  • I'll note that a number of groups and forums send mailing list like emails (google groups, django dev being a big one) and that notifications can be threaded from places like Github with the right client.

    Thunderbird has good threading.

    Roundcube webmail is also capable here. Though when I have had it working it didn't include sent messages... which is not great in my mind.

  • Thunderbird has good features for mailing lists and threads.

  • You don't need special docks in KDE, its all configurable through the default desktop settings. You have enough knobs to make it look like anything.

  • An interesting caveat I've found for self-hosting is that getting server hardware in Canada is harder now that several companies, most notably NewEgg, have decided that any equipment that might have a business use case requires a business account and license, meanwhile Americans can still buy things like rackmount hardware no issues.

    You can still get rackmount stuff on Amazon, but fuck Bezos. I'd like a better option. I've found some places like AVADirect that will ship to Canada, but not any Canadian businesses that sell that stuff to normal Canadians.

    That would be an interesting list.

  • Sounds like you're into guilty until proven innocent, which is pretty warped.

  • I tried to recreate the emoticon you used, but this was the closest I could get with the available options.

    (づ•̀ω•̀)づ───==≡≡ΣΣ

  • You fall into gravity wells, they don't suck you.

    Best way to understand is to get the mental image of spacetime as a 3d sheet like grid, where each object pushes down on it and creates a pit, or well. The bigger the object the deeper the well, and the more force you will need to stop yourself from sliding towards the object and propelling yourself back up the slope.

  • This is an excellent summary of something I've failed to explain to younger folks. Thank you.

  • In Plasma 6 there are a crazy number of ways to skin and change the look.

    This video was a good way for me to learn some of the basics. https://youtu.be/R6C-RNhHMrE

  • Wow. In Canada you cannot get prescription renewals any other way

  • I'd rather use SMS than sign my rights over to Meta. They can use that if they can use facebook or whatsapp.

  • KDEs vision is letting users have the experience they want. You can have a vision without limiting configurability and cramming bad UX down the pipe to your users.

  • I just don't communicate with anyone that insists on using products that have user agreements I don't agree with. The amount of bullshit user agreements are getting overloaded with makes them dangerous legal contracts that can have serious implications on your rights. Just ask the family whose daughter died at a Disney theme park and when they tried to sue Disney tried to force them to arbitration because their son had tried Disney+

  • I used Gnome Shell 3 for 4 years before giving up on it and going to KDE.

    The huge differentiator is that KDE may look like windows OOTB on most distros, but if you want you can easily make it look like Gnome, Mac, Unity.. whatever. The panels and menus are infinitely configurable.

    And that is why this meme is dead on the money. I've come to hate dev teams that have "visions" that they cram down users throats regardless of the experience. And the irony is that Gnome 2 used to be much more configurable than older KDE versions.

  • I can empathize. I left it for so long my medical health dictated I do it or I don't work... so. There's that.

  • As @Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works brought up in his comment, the FODMAP umbrella is huge and everyone is a bit different. Its a process of removing them all and then adding things back slowly and carefully, trying them multiple times to see and test your tolerances. Also, white onion and the white parts of green onions and leeks are bad, but the green parts are ok and much lower in fodmap, so you can get onion flavour other ways. Green pepper is another one that can be combined to give this flavour with a lower fodmap footprint.

    So much food.

    Movies @lemmy.world

    The Muppet Christmas Carol is still the best movie adaptation of the story because Michael Caine is a perfect Scrooge.

    Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

    Star Trek Social Club @startrek.website

    Was the planet where "The 37's" were found ever given a name or revisited in STO or in Novels?

    As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

    My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

    politics @lemmy.world

    This is the most unfiltered article I've read from The Atlantic... by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.

    Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.

    The Dad Trilogy

    Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.
