    My local garage has proudly informed me that they&#39;re working to save the environment by stopping washing the car when I bring it for service. But be of great joy - the money saved will go towards complimentary: Puncture repairs, seasonal, battery and brake health checks. Colour me simple but I&#39;d expect 3 of those were part of the service I pay £400+ for.... who knew. In reality - I&#39;m most annoyed on behalf of the lad who did the washing who I expect is now without work. Bastards.

    Well. I ended my Mullvad subscription and switched to Proton. Technically it&#39;s nowhere near as good as Mullvad but I could not stomach enabling the fascist to promote a far right party so here we are. Mullvad need to remove any financial connect with him and I&#39;ll gladly go back.

    #infosec Infosec people - I believe I&#39;ve seen that Whatsapp now allows signup with only a username rather than mobile # but I&#39;ve seen no analysis of what that actually means. Can anyone point me at something explaining what isn&#39;t being said? I closed all Meta accounts years ago for obvious reasons but Whatsapp is sadly the de-facto comms tool for many people I know and businesses.

    @GossiTheDog is there no way to use AI to generate activity that makes it seem like you are using it but let&amp;#39;s you do you in peace?

    I get an insane amount of satisfaction from the ever more desperate emails entreating me to &amp;quot;come back&amp;quot; to services I left. Mate, if you&amp;#39;d just stayed as what I signed up for I&amp;#39;d likely still be there even if prices went up by around inflation. But you all got greedy enough to make me look around. Sometimes I found a different provider and sometimes I just realised I didn&amp;#39;t need you. Don&amp;#39;t be evil FFS.

    I&#39;m not saying get rid of verification/encryption - I&#39;m saying make it a requirement if you want encrypted chat only. If you know enough to want that, you can probably deal with the keys shit. This vexes me so damn much.
