       If you're in the UK, you can report spam and phishing messages to report@phishing.gov.uk.  About half the time you do so, your report will be auto-rejected like this: <report@phishing.gov.uk>: host gateway1.enmail.co[213.5.176.100] said: 554    5.7.1 Spam message rejected (in reply to end of DATA command)Translated into non-geek, that says: thank you for your spam report.  We have rejected it because it looks like spam.🤦🏼‍♂️

       @anon_opin Seriously?Vampires aren't real.  There's no point in arguing about them.

       @khm Thanks for this!  I learned about a couple of browser extensions I didn't know about. It'd be great if you could document the policies.json file somewhere (or point to a file where it's documented) so that people knew what it did and whether they might want to change it.  You've been clear about what the other settings and extensions do and why someone might not want to apply some of them, but the policies file is a bit of a mystery and that makes me hesitate before applying it.

       @cwebberIn the 1990s we will have flying cars and computers with 64KiB of memory, which is the most you can ever get without having a mainframe.@lanodan

       @eniko There's money in saying yes. Mrs Wife and I haven't eaten or drunk indoors in public spaces since early 2020.  We used to go out on date night every week.  We can't be the only #Covid-conscious couple in town.  The first pub to convince me that it was reasonably safe to unmask and eat indoors would get our custom.But it's the same problem as low-radiation monitors in the 1990s: it's a tough sell, because it's a tacit admission that older monitors are dangerous and that even the newer ones might carry some risk.  Same story here: "Eat at our pub and you have only a 1 in N chance of getting disabled by #LongCovid (or giving all your friends #norovirus), rather than 2 in N like the place over the road."  It's cheaper and happier just to pretend the risk doesn't exist and we can hand-wash our way to safety.  Fomites FTW!
