Geary[1] is one option for Linux users. It stores all messages in a giant sqlite database and models labels by "tags". It's still defintely wip though. I do recall reading somewhere that these days Thunderbird does deduplicat

Those situations are incomparable. Even if 100 cars are speeding, a cop can only pull over one driver at a time (although I've heard in some states police can do a bit better by patrolling in groups). But apps aren't speeding past

As some who normally uses GNOME, I actually like apps to have distinct visual identities so that they are easy to tell apart at a glance. When using VSCode or Chromium I prefer their native title bars and modal dialogs, which integrate with

How about applications that are controlled entirely from their status icon, like dropbox or vpn apps? Fedora, which normally champions GNOME, is beginning to acknowledge that status icons are here to stay whether GNOME designers like them o

GNOME probably imagined it had enough market power to persuade app developers to change their design. Also GNOME likes to emphasize "distraction-free" computing so the designers probably thought status icons are too distracting fo

Despite Apple's warnings about "security" and "privacy", the 27% commission shows their bottom line is really about getting a cut.

At least they aren't putting up a pretense of "security"!

ZFS has a `recordsize` parameter that can mitigate fragmentation if tuned correctly for the workload. This allows zfs to perform pretty competitively on workloads that would cripple btrfs unless one disabled copy-on-write (and therefore che

Any reason for the downwote? If anything, this underestimates the risk since it assumes no difference in infection rates. If one normalizes instead by the actual number of unvaccinated cases and vaccinated cases as reported further down on

The Ontario dashboard for "Not in ICU" currently shows 739 unvaccinated and 2050 vaccinated. But since effectiveness compares rates, not absolute numbers, one needs to normalize those numbers by the size of each subpopulation. Sin
