No raindrop feels itself responsible for the flood.

I love that, and I don’t think I’ve heard it before.

Thankfully I have plenty of popcorn lol. 🍿 help yourself to some if you’d like.

It’s not fun because I am a functional adult.

Lol, yeah. Covers pretty much all of my needs and most of my “wants”. Even have a Lemmy app (web based) on there.

It’s not that they’re going to convince me, it’s that it’s annoying they keep trying (likely by management)

Thunderbird beta (email), Schildichat (Matrix), bank app, several local web apps (home assistant, etc), Mucke (music), key mapper, Aegis (totp authenticator), Organic Maps, Etar (Calendar), DAVx (contact/calendar sync), traditional T9 (keyboard), MALP and Snapcast (home audio)

Yep! Most of my “apps” are just web app shortcuts or self hosted PWAs

Cat S22 Flip. Not without it’s quirks, but I like it well enough. Had to digital detox, and it was great for that.

The problem is most apps are just low-effort web app conversions.

If only that. Web apps are relatively well sandboxed. Most dedicated apps (that should be websites) are designed to harvest as much data as they can and spam you with notifications/ads.

Not gonna lie, it was. lol. That’s one of several reasons I decided to keep it as my daily driver. It’s technically a smart phone, though, I just had all the smart stuff disabled for that challenge. I’ve since enabled those back, but it still looks enough like a dumb phone that I can convincingly bluff with it.

That’s what I used to do, but a good portion of the time they’d continue their spiel to try to change my mind. Have only had to brandish the dumb phone once, but so far it’s got a 100% shut down success rate.

My favorite part of the 30 day dumb phone challenge I did recently: I couldn’t install your crappy app even if I wanted to.

A little over halfway through the challenge, was paying for my order at a local eatery, and the cashier started plugging their new app and rewards points and digital coupons and shit. I was like “I’m gonna stop you right there: flip phone.” and pulled it out of my pocket and brandished it like I was the sheriff of Luddite-ville.

Kinda like this, but “Flip phone!”

See edits: Push is present and totally works; enabling it is just very different from K-9

On K-9 Mail, it’s in Settings -> {Account} -> Fetching Mail -> Push Folders

On Thunderbird Beta, the “Push Folders” option should be in the same place, but it is totally missing for me.

Edit: If you go into Manage Folders and then Inbox (or any folder I guess), there is an “Enable Push” option. I enabled that, but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

Edit 2: Ok, the folder-level enable push seems to work now. I had to grant the Alarms and Reminders permission before it could run in the background. It didn’t automatically get or prompt for that, but granting that in app settings fixed it

Is there any difference, currently? Aside from the logo, I can’t see anything different from K-9 Mail.

One of the biggest draws is the ability to transfer from K-9 Mail to Thunderbird for Android

I literally just tried that, and it failed. LOL. Ended up setting up the account manually.

Edit: Also doesn’t seem to have the push mail option like K-9 has. It does have push, it’s just enabled very differently. Go into Folder Settings, select a folder (Inbox in my case), and then turn on “Enable Push”. You may also need to grant it Alarms and Reminders permission manually on newer Android versions if it doesn’t prompt for it.

Main phone:

I finally found the source file for that. I posted a screenshot of my phone months ago and people were asking for it, but I had no idea where it was. A little late, but I guess I finally delivered lol.

Backup phone:

In a new manifesto, OpenAI’s Sam Altman…

LOL. I jokingly asked a few days ago if well-adjusted people ever write manifestos, and the answer is still “no”.

Lol I didn’t either.

MythTV?

As a lifelong Thinkpad fan (even current gen ones), I would be seriously interested in this as long as it qualifies for bootloader unlocking. LineageOS on a Thinkpad-quality phone would be amazing and a welcome companion for my X1 Carbon.

Really, really wish bootloader unlocking was listed in the specs for devices.

!fuck_ai@lemmy.world

Seriously, we need the less carbon-emitting plants to replace the dirty coal ones, not come online just to power the AI hype :smh:
