Dear devs,
It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. 😡
Especially webapps they need to manage their healthcare.
(I am in fact using one of the browsers on this list, your code just isn't able to tell.)
Please boost for basic education.

OMG, the South Park episode about ChatGPT is making me wheeze with laughter and I'm only 5 minutes into it.
What should I learn & test on Oracle Cloud next?

@rlounsbury @Gartenberg Zune would have been great in 2002 when MP3 players started becoming popular instead of when smartphones were becoming popular. I did love that Zune Pass with 10 songs to keep per month. A great deal!

"If the recent Twitter debacle has taught us anything it is that platforms aren’t stable. Tying your online identity to a corporate-owned website is fine for a while but in the very long run anything posted there is, ultimately, ephemeral....The only thing we can really rely on on the web is the web itself.
It is ubiquitous enough to be mostly decentralized, has backward-compatible standards that are mostly agreed-upon, and is mostly resilient to attack..."

That's what I was going to say! Email list servers have been good for private collaboration groups for decades. Install one of those and you're set for many future decades. https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/

@j2inet I need to learn Linux-based alternatives like DaVinci Resolve, Blender, and Houdini, I think. :-\
@tristen Of course not. No more updates on that computer then.

@t3kk Autocrypt is a newish standard of exchanging encryption keys and then enabling content encryption. Thunderbird 68 has a plugin for it. https://autocrypt.org/dev-status.html Also I like the TBsync plugin for Exchange/Caldav sync which didn't work with the latest TB for a while (now it does though).
@vkc My guestbook is preserved back to 1997: https://adamlein.com/guestbook.php?page=11&SubCategory= Haven't rebuilt the comment posting yet though.
