computer person”) I cannot count how many times someone has sent me a picture of an error asking me what to do. 90% of the time the error itself tells you exactly what to do. Why do I need to read it for you?

I’m a Millennial and I’m trying really hard not to judge Gen Z, but they’re more conservative, don’t know how to use tech, can’t sign their name, and can’t tell the difference between reality and conspiracies.

I’m not a parent so I don’t know whether other Millennial parents are the problem, education, or something else but man do they just come off as a bunch of idiots.

Isn’t a Docker registry just HTTP? Would a caching proxy be too hard to use for this?

This should be the top comment (if valid)

I think they’re asking how to remap it

Yup, it makes my blood boil.

How have macOS (its correct name) and iOS been enshittified? As a daily driver of both I haven’t seen anywhere near the level of advertising and privacy violations on them as I’ve read about on other platforms.

In macOS it makes it very clear which application you’re in (if you momentarily forget), and you can get to menu items quickly (if you’re not already using the consistent key commands already) especially when using a Magic Trackpad (just swipe down fast and you’re there).

Whenever I have to deal with looking at Windows, application windows look super clunky and it’s definitely not helped by windows duplicating inconsistent menus everywhere.

Have you seen Safari on macOS? Other browsers have to settle for hiding everything under a hamburger menu or gear icon, making the inconsistent non-native UI problem more apparent.

If you’re into following evil research companies check out Ridglan Farms.

Simple-minded thinking tho…

Oh yeah, we can only care about just one thing at any given time. That makes sense.
