Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service in c/opensource
[–] Flagstaff 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

lol, sadly nearly half of Amazon's income is from AWS; even if its entire marketplace went kaput tomorrow, it'd be fine because so much of the entire Internet depends on it.

Very cool! They did a great job, apparently.

Do you have any tips for a first-timer installing it for a few Gmail accounts?

Interesting, though I can't read the word above "socks."

I ultimately couldn't replicate it, but there was a weird time just a few hours ago when I was in one account and literally everything I opened in the feed opened in the other one, which then kept yielding this desync error so I couldn't comment (even after ). I'll see what I can do to reproduce it...

Which model is it?

Awesome! Now how about from our bodies? 🙈

AI hands and feet have sure come a long way!

Why? They've inspired devs through so many incredible design choices. Even the terrible-to-play NES classics laid groundwork for epic titles and legacies later on.

It's actually both; they are using the data for ML: Captcha if you can: how you’ve been training AI for years without realising it

What's a few alternatives to Facebook Marketplace? in c/demeta

TBH I'm not sure! But that's what pulled up when I looked it up myself...

Has anyone here tried Betterbird? in c/[email protected]
[–] Flagstaff 1 points 2 days ago

The thing is that I read about multiple instances of sometimes-severe email loss over the years from various Thunderbird updates, which BB purports to thwart. May I ask how long you've been using TB and what issues you've encountered? Hopefully you've never lost any data.

Does anyone recommend it instead?

Could we remove the "Broken communities have been fixed, report any issues to ategon" notice? (self.lemmy)

It's getting kind of annoying to keep seeing... and I don't know where else this should be posted or how to reach the instance's team, FWIW.

I just moved to TROM Search as my search engine, and wonder how long it'll last (search.trom.tf)
 

It is fascinating that the search engine changes domains every single time you use it. While I'm big into privacy, I don't understand all these intricate details, but it seems cool and has yielded pinpoint results so far.

I just learned about the vast network of https://trom.tf through... hmm, I can't remember any more, haha! But it was either somewhere in the Lemmyverse or on Reddit, perhaps in a comment on a post in /r/privacy.

This TROM endeavor looks incredibly ambitious, so while FOSS is always welcome, I'm not sure about how long they'll be able to last running so many different projects. It feels like it's trying to be an immediate Google replacement and I fear that those who run it may be biting off more than they can chew... so I'm just trying the search engine for now.

How do you show full comment text in your inbox, not just the first line? (self.summit)
 

Is it possible? I wanna be able to read walls of text straight from there, Reddit-style, and not have to tap each single one to see the full thing. Old Reddit also has a one-touch context button that can display your original comment (if the inbox content is a child comment) right there without leaving the inbox.

Best water filter? (self.buyitforlife)
 

I'm leaning towards Amwater, but am not sure.

If so, how did they take it (I'm guessing "not well"), and where do things stand now?

Is there an app that can mimic multireddits? (self.lemmyapps)
 

I thrived on daily reading of a few multireddits, which are specific clusters of the same subreddits, as my default view; I only went to the general feed for all of my subscribed communities every once in a while.

For example: https://old.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow+LifeProTips+dataisbeautiful

Is this possible on Lemmy?

What's your way to resolve sync conflicts? (self.syncthing)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Flagstaff to c/syncthing

Apparently, my phone (which is an intermediary across PCs) didn't sync properly and now I have a couple of sync conflicts of spreadsheets (specifically LibreOffice Calc's .ODS files). These are... kinda large tables I've got here, with multiple tabs.

Normally with .TXT files I can easily use VSCodium's file-comparison feature to instantly spot highlighted line discrepancies on both sides, but how might you resolve spreadsheet conflicts?

Is there no other way than to page down monitor-size by monitor-size in each file, Alt+Tabbing from one to the other and visually inspecting for changes every step of the way until you spot something (hopefully)? I can't think of any less-tedious way...

... apart from, hmm, I guess my own folly in not noting version changes at the top of each file. I guess I'm only used to doing that with actual code... but I may have to start doing so with all synced, regularly edited files...

Play Store is offering a $2 discount right now (self.playstoredeals)
 

Check your account; I'm not sure if this was targeted at me or if everyone got offered it, but I used the offer on Slice & Dice after weeks of repeatedly playing its demo and am loving it!
