Flappy Bird being abandoned because its creator got nervous about it being "addictive," only for the trademark to be picked up by a crypto shill, really feels like some kind of heavy-handed satire

When I _am_ in a terminal window, I use Mutt, & for almost precisely the same reasons as Sylpheed.
mutt.org/

The biggest differences are that Mutt's founding inspiration is ELM, not Outlook Express, & it doesn't even pretend to render HTML mail at all, instead presenting them as file attachments to plain text messages. Mutt is also more extensible, more customizable, & fully keyboard driven.

What do I use for email? When I'm not in a terminal window, I use Sylpheed:
sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/

It's light, it's fast, it has keyboard shortcuts for common tasks, it resists do-everything feature creep, & its UI hardly ever changes between versions.

But it doesn't render received HTML mail except as very simplified text, & it won't let you send HTML mail except as a file attachment to plain text mail. This is not a bug, todo, or fixme. This is an incredibly useful & welcome feature.

This is probably the closest thing to actual journalism I've ever done.

You know the "creator-owned" streaming service Nebula? The one that content creators frequently refer to as "my streaming service Nebula" when advertising it?

Something about that always felt off to me so I did some digging to find the actual ownership structure of the company.

So there's an anti-LGBTQIA+ list of queer games out there, and today I found out Hypnospace is on it. First of all what an honor tysm!!!! So I did what any far-left-queer-socialist-cat-dad would do and stole it and turned it into a positive!

Enjoy this list of over 700 (!!!) games that make creeps just so so angwy - plz do read the disclaimer at the top:

So, would y'all believe I only just now noticed the Cohost financial implosion news? Day jobs are fun sometimes. Anyway, I'm still paying comfortably out of pocket for this instance in the Mastodon network, and it'll stay that way until I finally get off my rear and put out a tip jar or two for all you good fairy folks.

uspol, 9/11, oblivious disrespect 

The Socorro County Republican Party headquarters is proudly flying three flags today, but none of them are the Red White and Blue of the USA's national ensign.

Instead, one of them is an impostor standing in for the Stars and Stripes, one whose colors ran or surrendered, bisected by the thin blue line of police state authoritarianism, and saying "blue lives matter" as if the Black lives ended by cops didn't.

@mcc @leo You’re welcome.
Sponsored and nonsponsored suggestions can be disabled in about:config.

browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.sponsored
browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.nonsponsored

If those are set to true, then double-click to change to false.

Also, I changed this to false:

browser.preferences.experimental

I didn’t check the code so I’m not sure if it was removed or disabled, but Firefox Labs, including the AI chatbot junk, is gone now.

Two additional, minor notes:

- Firefox appears to have some problems with preferences occasionally resetting to defaults. I've spoken to two people who encountered this (and I believe one is maus I linked above). I am going to assume this is a regular bug and not an anti-privacy policy decision.

- If you are outside the USA, and want to preemptively disable address bar "sponsored suggestions" in case they're ever turned on in your area, instructions are here mas.to/@FizzyDaisies/113099538
