Yes, like sorting mails into folders except they can be in more than one at a time. It’d be nice if IMAP were updated to support that sort of thing sync’d on the server.

Right, I speak English natively but have been learning French.

On doit apprendre le français (ou l’allemand) pour rechercher le web sans indices Américains? Défi accepté!

I like the “tags instead of folders” approach though. It’s been a while since I checked; can a normal IMAP-based account + email client like Thunderbird do that these days?

Well that sucks.

In that case, sell your Samsung secondhand and then start over with a device from a company that’s less abusive.

I don’t know yet; I’m about to email the media coordinator to find out what happens when I refuse to sign the form.

My kids already have Raspberry Pi 400s (might upgrade them to 500s soon), and I have about half a dozen other computers (not including old retired stuff or my pile of other Raspberry Pis), all running Linux. This house is not at all lacking in technology, and I no longer tolerate proprietary shit in it.

What’s really fucked up is that the school district makes all these decisions basically unilaterally – not just for Chromebooks, but for other proprietary nonsense like ClassDojo and Remind and MySchoolBucks – and just assumes every parent will be cool with unquestioningly entering contracts with all these third-party entities. And even worse, most parents are cool with it!

Let’s be honest: if Google’s spam filters were biased they’d be filtering and suppressing Democrat emails, not Republican ones.

A sit-in strike instead of a walk-out? Sabotage? IDK, just spitballing here.

“Pre-determination,” I’m guessing.

I’m about to go to Dragon Con, and I’ll be interested to see how many folks will be cosplaying as Luigi is this year. I’m betting it’ll be at least tied with KPop Demon Hunters cosplay, if not even more popular.

Never mind AI; drive-throughs themselves are absolutely shit-tier urbanism and ought to be outlawed.

If you don’t look for avenues around literally everything “default”, you’re being scammed. They don’t, so they will be.

And this is why the real solution we need is enforcement of anti-trust law, not mere individual boycotts.

You should return your Samsung for a refund and then start over with a device from a company that’s less abusive.

All the non-Google entities that build stuff on Android need to start banding together instead of siloing themselves. If AOSP is being closed, they need to create a non-profit replacement for it.

It’s 2025. Many cheap, low-powered devices have more than 2GB of RAM at this point.

You can stop using all Google products.

My public school – that my children are basically required by law to attend, remember – is badgering me to sign a consent form so they can have Chromebooks.

This fight is a lot fucking larger than mere individual boycotts!

Don’t get me wrong, Trump is 1000% a corrupt grifter who’s never seen a bribe he didn’t take. But I think there’s more (and less) to it than that. If you look at his pattern of making decisions based on whatever he saw on Fox News most recently, it’s increasingly clear that he’s just fucking losing it and becoming dangerously suggestible as his dementia progresses. Any other leader with access to have a one-on-one discussion with him plays him like a damn fiddle.

You forgot the scare quotes around “oppressed.”

They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.

Hypocrisy is a feature because it serves as a demonstration of their power and impunity. The message is “of course we’re being blatantly hypocritical; what are you gonna do about it, peasant?”

If they’re being removed for cause rather than lack of work that’s a firing, not a layoff. Why is he lying?

IIRC, the Mazda3 was based on the same platform as the European version of the Ford Focus
