Each instance admin can check a box to require email. It reduces spam accounts and reduces work for admins because users can perform password resets themselves.

I may have gotten sucked into the .ml user’s what-about-ism, but I started off by just trying to point out the flaw in their logic.
System, personal choice, whatever – it doesn’t really matter because .ml user is trying to spin facts to support their agenda. I don’t know what their agenda is other than just being contentious.


Ah, so you do understand there’s a difference in why someone would chose one type of transportation over another.


I think your logic is flawed. The discussion is about a specific form of transportation. By your own logic, you should be suggesting that people fly everywhere.
I haven’t heard of v3, I’ll have to check it out.
Depending on the group using it, you can apply for a Community plan to enable mobile push notifications. I do wish Zulip would use UnifiedPush or something like that, or even allow your own ntfy setup, but I’m placated by the Community plan.
Zulip paywalls mobile notifications, but you can apply for a Community subscription which is free, and includes mobile notifications.
IRC is too difficult for normal people to figure out. Normals don’t know how to /join, /nick, and all that other stuff. People want a username and password, because that’s a standard thing that everyone knows.
Even Matrix is too complicated for most people.
IRC serves a purpose, but judging by the success of Discord there’s obviously something lacking from IRC.
I guess I see your point, but at the same time I don’t.
Tiny yes, but IMO getting the attention of computer gamers needs to be the next step if a Linux flavor is going to become a household name.
Even if it’s “SteamOS” that becomes the household name instead of “Linux” that’s still good overall. Maybe it’ll turn into how people used to say they had “Droid” smartphones, not Android.


Take a step back for a second. They’re complaining about Amazon, and your response is “that’s the wrong complaint”.


I looked at three of the banks/brokerages I use and the results are interesting!
The brokerages present you with step by step screens, and first have you choose the “to” account. Then you click ‘Next’ and choose the “from” account.
My bank presents them on the same screen, going top down. On top you pick the “from”, and below it you select “to”.
So, despite my strong opinion, apparently there hasn’t been any consistency in my experience, granted I don’t transfer money very often.


It’s not a perfect example. The need to pay sort of starts as soon as you put something in your shopping basket. I’m not transferring money to the cashier unless it’s cash – otherwise it goes somewhere else and eventually the store gets it.
It’s just a thought experiment about something reasonably similar, and the similarities for me start after everything is rung up and it’s time to move money.


We have very different brains in regards to this subject.
When I pay for something (moving money) the first thing to do is choose the source. Cash, credit card, venmo, etc. Only once I’ve decided that can I pick where to move it… The cashiers hand, credit card machine, scan a venmo barcode, etc.


It has to do with taking up screen space. “Advertising and headers take up …”. The title bar is sort of a header, so I posted how to remove it.


Right click up on the toolbar and select “Customize Toolbar”. Uncheck “Title Bar” to get ride of the text at the top of the screen.
Edit: apparently this stuck a nerve. This is a way to increase screen space, just like how someone recommended using verticle tabs.


If it’s just for charging, a USB-C port is just a different part. The charge controller and everything can stay “dumb” if it’s a low power device.
The USB-C spec is complicated and to take full advantage of it is expensive like you said, but I think just using a modern form factor isn’t expensive.


Yeah, that stinks.
It’s recommended to not begin boarding until it’s finished, but one person moving around, gusts of wind, etc. don’t bother it.
If the moon wasn’t adjacent to their path, would they ever get pulled back to earth by earths gravity?
