I looked at Purelyemail recently and it looked attractive for what it does and what it provides for a low price of $10 a year (compared to Fastmail and others, which can be quite expensive for more than one user/mailbox). But the fact

Not GP. I personally don’t bother to look further if the homepage doesn’t have a pricing link on the top or on the menu or in the footer, because it seems like the site wants to hide key information from a potential customer. I couldn’t fin

One of the comments on the issue [1] says: > My reasoning on including this is that an email with a mozmail domain is never going to be a primary email and is always going to forward to some other address. This is laughable and sad at th

One issue I’ve seen with the Aura N95 is that the straps are flimsy and snap after several days of occasional use. I wish they’d make the straps stronger.

At the point in time I’m writing this, this post is flagged, and I don’t understand why. Mozilla Foundation’s mission is for an open web, and I’d think that this includes asking more of platforms to be open and transparent in their decision

Gitless [1] has already been mentioned in another comment here. [2] That makes it easier to use git for those who are not as experienced or haven’t learned about the internals of git. For a different model (and other types of workflows), co

The MacPorts approach is not horrifying or worse. This blog post [1] from April 2019 makes a good case for MacPorts and against Homebrew. [1]: https://saagarjha.com/blog/2019/04/26/thoughts-on-macos-pack.

Like you, I have domains registered for 10 years and extend it every year so that it always remains at 10 years. If you switch registrars, your domain validity continues as before. Your registration information is with the registry for your

A lot of comments here are wondering what Firefox will do and if uBlock Origin would be made useless in Firefox like it would be in Chrome (once Mv3 is implemented). Short answer: Firefox is adopting various parts of Mv3, but will continue

If you start using Firefox now, you may probably better appreciate it (especially if you also look at other features and extensions like Containers).

Desktop does have secret chats, but it depends on the client app that’s used. The secret chats are not synced across devices though.

This was an interesting read. Thanks for sharing the template repository too. The part about “Writing one sentence per line” made a lot of sense for the source text and for diffs being easier to handle. Overall, the process of writing text

I read this with great frustration, and felt glad when I saw that the issue was resolved. I can only hope that whenever Tim Cook needs to transfer such emails to someone higher up, there’s also a strict mandate that the root cause be addres

To add to those points, one day you (the person with self-hosted email) would die and your family will be left without emails sometime soon and no way to get their widely used addresses back. Choosing a medium or large third party provider

This seems one sided. Why not hide the “like” count too and make both like and dislike counts visible only to the creators while using the individual action of each viewer for recommendations? I don’t understand why a dislike brigade could

Sounds like you were migrating from one Android phone to another. Try the same with iOS and you wouldn't even have any backup option to try out. The loss of older messages is the worst thing that a chat app could have, but it's st
