Tesla and unfulfilled promises… Only slightly less an iconic duo than Tesla bad news and stock price going up.

I’m not smart enough to be a nerd.

Couldn’t organise a root in a brothel

Fair point about AI-generated comments. What’s your take on how this affects online discussions? Are we losing genuine interactions or gaining new insights?

I used to like Ubuntu LTS because it was just Debian that wasn’t quite as out of date, but more recent installs seem to suggest that you only get all the patches if you subscribe to their paid service? Not sure what the fine print is on that.

This box was turned on, Nextcloud installed, and never touched since (side from apt updates).

Yo momma so ugly, when she bought a Tesla the stock price went up

… This is a hilarious reference to the fact TSLA is a meme stock that makes no goddamn sense.

Why the fuck does Aussie zone block so many instances? You guys okay out there?

I’m not entirely sure we’re missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.

Nothing, cause I’d rather choose what to ignore on the fly rather than creating the same bubble I get stuck in on every other social media platform.

Well, thats one positive anecdote.

Here’s some negatives:

Everyone I know with a Samsung appliance has had a poor experience with it.

Why are they still popular? Why are people still buying them? Every product review gives major faults too (like catching fire!) and people are like “8/10 because I managed to put it out before by house burnt down”.

Meanwhile other brands are crucified for the finish song being too loud, or the door feeling plastic, or some other inane reasoning.

I love how Whirlpool has stuck to it’s guns with regards to staying text only.

It survived a world of phpbb, avatars, and animated GIFS and is now surviving a world of social media and “engagement”. It’s like Usenet with moderation and no binaries.

Helps that it’s fast as blazes too.

I just checked on Linux (Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Opensuse Tumbleweed) and the behaviour is the same.

If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.

This is using the normal search function (top of screen in current version). Quick Filter does not look at attachments at all by the looks. The “Attachments” toggle is only a has / does not have attachment filter.

Yes but I can’t search by the name of the attachment.

I just searched for text thats in an attachment filename and it worked - with a caveat. I have a filename called “PMASUP236 - Operate Vehicles In The Field.pdf” on an email. There is no reference to the PMASUP236 in any other part of any email.

If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.
If I search “Operate Vehicles” it returns that email (along with a heap of others containing the word “Operate” and “Vehicles” in any order).

Admittedly this is on Windows at work, though I do run Thunderbird on Linux at home. Will have to try it there to confirm.

They’re trying to make it a thing here. I refuse to participate.

I’m paying for a menu that has your decent wage built in already, I’m not gifting free money on top for just… doing your job?

Also wtf servers in places that do tip… you turn my words in to an entry in a tablet (or perhaps a piece of paper), then carry the food that other people created / prepared / transported / cooked all of 30 steps from the kitchen to my table and expect 20% of the bill? Insanity.

This is absolutely fascinating to me… That someone would go out of their way to make a public profile for people to view, but then expect to be notified whenever someone views it.

What’s your goal with knowing who looked? Is it so you can return the favour and if it’s a profile you find attractive start hitting them up for drinks after work? If it’s a more powerful person in your industry, to start weaseling an invite to the exclusive country club they are part of? To see if it’s some rube you can sell a box of widgets to? To climb the corporate ladder by mimicking their achievements?

FYI I just looked at your Lemmy profile. And I reckon I might do it again in a moment. Probably even take a screenshot… for later.

You analogy is terrible.

A better one is handing out business cards everywhere you go but then expecting to know who looked at them and when.

Are you in marketing? This smacks of tracking links on emails so you can start ringing any customer who clicked on your spam because now they’re a “lead”.

Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.

Don’t really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox’s work and then releases it later.

I want a Google and Apple alternative and I’d rather support it at the top of the chain.

You think a public LinkedIn profile - full of information curated and posted by the user with the full intention that it be seen by the public - is the equivalent of a private residence and personal phone line?

I used to use it when confirming contact names and positions for people who requested work from our company.

But all I want is to see Joe Bloggs (ah yes, he spells it with two Gs) works at Widget Co, and they are indeed the technical manager. I’m not there to make friends or recruit people so I don’t want them seeing I’m looking them up.
