looks very good! gonna import my postman collection and give it a try. my collections in postman keep disappearing and reappearing since the required account update happened. glad there is an alternative now!
I agree that words like simply and just should not be used in documentations, but are people really getting upset about it? I couldn't imagine being this fragile
Think a little harder, then. It was written for a reason. They even bought a domain and hosted this one page, for a reason. You think they did all that because they were fragile?
gonna start reading the wheel of time today. heard many positive things about it and I just needed something that's not about technology to get my mind off work.
I kinda stopped reading as much as I used to since I got my first smartphone two years ago, but I am trying to change that
Great book series, I've read through it twice now. There is a stretch in the middle though that is notoriously slow but overall it is incredible. The world building is the best I have ever seen.
If you like them, I would also recommend Brandon Sanderson. He writes books almost as fast as I can read them
>Germans couldn’t even begin to imagine why being brutally honest would hurt someone in the first place! If the truth hurts you, isn’t that more your fault than the truth’s?
What? This is simply not true at all, germans aren't emotionless robots, of course they don't go out of their way and hurt the feelings of other people.
Kept reading after that statement and regretted it.
The author seems to have suffered a bad case of misunderstanding the "Berliner Schnauze"...
I, unfortunately, also read the whole linked opinion piece on german humor from the economist [0] which I almost disliked even more. I might just feel insulted (being German) but please: calling out "Instead of a raised eyebrow, we get full-body signals to laugh now." from the country that gave us laugh-tracks...
Not really, it's all about the legs, and the hands are mainly to keep the balance. Also women are lighter so they dont need to be that strong, it's all about technique
I agree! I'm frequently paying for software even if I won't use it after a year just to test how well it works. Unpaid is not sustainable. But having source code (Maybe GPL?) is also important.
If the choice is between paying with money and paying with my personal data, managing my e-mail is one of the things where I'm happy to pull out the credit card. (That's why my e-mail accounts are on places like fastmail instead of gmail.)
I get paid money for the software I develop too, after all.
For some of us, email is so important that we are prepared to pay a LOT for a really great client. I'm currently paying around $150/year for Photoshop - email is more important to me than Photoshop. For the right program, I would happily pay $99 for a major release. I think that's what I used to pay for Eudora many years ago.
Postbox currently only charges $40 for a lifetime free-upgrades license. In my case, they are definitely leaving money on the table, I would've paid a lot more.
What features of Postbox do you use that are not available in Claws (or derivatives) or Thunderbird? Serious question, I've love a better email experience.
In any case Postbox is not available on Linux, but I'd still like to know.
It's so long since I've switched that I'm not sure anymore, but Postbox tried to be more Mac-like and had native integration with macOS Contacts instead of separate address books. I think it had some filter rules Thunderbird didn't have, and faster indexed search.
But now, I use the keyboard driven Tagging & Quick Move features [1] a lot. They work a bit like Alfred [2]. To file a message in my Filtered folder, I type "v fil Enter" and by the time I've typed v, an Alfred-like window pops up that autocompletes the full folder names as I type - so by the time I get to 'fil', it's autocompleted to the right one and I can hit enter. Standard keyboard shortcuts too like j to junk, a to archive, etc. I'm sure Thunderbird also has these via extensions, but I like having it in the core product supported by the core developers.
There's a word count warning feature that I use a lot too, because I tend to type a lot. The word count turns red when I go over my suggested self-imposed limit, or you can set a timer for when you've been composing one email for too long.
EDIT: I saw you asked elsewhere about editing the From field, Postbox has a pulldown menu on each message you compose where you can choose from a list of profiles / aliases you create. Each can even have their own SMTP server details & default signatures & are separate from inbox accounts. You can switch signatures on individual messages too.
Thanks. In fact the time-limits on writing an email is a great idea! I should generalize that into a timer app for writing email, browsing HN, Wikipedia, etc.
Alfred looks interesting. Other than the workflows, almost everything it does is already integrated into KDE. However it looks easy to use and I will definitely check it out if I move to one of the company Macbooks. Thank you!
No problem for paying a good mail-client.
I use it every day and if it saves me time (e.g. conversiation view, or better search) i will pay for it.
Would be nice if a bigger company sponsors such a project, then a greater audience will use it and the Developer could concentrate on developing and not on selling.
pretty big words for someone who just posted this:
>"... Her baggage isn't even her own baggage; people have been attacking and hating her for decades, apparently only for having the gall to be an ambitious woman in politics ..."
while ignoring/not being aware about all the bad stuff she pulled off/wanted to pull off (i.e. war, making gay marriage illegal, destroyed documents ...)
The stuff she pulled off or wanted to pull off wasn't pretty, but nothing out of the ordinary in US politics. The stuff Trump has pulled off and wants to pull off is of a totally different level. You focus only on the mote in Clinton's eye, while ignoring the beam in Trump's eye.
Seriously, how do you, and clearly so many other Americans, manage to have such a limited view of reality? Do you understand how weird it looks to attack and hate someone for doing the exact same things that the guy you support also did?
