File > Options > Mail > Send Messages > "Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding" > Uncheck

But they arguably chose the worst default, the option to change this is so buried in 100s of other settings it might as well not exist for most users.

And by the way this option is not available in "New Outlook" 🙄

    Ownership remains the key advantage. Unlike earlier telecom providers that leased infrastructure or delivered service wirelessly, WJBTN owns the backbone fiber, the right-of-way, and the poles carrying the network. That makes it far harder for outside telecom companies to displace the service...

    Fundamentally, it’s about sovereignty. By controlling the infrastructure that carries internet traffic, the communities can govern and maintain the network according to their own priorities rather than the financial goals of distant providers.

    This is huge, what an incredible advantage to hold in a tech world that's so consistently enshittifying. I'm so stoked for them.

    Then, in a turn of events that rocked the communities, lead engineer Dirk MacLeod had a heart attack and died in July 2019. “My chest was ripped open,” Nakogee says. The grieving company shut down for the summer.

    After MacLeod’s death, one line worker quietly took it upon himself to finish extending fiber to distribution points in Fort Albany

    Their resilience in the wake of this is outstanding too. A passion-project like this might have easily gone to the vultures, if not for the way northern communities rally.

    I no longer think ill of hackers that don't even try to responsibly disclose vulnerabilities any more. The glory days of bug bounties, or even easily getting in contact with a human being who cares, are long past.

    It would be nice if there at least existed a non-profit organisation that accepts vulnerability "donations", who are well versed in jumping through the hoops, and who would be taken more seriously than the average anon, with the promise that any bug bounties go to a worthy charity.

    I don't see a program like that taking off now though, unless an existing org like CVE were to set it up.

    It breaks my heart to see American conservative toxicity rubbing off on Canada more and more as I age.

    It feels like all I can do is warn my kids against the propaganda they'll face growing up, and hope things reverse course as Canadians become increasingly disenfranchised with the government to the south.

    Only half joking - look for estate sales in your area, old folks are leaving behind all kinds of magnificent things that their children don't care about.

    Probably mostly quaint things, though. The stuff on that site is rad as hell.

    Some quotes that resonated with me:

    In any previous era, the quality of a piece of work was a more or less reliable signal of the competence of the person who produced it. A novice essay read like a novice essay; novice code crashed in novice ways. AI has severed that relationship.

    The skills of producing work and judging it were deliberately distinct, but accomplishing the work itself used to teach the judgment. The first skill now belongs, in large part, to the machines. The second still belongs to us, though fewer are bothering to acquire or utilize it.

    The slowness was not a tax on the real work; the slowness was the real work. It was how the work got good, and how the people producing the work got good

    The current generation of agentic systems is built around the premise that the human is the bottleneck — that the loop runs faster and cleaner without the awkward delay of someone reading what is about to happen and deciding whether it should. This is, in a great many cases, exactly backwards
