Why would you assume those are the most prominent search results, when they just said they were difficult to find?

> I regret getting a .io domain for my email and website; with the price increases, it's not far from $100/year.

$50 on Cloudflare where I have mine, so only halfway to $100, but still pretty expensive.

> Heck, I fondly remember my DOS days when directories and files were easily distinguishable, since the former ones were always written in CAPS.

That must have been the conventions of some third-party file manager (Norton Commander?), because DOS stored and showed everything as uppercase, both directories and files.

I finally gave up on using catch-all, and now only allow e-mail to addresses @mydomain.com that follow a certain pattern. If someone were to specifically target me and look closer at all the addresses I use, they would quickly figure out the pattern, but I see no reason why a spammer would do that.

*@mydomain.com worked fine for me for about 15 years, then suddenly spammers started doing exactly that, sending e-mails to random addresses. I would get countless copies of every spam message, addressed to completely random combinations of characters @mydomain.com.

Surely just knowing someone's account number can't be enough? Sweden's biggest bank uses your national identification number (equivalent to social security number) as your checking account number, and Sweden's national identification numbers are public information.

Every statement seems to need a disclaimer of honesty these days, usually in the form of "ngl".

Here in Sweden, 70% of bank branches have closed during the last 20 years, mainly due to the rise of digital banking.

Calling your own opinion objective is not a good practice. This is very much something you can have different opinions on.

I did some hopeful googling, and curing aphantasia seems to not be a real thing, unless you believe in magic. I'm disappointed.

It's still available here: https://archive.org/details/usetypes.

The original URL has been dead for over five years, so I don't know why a blog post from yesterday linked to it.

But if it is placebo, obviously he wouldn't notice any placebo change for local models, since he KNOWS he is using an immutable local model. That comparison only works if he doesn't know what model he is using.

That's like going to the pub and concluding that 100% of people currently alive are at the pub, because everyone you see is at the pub.

No traveler is going to observe me sitting alone in my apartment (hopefully).
