Yeah. I found that post after I, too, was banned.

Ctrl+F: “thread” “conversation” zero results

I feel like people have forgotten how email worked before, when webmail providers were emulating the desktop client model of “received messages go in Inbox, Sent folder is for sent.” Gmail’s conversation view was shockingly intuitive, one of those “why hasn’t it always been this way?” things that feels so obvious in retrospect.

It’s worth noting that a number of other providers now sell S3-compatible storage services that are completely separate from Amazon, but let you interact with them using any of the S3 tools that have sprung up.

I think you might be looking for something like OpenSnitch.

Thanks, deleted my comment. I saw a second person on the thread who had the price quoted to them, but I didn’t see context on whether or not they were getting a mobo replaced as well.

Whose entire life was in a… what?

I think we’re focusing on different aspects. My comment was limited to the way main menus worked — “Play feature” or whatever would just about always be the pre-selected option. I was replying to this:

Those old DVD menus that wanted me to mess with extras sucked.

99% of DVD menus would have the “Play movie” pre-selected, letting you activate it with a single press of the Play or Select button.

Possibly my light/dark mode scripts. They change my Plasma theme, which is honestly most of the job, but also set the matching GTK theme, set the new theme in running Konsole sessions, do a bunch of manual sed edits on conf files for applications that don’t follow system theming, finally restarting plasmashell to clean up the occasional edge case where a tray icon is supposed to follow the theme but doesn’t.

FreshTomato still supports these devices.

It’s not for everyone, but if “collection of perl scripts” sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.

I don’t think these things are universal across software, but you can often put -f on its own, separate from other flags, or get in the habit of using the long --force flag.

Too many options to remember and look up every time

This is a good use case for shell aliases. If you can identify a few of your use cases, you can give each bundle of options its own command.

Ctrl+F’d for this.

I agree with this, but in open source there’s an extra layer of complexity: the “I don’t care about market share” dev attitude that’s sometimes admirable and sometimes frustrating.

Agreed, it’s such a poor summary of the article that I can’t tell if it’s an intentional strawman argument.

Have you considered that it might not be necessary to feel one way or another about the whole of a person? You can limit yourself to having opinions on individual things they do, and these don’t have to be reconciled.
