for per-contact email, I've settled on Proton Pass, $36/yr (free is limited to 10)

The Italian tech holding company Bending Spoons, has developed a reputation for buying tech companies past their peak and aggressively cutting costs.

Layoffs followed many of those deals. In September 2024, just months after being acquired by Bending Spoons, WeTransfer laid off 75% of its staff.

Today I have learnt about the deliriant history of the ultra-far right ex professor Enoch Burke.
The summary of the history is that while this guy was professor he refused to call by her new name a trans student, was finally fired, but keeps going to the school he was fired from in *2022*, and he has been arrested a number of times.
You can learn more about this case in this article from The Irish Times:

I generally hate buying new computing devices and try to make them last as long as possible. I bought a used/refurb iPad 5th Gen in 2022 for $199 and got 2 years of solid use before I upgraded to a 6th Gen in 2024 (for $170) so I could use an Apple Pencil.
I then put the old 5th Gen on my trainer bike as a video player and it still works great.
But sadly, two years in the 6th Gen now has dead spots on the screen. I may need to replace it.
