ehwhyreallyon Gnome 40

Companies that charge you for their distribution are only charging for support. not really the distro, for this reason if you have a UI that shits itself on every corner it does not look good and ends up costing you more time and money, that's why it's largely driven by them.

ehwhyreallyon The Hijacking of Perl.com

I did not read this, But a mate I used to work with was getting harassed by debt collectors, He looked up the DNS Records and the domain registrant email was set to another domain. admin@suchandsuch.com, Well turns out suchandsuch.com had expired.

He bought the domain, set up the email admin@suchandsuch.com and reset the debt collectors main domain by requesting a transfer to another domain provider, it then sent an email to the domain record holder and he took over their domain.

Never use the same domain or another domain for registrant emails and buy privacy. use a gmail or your isp provided email.
