Question for you!

I'm building a static website and thinking of using formspree.io for the contact form. Got any alternatives to recommend for the task?

They seem like a good service, but their use of Google's recaptcha makes me want for an alternative.

This is the PineTime. A companion for your Linux smartphone, and new side-project of ours. More news coming in the future...

Some older, inactive Mastodon accounts are being turned into spam accounts.

Every account I've checked has been in the haveibeenpwned.com database, i.e. the spammers are using breaches from other websites and randomly trying e-mail/password combinations to get access to those accounts, insert spam links in the bio and start following people.

An exceptionally simple defence against this happening to you is using two-factor authentication. Check your account settings to see how to enable it.

Forbes’ Linux Laptop Buyer's Guide 2019 “If you want to embrace a company that is decidedly privacy-conscious and strictly embraces open source software, Purism's Librem 13 and Librem 15 laptops are worth considering. They feature hardware kill switches for webcam, Wireless and microphone.” forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelh

#GMail is harmful to e-mail ecosystem; its antispam blocking policy matches too many valid messages as spam.

It blocked LastPass email leak warning email, because it contained "a link" to a leaked site.

It blocked an e-mail from goverment agency addressed directly to me.

It discriminates all non-gmail servers, and it's pretty much impossible to own a private SMTP server these days, because GMail will classify everything as spam.

It's not how e-mail should work.

Consider dropping GMail.

Did you know that with a Librem One account you get end-to-end encrypted chat, VoIP, and video calling used by millions of people librem.one

You may think your Gmail account is private, but Google disagrees. Google told a judge that users have "no legitimate expectation of privacy." cnet.com/news/google-filing-sa Proton = privacy.
