Well, thats one positive anecdote.

Here's some negatives:

Everyone I know with a Samsung appliance has had a poor experience with it.

Why are they still popular? Why are people still buying them? Every product review gives major faults too (like catching fire!) and people are like "8/10 because I managed to put it out before by house burnt down".

Meanwhile other brands are crucified for the finish song being too loud, or the door feeling plastic, or some other inane reasoning.

Buddy, keep fighting the good fight, but there has got to be a better way to post about this shit where you don't come across as insane to those not already in the know. This reads like something from insanfacebookposts.

There's always someone who posts like they're a homeless person in a park telling you that god is a sock.

Wherever I see this rambling I just move on to another topic. You know you've reached the bottom of the barrel when it appears. This, or those images macros of Ralph picking his nose saying "other team stupid" or whatever.

I recently learned a term for this sort of story:

I love how Whirlpool has stuck to it's guns with regards to staying text only.

It survived a world of phpbb, avatars, and animated GIFS and is now surviving a world of social media and "engagement". It's like Usenet with moderation and no binaries.

Helps that it's fast as blazes too.

I just checked on Linux (Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Opensuse Tumbleweed) and the behaviour is the same.

If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.

This is using the normal search function (top of screen in current version). Quick Filter does not look at attachments at all by the looks. The "Attachments" toggle is only a has / does not have attachment filter.

Yes but I can’t search by the name of the attachment.

I just searched for text thats in an attachment filename and it worked - with a caveat. I have a filename called "PMASUP236 - Operate Vehicles In The Field.pdf" on an email. There is no reference to the PMASUP236 in any other part of any email.

If I search "PMASUP236", it returns the email as a result.
If I search "SUP236" it does not.
If I search "Operate Vehicles" it returns that email (along with a heap of others containing the word "Operate" and "Vehicles" in any order).

Admittedly this is on Windows at work, though I do run Thunderbird on Linux at home. Will have to try it there to confirm.

I dunno if I really trust the public to make good decisions anymore though.

It's the entitlement that pisses me off the most.

Why did she feel so entitled as to think it's perfectly fine to fuck with a wild animal? Like, why is she so important that she should be able to inflict distress on another being?

She needs to have her visa revoked and a fine given just to stop other dickhead influencers copying her.

At this point I'd rather support China than the US.

It's one thing to bang on about totalitarian governments blah blah, it's another to see a democracy willfully and deliberately vote in that disgusting pig of a man.

I feel so bad for the puppy. Spending 3 days trying to let your owner know you desperately need to go to the toilet... then need a drink... then need food...

Only for the old bloke to maybe give you a pat as he walks by completely oblivious to the fact you're doing. He's dying. His wife is already dead.

Just horrible.

Trump

If you ever needed further proof that crypto is a grift...

They're trying to make it a thing here. I refuse to participate.

I'm paying for a menu that has your decent wage built in already, I'm not gifting free money on top for just... doing your job?

Also wtf servers in places that do tip... you turn my words in to an entry in a tablet (or perhaps a piece of paper), then carry the food that other people created / prepared / transported / cooked all of 30 steps from the kitchen to my table and expect 20% of the bill? Insanity.

I hope it crashes straight to zero, along with every other crypto currency, NFT, chia, and whatever other "idle your car engine to solve sudoku puzzles you can trade for drugs" bollocks is floating around.

Between this and AI we're wasting so, so many resources and killing the planet for nothing.

I wish I worked a job where my biggest concern was the difference between starting at 12:30 or 12:35.

This is absolutely fascinating to me... That someone would go out of their way to make a public profile for people to view, but then expect to be notified whenever someone views it.

What's your goal with knowing who looked? Is it so you can return the favour and if it's a profile you find attractive start hitting them up for drinks after work? If it's a more powerful person in your industry, to start weaseling an invite to the exclusive country club they are part of? To see if it's some rube you can sell a box of widgets to? To climb the corporate ladder by mimicking their achievements?

FYI I just looked at your Lemmy profile. And I reckon I might do it again in a moment. Probably even take a screenshot... for later.

You analogy is terrible.

A better one is handing out business cards everywhere you go but then expecting to know who looked at them and when.

Are you in marketing? This smacks of tracking links on emails so you can start ringing any customer who clicked on your spam because now they're a "lead".

Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.

Don't really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox's work and then releases it later.

I want a Google and Apple alternative and I'd rather support it at the top of the chain.

You think a public LinkedIn profile - full of information curated and posted by the user with the full intention that it be seen by the public - is the equivalent of a private residence and personal phone line?
