When you have spent the last couple of months developing a new tool that will automatically generate a plain text awareness email and send it to senior leaders. They're testing it and feedback with "it's good, but can you make these bits of text coloured depending on priority"

Well, I could, BUT YOU ASKED FOR A PLAIN TEXT EMAIL!!!

@nolan I've been pretty disenfranchised with the latest phones for a few years now. Personally, I refuse to pay the best part of £1,000 for a phone. It's ridiculous. I tend to go for one or two generations backwards when I shop for a phone. Recently upgraded to a Oneplus 3T and am very happy with it.

@Gargron I've always liked the sound of a 12 string. Bit more difficult to play, but they tend to have a gorgeous tone to them.

@charlag so it would read like:

SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE
@gargon | Followers: 9999

@charlag why not remove the "followers" tab all together and just have "followers: xxx" in the header section? That could then be linked to view followers, don't really see the need though, as no one ever checks who follows someone, do they?

@Tusky @charlag 4th tab for media IMHO. I'd also just put a bar with no percentage. People can work out a rough percentage from the bar itself. Plus, it's only gonna be there a few seconds.

@artemysia if you're gonna use bing, you might as well stick with Google, as they're both as bad as each other in terms of privacy.

I've gone with Duckduckgo.com the UI is a lot like Google's and they really respect your privacym

@Gargron I'm on EP7, it's about to get good for you!

@jamey rsvp, yeah, no problem. Not had any issues with invites, so I'd assume it's fine.

@dajbelshaw no, cPanel accounts for that now. I manage my dns externally, but was still able to set up SPF and DKIM etc, no problem.

Ok guys, it's done. Gmail is a goner and the process of De-Googling my life is complete!

So I'm usually a Thunderbird or Geary kinda guy. Having not used Evolution for quite a few years, I decided to give it a whirl on my new #UbuntuMate set up...

It's awesome! Card/CalDAV right out the box, the UI is great once you have a nice theme installed, and the functionality is up there with Outlook (for all the MS do, I think Outlook is a superb product).

If you're like me and have discounted Evolution for a long time, give it try, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Saturday morning run with my little training partner. Remember folks, just because we're geeks doesn't mean we can't be fit!👍 https://fosstodon.org/media/yy0-o_sgjPUpsqSY6Yo

@Tusky cool, thanks.

@Gargron what are you after?

@Gargron top left.

@Tusky awesome. When will it push to the play store?

@hirozed yes!

It's Ubuntu Mate, Jim, but not as we know it.

Very happy indeed with #UbuntuMate. I think I will most definitely be sticking with this for a while - It's like Ubuntu was back in 2012...when it was good!
