I've used various open source email clients over the years, but right now, my email client of choice is Thunderbird, on desktop and mobile. When I installed the mobile app, I was pleased to find that I could create a QR code on the desktop that my phone could scan to set up my accounts there. Much simpler and quicker than manually entering all the account details.
One of Thunderbird's killer features for me is the Send Later add-on. I have it configured so that when I click "Send" on an email, it delays sending by five minutes. That gives me a chance to realise that I'd missed something, and edit the email before sending.
But it can also set a much longer delay. Sometimes I work in the evening, but any emails that I write then are scheduled to be sent the next morning at a more sensible time.

Florida schools plan to vastly expand use of AI that mistook clarinet for gun
Human review didn't stop AI from triggering lockdown at panicked middle school.

Would you be willing to skip upgrading your computer/laptop/smartphone for a year and give that same amount of money to Mozilla so they don't have to raise funds through ads or AI related partnerships?
one corporation and 841 random people giving a small amount? That can't be sustainable, they'll never fix the printer dialog that Linus ranted about on that revenue lol
@mWare @piggo I'm asking people to drop their prejudices and think about this from a different perspective
What if Mozilla was doing only the things that you like, but they are out of funds. Their options are ads, AI integration, etc etc to make money. Or raise it from the community. Known costs of developers, hardware, infra, etc to keep things going is many millions per year.
Would you volunteer to pay them so they don't have to turn evil?
Now let's pivot and pick another large open source project that you know in your gut requires a of funded developers to keep going. Maybe it's KDE and they're going to be forced to start including ads on the mainstream distros.
Are you willing to pay for KDE then? How much? What will it take for you to financially support these huge open source projects that you rely on and greatly benefit from?
even if the average ff user gave them $10 a year they'd be swimming in money. instead the average ff user hates them for making it possible to watch netflix
@prettygood @lain well considering somehow we're at the point now that Netflix is going to single-handedly destroy TV/movie industry, perhaps keeping people from watching it would have helped

TIL why Sun Microsystems (Bill Joy and all) bought an office suite company in 1999. 🤨
"In August 1999, Star Division was acquired by Sun Microsystems[81][82] for US$59.5 million (equivalent to US$112 million in 2024), reportedly because the acquisition was less expensive than licensing Microsoft Office for Sun's 42,000 employees.[83][84]"
- a) Updated it automatically circa 1 month ago; it lost all my containers and sessions. I think it restarted empty.
- b) Updated it automatically about 5 days ago; again it lost all my containers and sessions, and restarted with my REALLY OLD windows and tabs from before (a).
Neither update lost my bookmarks or anything critical. I just have to re-do my logins in the appropriate containers; no big deal, but it's annoying.
Wildeste Weihnachtspackliste überhaupt - Familienbesuch, Skiurlaub und Congress in einen Rucksack. Immerhin nehm ich dieses Jahr nicht noch einen Weihnachtsbaum im ICE mit. 🙈 #39c3
I'm trying to decide whether I should invest in a Raspberry Pi. Thing about me is, I have everything I need. I don't know what to get this Christmas. My list is empty. As depressing as that sounds, it's not. I have come to accept that the stuff I have always wanted is right at my fingertips.
I’ve built a few Braille-related apps, and I’m learning the hard way how difficult this space really is.
Discoverability is hard, onboarding takes time, and even motivated users often need practice before the apps become useful. Some software concepts are innovative, powerful, but slower compared to hardware tools.
I’m still iterating and listening carefully to feedback.
I’m Stefan, an indie developer working on accessibility-focused apps for blind users.
My current work explores how light, color, and structure can be translated into sound and haptics without being overwhelming. A lot of it is learning by listening — to users, not just to code.
I’m here to learn, exchange ideas, and hopefully contribute something useful.
Happy to connect, and grateful for thoughtful feedback along the way.
Misión cumplida. Comida de trabajo, sin incidente reseñable. Conseguí evitar sentarme con la superioridad. La comida estuvo bien y el vino también. Luego, un rato en un pub, y ahí ya a tónicas por si acaso. De vuelta en taxi, que llovía por un tubo (después de todo, esto es Compostela).
A miserable complaint: You know what really grinds my gears? When people who speak English as their first language have no fucking clue what they're talking about and have the gall to correct you about something they're wrong about, about their own language.
I learned the fucking rules and grammar! I checked the spelling in the dictionary! I read the style guides and the outlines of prose and poetry, I studied the classics! Sit the fuck down and go home to learn your own fucking language you silly oblivious little git. 👿
I can relate. I especially dislike the "that word doesn't exist" some people would confidently assert, which just meant they'd never heard it before. I know my native language pretty well, but it wouldn't occur to me to say something like that; because I'm aware I don't know all the words.
Next investment for this zoom recorder on top of looking for external microphones? A windscreen for the stereo capsules. Honestly I can't really do any recording without one. I didn't realize how sensitve those mics were. good lord.
A Zoom H1 Essential accessoir kit does exist (labelled APH-1e), which contains a case, wind screen and power adapter. From my experience the wind screens aren't top notch, but better than nothing.
Kauai Coffee is a 3,000-acre farm on the south side of the island, the largest coffee farm in the US. Its lease is being threatened by the landowner and they may have to close shop.
I have mixed feelings about this because, a) The company provides jobs for the island, but b) Their coffee is absolute shite. They grow it in sandy soil near sea level and it tastes like dog's balls. Sorry not sorry.
@Scott Trying to make a speech synth. Whether it'll go anywhere or not is another matter, but I got a pretty clear "ah" out of it the other day and that's a lot further than I was expecting to get. So I have hope.
Checked freebsd handbook for jail docs and the linux jail is apparently just a regular bsd jail with linux chroot in /compat. That's lame, thought I could just run the jail with linux rootfs directly.
if you do it the handbook way you get the "benefit" of being able to just pkg upgrade on the host and all the linux-y packages installed into that compat/ get updated, thus the Linux jails mounting in the compat/ are affected, which I can see the appeal of but that's not what I want most of the time
you'll have to set a custom exec.start for the jail to NOT be the init, but something (don't treat it like a VM)
also you'll want to set the persist; option on the jail in case you want to start it up with no processes running so you can poke around and figure out what you need to get it working the way you want
@feld Figured it out, exec.start = "/sbin/openrc default". Can get in with jexec, though it randomly throws filesystem errors, ufs_rmdir: Bad link count 2.

@delta, i've seen some mention of call in some place (app doc etc), is it worked on (and if already working in the advanced / experimental, is it E2EE ?
i see in the settings, that we can set some server, does they need to be set to work or does the default configuration already work ? (i ask because it's not imediatly clear and i prefer avoir breaking it :)
also (wallpaper are like any other not shared with the other people we talk to i guess (just to be sure)).
Zrovna jsem chtěl napsat: "jak strašně hnusný? viděl jsi e-golfa?". No a očividně viděl. E-golf je hodně slušná #BEV ojetina na krátké vzdálenosti a každodenní dojíždění do práce.
vy jste nějací vybíraví. :) já jsem v tomto celkem konzervativní, takže si z evropských značek vyberu. Neurazí mě ani škodovky. Ale aktuálně mám jako vysněné EV Audi A6 e-tron s 95kWh baterií. 😍 Jen ta cena, jen ta cena... 😭
tak ja bych si taky vybral, takovy enyaq/elroq s novou aplikaci uz je dobre pouzitelny, ale ten koncernovy styl ze auto je "levne", ale pridas do neho koberecek a najednou stoji dvakrat tolik me vytaci ... proto jsem taky skoncil u insteru :D Navic potrebuju aby mi do toho duchodci mohli spokojene nastoupit a nebylo preprasene SUV
No hlavně viděl jsi co za to chtějí?! Za 150? Na ježdění kolem komína? Ideální. Ale jinak pardon, to je vykuchaný spalovák, to není designově eauto sauto.cz/osobni/detail/fiat/50…
Inzerát na prodej Hatchback Fiat 500E, ELEKTRO 82kW. Stav: Ojeté;, Elektro; barva Černá; tachometr 60 832 km; cena 169 999 Kč; prodejce MAMA CAR a.s. - okres Hlavní město Praha
za 150 asi dobrý, ale má to jen 24 kWh baterii. Jako jeté už spíš 20-22. Po půl roce s elektroautem už bych nechtěl nic pod 40 kWh ani jako městské auto. V zimě na krátké trasy si to vezme klidně 20-25 kWh/100 km. S takovou baterií to musí být v jednom kuse na nabíječce. Z praktických důvodů je dobré mít rezervu. Když zjistím, že se potřebuju otočit na druhý konec Brna a v baterii mám momentálně třetinu a nemůžu čekat, až se to nabije.
I bought a copy of Lolita like 15 years ago at a used book shop because it seemed taboo and I figured I'd see what the fuss was about, couldn't get past the first chapter, decided that anyone who has the stamina to read that book must be really warped
The first line of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women is “Christmas won’t be Christmas without presents”, while Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1850 short story The Good Fairy is about Christmas presents and, specifically, women trying to help each other figure out how best to navigate the task of choosing them. It is a mark of your columnist’s slow wits, then, that after 20 years o

It's finally new #WhatsApp app day on Windows for me. If you were thinking I would buck the trend by saying it's not all that bad, then I would have to seriously ask whether you've ever read any of my posts at all.
@cachondo I suspect a not insignificant number of those minutes have been spent hearing "For more options, press left or right arrow key to access context menu," over, and over, and over, and over again, and then a bit more.
Constantine ending persecution of Christians in 313 AD was really good. The previous policy of persecution under Diocletian was terrible. These are facts.
But, one can't help but lament the shift in Christianity as the faith transformed from being a deliberate rejection of the world to a path of ease and power. This is still true today as politicians and others misuse the name of Christ for their own ends.
We've just released Matrix spec v1.17 (hopefully our last release before v2.0!) including a few new MSCs and some exciting usability improvements for the spec website!
