The circle of online interaction life (yes, before social media there was online interaction): Nick Wright on – Mastodon.ART
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/29
Low-tech beats hi-tech. It always does.
Oh, and it so much reminds me of BITNET relay, early internet and BBS/Fidonet days.
[Wayback/Archive] Nick Wright: “1993: I use BBSes for online i…” – Mastodon.ART
1993: I use BBSes for online interaction. Each BBS is run by some random person. They connect to a federated worldwide network. I keep my notes in .TXT files.
2008-2022: I use social networks like Facebook and Twitter for online interaction. They’re huge and popular. I use Evernote for my notes, which is full of features.
2023: I use Mastodon for online interaction. Each instance is run by some random person. They connect to a federated worldwide network. I keep my notes in .TXT files.

Google: inactive account policies
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/28
Reminder to self to yearly check all my Google accounts because of [Wayback/Archive] Updating our inactive account policies
we are updating our inactivity policy for Google Accounts to 2 years across our products. Starting later this year, if a Google Account has not been used or signed into for at least 2 years, we may delete the account and its contents – including content within Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar), YouTube and Google Photos.The policy only applies to personal Google Accounts, and will not affect accounts for organizations like schools or businesses. This update aligns our policy with industry standards around retention and account deletion and also limits the amount of time Google retains your unused personal information.We are going to roll this out slowly and carefully, with plenty of notice:
- While the policy takes effect today, it will not immediately impact users with an inactive account — the earliest we will begin deleting accounts is December 2023.
- We will take a phased approach, starting with accounts that were created and never used again.
- Before deleting an account, we will send multiple notifications over the months leading up to deletion, to both the account email address and the recovery email (if one has been provided).

With Unicode symbols and the ever rising number of operators, C# sometimes seems steadily to evolve into APL
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/27
Finally someone phrased the feeling I had for almost a decade about the ever evolving C#: with the increasing number of operators and allowing Unicode symbols, it is slowly turning into something like APL: harder and harder to read for the majority of C# developers.
[Wayback/Archive] Matthew Crews on Twitter: “@buhakmeh Let’s be honest, we should all just be working in APL”
Via [Wayback/Archive] Khalid Needs A New Car on Twitter: “C# needs more operators.”
