Best of luck my friend

🤷‍♀️ I was using mutt for both smtp and imap in 2002, don’t know how long before that it worked — but at least since then.

… what? mutt can talk imap and smtp natively, I don’t know what else you need to qualify as an “email client”

That’s actually a good point. I’m a TUI guy as much as the next one but I normally use full screen terminal and tmux instead of larping the 90s.

Deeply respect the hustle - I was also X-free in the early 00s - but I wonder what is the advantage of going raw tty instead of full screen terminal in a wm

Why alpine instead of mutt? It must be some 20 years since I least heard about pine or any of its forks

I mean I guess that’s sound advice if you don’t need to, I don’t know, print?

This but unironically. Can’t remember one time when I needed or even thought about using a cable in my iPhone tenure.

Yes but 99.9% of users don’t care about any of that, that’s what others were saying in this conversation.

Just to bring my personal pov: I’m a tech guy and I couldn’t care less about any of those features. My phone is an appliance like my dishwasher, i only need it to do well the few things it does for me and the iPhone does them incredibly well. Productivity work and fun is done on real computers. I don’t care if android phones can purr or do somersaults.

If you like to do complicated stuff on your phone then those things matter to you and you will deem iOS inferior, and that’s fine. But realise you are planets away from the average user.

You are technically correct (I know) but I would argue that distros that come with a certain DE usually have their experience built into it. Sure you can install gnome in kde neon but don’t expect anything to work, if it does it’s mostly by accident.

This is true for distros that cater to “simple” users that want to install and be productive of course, not for those like Debian or arch which cater to users who want to build their own experience.

Apple and wait for Asahi Linux to finish their driver support 🫠 don’t know what to tell you man.

I have never tried framework laptops - maybe they’re glorious, maybe they’re junk - but of all the laptops I tried Apple are the only decent ones hardware-wise (and software-wise too if you like osx).

I don’t know who else makes decent laptops nowadays, but Lenovo isn’t it, and most likely won’t be.

Good luck hoping for anything about Lenovo, they’ve gone down and down the shitter ever since they “split” from IBM.

No I don’t own a framework nor plan to do so, I’m just an average IT guy who is forced to choose between Lenovo and Mac to work, and after the third garbage laptop in a row bit the bullet and got the Mac. I also own an x200 and a t430 that i was in love with - nothing to do with the present day latrines masquerading as computers.

Screw Lenovo really. Hope for some decent competition to framework (I hope for that too, they are currently the only ones in that niche) but don’t hope for it from them.

The only right answer

Did anybody in the comments read the article? Rhetorical question

The article defines “live service game” as a game receiving regular updates for years, a definition which includes worldwide favourites like the Witcher 3 or BG3.

Taoism, Buddhism…

Isn’t that why good god gave us deserts? To build Salt Hill 8210 within the next two decades?

It looks like the comment thread disappeared so this will probably be a private answer. Whatever. No, accusing a Jew of supporting Israel is not a NEGATIVE generalisation unless you think supporting Israel is a universally negative feature. So no, still not antisemitism.

That comment may have been in poor taste but that ain’t antisemitism friend.

Jews normally have a strong sense of belonging and identity, and while a lot of Jews are opposed to the Israel government it’s not at all out of place for somebody with a clearly Jewish name to be biased towards the Jewish side of a conflict. You could be forgiven for thinking that.

Change the context a little bit - this is now a story about the Falklands war and somebody named “Barry Bugglesworth” is strongly on the British side. Are you surprised?

Now I’m not saying the guy was right. Generalising is inappropriate and generally not a sign of great intelligence, but it’s not antisemitism just because it’s targeted towards a Jewish person.

Antisemitism is a powerful word, let’s not wear it out.

Sure but then the recommendations would be based on a snapshot of my watch history and would not evolve further, which kind of defeats the purpose

I feel you (or your family). Call me whatever you want but I really like the algorithm, I get exposed to so much stuff I wouldn’t otherwise. 90% of my subs are channels I found through YouTube suggestions.

The missing recommendations for me is the main reason why I’m still using youtube instead of freetube, that and watched videos being synchronised across devices.

In the time before ubo fixed the popup I would browse yt on the browser, get recommendations and copypaste urls into ft.

For me it’s multi account containers.
