Use a web shortcut to the website for the forecast of your town, not an app.

There’s a lot you can do to lock down iOS using official features. Go through all the app privileges, especially location, get rid of widgets, lock down your iCloud authentication and enable e2e, disabling web access to iCloud, etc.

This simply isn’t correct. While the billionaires yacht fleet and jet setting make them have insane carbon footprints individually, it is their business practices that actually register in terms of contributing significant chunks of the carbon budget for humanity. Bezo’s jets and yachts pale in comparison to Amazons delivery fleet and manufacturing all that junk. It’s counterproductive to focus on their personal emissions, when it’s the interaction of their businesses, government, and consumers that are burning the earth. We have 2 levers on that problem.

I think the bigger impact is thinking about changing weather patterns long term leading to new and larger deserts in the centres of continents and regular, massive storms on the coasts. That’s a changing climate beyond “everybody is a few degrees hotter” that is implied by global warming. CO2 isn’t going to effect breathing, but does cause acidification.

Because he doesn't campaign on policy, and most people couldn't really tell you his policies other than "cheap beer, open for business, Toronto bad".

I use good old wallabag for read it later because of how well it works in fbreader on my Kobo. Linkwarden for the bookmarks. It’s not really bloated if you think about how the archiving preserves copies of bookmarks in case the site goes down, and more crucially, allows for full text search.

I wonder if there might be some super common spam tlds like .xyz or .ru or something, but generally, yeah, custom domain isn’t the issue. Some other options are Migadu, mailbox.org, mxroute, and Tuta all seem like decent companies. A lot of others “also do” email hosting, like porkbun and OVH. Plenty of companies host their email with all these companies and have mostly clear sailing without being spam binned.

Not just effort. Negotiating trade agreements with the states have always involved giving concessions that mean enacting legislation that deliberately hurts Canadian industries and/or consumers in return for low cost access to their markets. If they are going to be unreliable, we should not be hurting ourselves in hopes that they will play by their own rules.

Porkbun + runbox here. Domain and email together cost less than $30 a year. You can use the domain for free with GitHub pages or cloudflare for a free website too.

Other reason is the renew fees for special tlds are so unpredictable. Com is surprisingly cheap to renew.

That’s not an issue with a custom domain name, but one of the other parts you run into, SPF and DKIM dns settings being correct and the reputation of whatever SMTP server’s ip address is. No one spam-bins based just on random domain names, or every business would freak out. You can also use your own domain on Google, Microsoft, or Apples ecosystems, not that you need to, there are plenty of providers that will host your email. I like runbox.

Couldn’t agree more.
