lol I feel like I’m living in a different planet. I’ve got leather loafers. I just pull the on with my finger—never considered they a tn be a problem. Boots, umm, have laces. I also wear sneakers—the only ones that have a crumpled back are those that I’ve knowingly abused by making them effectively slip ons (not untying the laces).

WTF is going on here??? I have literally NEVER known of or heard of anyone using a shoehorn. Even my grandparents. I live in the US. Is this maybe a niche thing in some other country????

Yeah wtf is going on. Can the WP no longer afford to edit anything?

You might say the same thing about 15 year olds…

I mean to be fair they are very cheap to purchase all things considered. That said I’ve still got my Kindle 3 I bought used on eBay and it’s still going strong after like 10 years I’ve owned it.

I mean, if you consider how much a study costs to get to the point of publication, the publication costs are peanuts in comparison.

100% spot on. I did this for many years, and the sysadmin stuff was actually a fun little hobby. There were many seasons in terms of deliverability. I only ran personal email, never a list or anything like that, my ip wasn’t on any black list, but from time to time emails wouldn’t be delivered, or they would start going to peoples spam folders. I’d get fixed what I could using google/outlook/whatever’s tools or reach out to the mail admin address. Many times deliverability would be fixed, but months later the cycle would repeat. Or worse, I’d get silently and suddenly banished to spam. There’s nothing more you can do about that (yes I had all the things to prevent it).

Ended up moving my mx records to fastmail and using them for email. It’s not much, if any, more cost than running a vps for email (well, if you only consider one user), but I’ve had drastically improved deliverability.

Long story short, email is terribly broken, but it’s a good idea to have your own domain so that you own your address.

Yeah, but it’s important to point out that the reason for that is that your data is encrypted at rest and they cannot decrypt it for you and your vanilla imap client.

They do have a decryption app for desktop that allows you to use your desktop email client.

Have you seen those bullshit rerelease editions? SAD!

 

Anyone have a recommendations for non plastic cones for pour over?

I usually use one like this (#2) for individual cups. I also use this larger one (#6) to make coffee directly into my large thermal coffee carafe when people are coming over. Being able to sit on top of the carafe is a great feature.

It’s been almost 10 years since I bought these so wondering what else people are using now.

 

Apologies if I’ve missed this, but it hasn’t popped out to me. Are there shortcuts one can use on a connected keyboard/trackpad that one can use to go back from a post to a community, for example? Like Cmd-[ or Cmd-⬅️? Or swipe with 2 fingers? If not, can this be a feature request?

Cheers guys and keep up the amazing work!

 

So Atlanta, it’s been a while since I’ve branched out, and we need such a post on Lemmy….

What are your favorite date night restaurants? Can be expensive or not. Established or hot right now?

 

For folks who move from /r/Atlanta which place will we use? This one or https://lemmy.ml/c/atlanta ? Thoughts?
