Last week my brother had to use my laptop and install Rstudio(for some University project) because his Mac was too old and slow. I was out of home so I had to instruct him through the phone and I could hear his awe while he explained how easy was to install the program. He told me laughing that he could see the pacman and started to cheer for it, this made my day.

The web is so fat nowadays that it makes Windows look slim.

When I first used Linux I loved Gnome for the intuitiveness and simplicity but I did not like the same thing you were saying. I guess it makes a good desktop for tablets lol.

A just encountered this theme and loved it. By the way, Ashen comes with Helix's themes so one just needs to :theme ashen inside Helix to test it.

There are times in which pronouncing the wrong way can save you a lot of hassle.

In many poor countries speaking proper English is a dead giveaway that you have money, so you can obviously see why that is undesirable. Even when that is not the case English is so deep in every other language that people use English words as they see fit without knowing the language at all, so one has to pronounce it like they do for them to understand.

Last case is to "avoid correcting someone" because one does not want to make the other person feel bad, or simply want to avoid the "how is it pronounced" situation.

Usually like the language of origin unless I'm around people that do not speak fluently or are not looking to learn.

For example, in Chile a lot of people mix English words in their day to day use and pronounce it incorrectly so I pronounce it the same way and go along with it.

I never pronounce words in my own language differently as I think its a missed opportunity on teaching someone a little bit. Which is also a thing I appreciate other people do to me as well.

Then a lot of time passes by when you encounter the song while shuffle mode is on and relive the song.

If you were a cartoon penguin you would use Slackware.

By the way the second one looks at the first one, the first one uses Manjaro and the second Arch.

Sorry I forgot the names.

Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don't use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

 

There is no Logitech Options for Linux but I just found this and solved my wireless mouse pairing issue plus I can now modify the DPI setting and more.

 

Its not the smallest, not the fastest but definitely one of the coolest.

Reading Emails (lemmy.zip)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by alecsargent@lemmy.zip to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
 

Hello Lemmy, I would like to know how do you all read email.

  • What email clients (or web UI) do you use? And on what platform?
  • What is something you don't like from the client?
  • What is something you like from the client?
  • What is something you don't like from the email service?
  • What is something you like from the email service?.
  • Is there a feature you would like your client implemented?
  • Do you have any particular method or workflow of going through and extensive inbox?

If you have any other comment it would be appreciated as well.


On my computer I use the web interface and on my phone I use Thunderbird. One thing I do is to delete or archive any message that does not need any action, and it has been a blessing, my emails are so much easier to go through.

That's all, thank you in advance.
