Original e-mail contained the following, where the full sentence is a link:

Hi,

I have important information for you (and about you).

Good luck!

The link was of a large block of text encoded into: https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=…

The amount of effort y'all go to for retention is absurd. I've already requested this once, and was ignored, now DELETE MY ACCOUNT.

Six questions to cancel my plan, which apparently is worth $69.69/month—funE JOKE—and it fails. I've already manually gone through more than a hundred pages of largely lost data (since y'all have been deleting it from the storage back-end for a while). When requested several years ago, you were unable to provide an archive of my data.

This behaviour, were I an EU citizen, would be actually illegal. (Data portability, right to be forgotten.)

Video of my attempt to unsubscribe, and the insane retention attempts: https://p199.p4.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/7KuXxpjm/dc375f4f-9efb-447f-9dfa-07b982fd4c8b.mp4

Excellent GTD task management, with quibbles.

A few of the keyboard shortcuts are a touch non-obvious, and in the early days I had some difficulty with task database corruption—I have a TON of items, projects, and areas. Those are the general quibbles.

The personal one: it amuses me to no end that while the latest update as of 2023-09-06 now includes vector graphics and dynamic scale, in 2009 they threatened to sue me when I demonstrated what might be possible using them by showing a tiny bit of HTML and CSS. It took 14 years to implement the functionality. 14 years.

"…or even talk about the fact that you copied the design, it has the potential to hurt us and cause damage to us."

What's a dit, and why is it red? I mean, I keep intoning to friends, "If it's free, you're the product." Reddit has just admitted y'all are worth nothing. At least, not enough to keep the lights on. Despite all of the content produced, and hours volunteered for curation. And software developers having professional teams writing software to extend the ecosystem.

Worth. Nothing to them.

Musk with Twitter has demonstrated that having a lying cheapskate fascist encouraging your one real revenue stream (advertisement) to abandon you may be an unwise life choice, and that not paying rent might not be a viable long-term strategy; but this is 🤬 obvious. You don't acquire a thing only to destroy it.

Or you do, and I'll herald Musk as the solution to our world's modern problems if Twitter is just step one, next up: Meta and Facebook. But… he's not actually that rich. Or that altruistic. Or that intelligent. He's just been coasting on the backs of the brilliant people around him. His "solo" ventures are quite literal

// console.* Polyfill and, in production, no-op replacement.
(function() {
	// An inspired polyfill for standard web browser user agent console interactions.
	//
	// This serves several purposes:
	//
	// 1. Add standardized methods missing from the local implementation to prevent code calling these from producing exceptions which halt JavaScript execution.
	// 2. Direct certain logging actions at a back-end server collection endpoint, for archival, analytics, and diagnostics.
	// 3. Squelch (mute or silence) "noisier" console endpoints to prevent user agents from exposing diagnostic information to end-users.

Create a new virtual environment somewhere you'd like to place these files.

python3.9 -m venv uploadtest
cd uploadtest
. bin/activate

Then drop these files in that directory. Install dependencies:

	// Watch for the page being scrolled.
	window.addEventListener('scroll', scrollHandler)
	document.body.addEventListener('scroll', scrollHandler)
}
