Apple's Hide My Email feature is a joke.
1. When I send to a HME account, I get a bounce. Apple receives and accepts the email, verifies DMARC/DKIM&SPF, but then when apple's servers forward it, the final server bounces it as spam, and apple pass that back to the original sender. So we can't email people who used the feature.
2. In the bounce email from Apple it reveals ... the "hidden" email address! 👍 way to go, Apple!

Hey #openSource #exim / #exim4 users **NOW** is a good time to apply a #security fix for your exim. Released 2 hours ago. If you use #debian, the updates are in the repos already.

Today I launched my first #backdrop #backdropCMS site, as #CiviCRM migration strategy away from Drupal 7 for a site that used a lot of drupalisms.
Today there's a security update for Backdrop, so I learnt also how to do that!

I like Open Location Coordinates AKA #olc #plusCodes as these are a compact, readable easily sharable open way to identify global coordinates.
There's 2 renderings though, a full one and a version that's abbreviated but needs a locality name.
The long one is great, the other one is useless because an app would need a massive db of placenames.
Guess which version #googleMaps gives access to...

The #hmrc #selfAssessment tangle of tech is such a mess. The only source of authority seems to be to phone them up, wait 30 mins on hold, then another 5 while you have to wait for a text to allow you to login.
The android app sent me a notification that I had a message. Followed it through to a statement from months ago, wanting money. Logged in online: says "you have nothing to pay", but is missing 2 recent statements.
What a shambles!

> "If #machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine owners successfully lobby against #wealthRedistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with #technology driving ever-increasing inequality." Professor Stephen Hawking

Big tech doesn't want people visiting other websites bc it takes eyes away from their ads. Hence in-search answers which are marketed successfully as useful - my kids hate having to visit a site to get an answer. Then you get to a site and you have to fight a slow loading complex cookie policy with #darkPatterns (and sometimes dodgy legal nonsense like #consent for #legitimateInterest). But mostly we only need these things *bc* of the same companies that benefit from people not visiting our site
