Posteo is pretty damn good, too.

There are two important points to note about this:

1. The Daily Mail is by far the most xenophobic mainstream newspaper in the United Kingdom. It's like Fox News, except you actually need to know how to read.
2. Under Project 2025, transgender people will be classed as sex offenders. You can see where this may be going. Bad news.

• I used to have an Xperia SP. One day, I decided to swap out all of the AOSP apps that came preinstalled for Google's own offerings.
• I also used to use Yandex as my main search engine. I thought it was better than DuckDuckGo...
• I also used to use Yandex.Browser, Yandex.Mail, and Yandex.Disk. I'm also not sure I deleted my account...
• Just three years ago, I was using Opera. I had no idea it had become a Chinese Chromium fork. I also used to use Maxthon, on occasion.
• I used to use Opera VPN.
• When I was about 7, I ended up with a bunch of malware on my laptop (turns out McAfee is shit). I recently discovered that my IP range briefly ended up on some blacklist around that time, so I assume I had become part of a botnet.
• Around this time, I used Hola VPN.
• Until fairly recently, I had multiple ad and tracker blockers installed at the same time. This is obviously overkill, and increases your fingerprintability.
• I also used to manually change my user agent to Chrome on Windows 10, despite the fact I was using Firefox on Linux. The mismatch also made me more fingerprintable.
• I used to have Do Not Track enabled, which can be used to fingerprint users.
• I used to use my browser fullscreen, meaning my screen resolution could be calculated and used for fingerprinting.
• I used to use Outlook.com as a client for my email, which was privately self-hosted by my dad.

Yeah, I used to be pretty insecure, huh. My privacy journey was quite fast, and began around 2020. My uncle had given me a ThinkPad and a DVD of Linux Mint. I was stuck at home for most of the year, I started watching a lot of sociopolitical comedy videos, and eventually one thing led to another and before you knew it I was wearing the metaphorical tinfoil hat.

Nowadays, I'm doing much better.

Well spoons isn't exactly known for its fine dining. Don't get me wrong, it's a great place to go for a few cheap pints, but it really shouldn't be anyone's favorite.

Wait, what's wrong with spoons, besides the obvious?

Glad I changed my stack over a few months ago:

• Proton Mail → Posteo
• Proton VPN → Mullvad VPN
• Proton Drive → Syncthing

I'd also recommend KeePassXC in place of Proton Pass, and Cake Wallet in place of Proton Wallet. However, these were both Proton services I never used anyway.

Well, at least the No. 1 spot is a trustworthy VPN.

Fuel? Hydrocarbons like that are quite combustible. It could also be incorporated into a lipid or something.

Fossify SMS is better, since SimpleMobileTools went proprietary after an aquisition a few years ago.

Where am I going to get my £17 vodka now?

Fucking hell, Loops is RIGHT THERE!

Ah, my chemistry department taught me the other way around. I distinctly remember the phrase "methyl-ethyl" being thrown around a bit. Additionaly, we were taught to be more specific about isomers, hence me using butan-2-yl instead of isobutyl.

Then again, scientists often disagree strongly about things like this, so we could both be right. Also, there's a good chance this is just the A-Level specification being weird. I left my old textbook at my student flat, though, so I won't be able to check for a couple of weeks.

I could also be downright wrong myself.

As for the hydrogens, I had assumed they were not present, and that this lossane molecule is an ion with a charge of -50. This is borderline impossible to achieve in real life, of course.

Fixed the charge on your 3-methyl-3,4,5,5,6-pentaethyl-6-butan-2-yl decane ion, aka lossane.

(It's been a while since I last did chemistry, so apologies if I messed up the nomenclature a bit)

Luigi has done his part. Let's hope the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom are ready and armed.
