Chrome on the Mac uses less battery than Safari

It's one of the most pervasive common wisdoms shared all over the web, no matter where you go - it's one of those things everybody seems to universally agree on: Chrome will absolutely devastate your battery life on the Mac, and you should really be using Safari, because Apple's special integration magic pixie dust sprinkles ensures Safari sip

From 2015 to 2019 I was a sex addict, sleeping with 5 to 10 men a week. I discovered a lot about myself. But I mainly discovered that single men of any age mostly live like teenagers, in squalid flats full of dirty washing-up, massive televisions, and random guitars/drum-kits.

Just discovered that @thunderbird mail filters won't actually filter anything on any folder other than Inbox (even subfolders inside Inbox).

So all my "Delete after 1 week/month/year" rules weren't deleting anything, causing my mail to balloon out of control.

Does anyone know a way to get #Thunderbird to filter stuff in folders? I see old threads about extensions and arcane about:config settings, but nothing that seems to apply to current TB.

1000 fedipoints for the first correct answer!

in reply to Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

It might be able to help with moving emails to the trash, but what I'm really after is not just automatic deleting of emails.

I'm after being able to use mail filters in my folders.

That would let me do many, many things beyond just deleting. For me personally, I set up filters to change tags, to forward when they're marked todo without being done for a certain length of time, to mark read/unread and more.

Filters are/were the #1 feature of #Thunderbird over webmail for me.

David Airlie, Red Hat kernel maintainer, about the Rust-for-Linux drama: "if people start acting as active roadblocks to work, rather than sideline commentators who we can ignore, then I will ask Linus to step in and remove roadblocks"

People who let their trees, hedges, shrubs grow out to block the public footpath are making life difficult for blind and vision impaired people as well as wheelchair users. You see this obstructive growth yet you blithely ignore it every day. Stop being selfish and cut back.

I have turned off automatic app updates on my phone. I save them up and do them all in one big chunk. Watching the list of apps download and install their updates feels satisfying to me, in the same way those videos of mowing overgrown lawns do.


Tři roky s nizozemštinou

Do Nizozemska se lidé často stěhují proto, že je to jedna z mála zemí EU, kde se dá snadno domluvit anglicky. Při nejmenším ve velkých městech to určitě platí a ve svém okolí mám i pár kolegů, kteří se ani po víc než deseti letech pobytu jinak než anglicky…

Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
