@skullgiver Oh wow thanks! :) One program syncs my home Mastodon timeline, with all replies, to a Maildir. Dovecot serves that over IMAP. Sending involves a custom SMTP server which reads the mail message and creates a post from it.
For Mastodon it was all about converting statuses (toots? Posts?) into RFC 5322 messages. Using the status’ ID as Message-Id in the message header is handy. Mail clients do the heavy lifting of rendering threads thankfully!
@demesisx @UmbraTemporis Yes seems like picom is designed with resource-efficiency in mind. And actively developed: https://github.com/yshui/picom
@ripcord @LWD @loxo @Bizarroland Some will report that they don’t work in Firefox (or whatever User Agent it receives), but actually work just fine. In my regular browsing I guess I see this once every couple of months (Firefox on OpenBSD).
@valentino All of them; they're mostly the same! /jk But seriously try another OS: OpenBSD, Haiku, Serenity, Plan 9...
@hornedfiend @Seltsamsel That's a good question and got me curious. I had a look at Telemetry collection and deletion from Mozilla. You can enter about:telemetry in the address bar to see what Firefox is collecting (even if it is not being sent).
From the forum: "If I know IBM at all, behind the scenes it'll end up being a bunch of junior programmers doing the work, after the AI branded tech fails. It'll still be called Watson tho.." https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/ibm’s-generative-ai-tool-aims-to-refactor-ancient-cobol-code-for-its-mainframes.1495343/post-42133422
Seems like some good improvements to internals about which I'm not a strong enough programmer to understand.
Maybe. How many businesses are refusing cash? *Could* they refuse cash? The article does not cover this. I found this piece insightful: https://nitter.net/CBSMornings/status/1185527270125002752
@Canadian_Cabinet @possiblylinux127 @slacktoid Keep in mind that not all users are the same. For example, maybe some people find firewall configuration expressed as text in a file clearer than a GUI. My grandmother loves her iPad. I love my OpenBSD laptop. I find the iPad relatively user unfriendly - “I can barely see or control what my own machine is doing!” - but my grandmother would find my OpenBSD laptop very user unfriendly too - ”How do I see my family photos?”
