    My anecdote is that that has never happened to me and all IMAP clients seem fairly stable to me. Do with that information what you will.

    Me neither, I also only use my headphones. I've only had to use mono mode on amateur youtube videos where one of the audio channels is just missing. It has never been an issue on b…

    Yes, that does seem super complicated compared to the plug and play setup 99.9% of people are using.

    Also in any other major OS afaik. It's a standard accessibility feature.

    The font site is 9pt. It's just small. Not sure where someone got 12px from. The measurement is resolution independent, yes.

    I felt the same about typescript early on. Now I really like it as I can easily program logic for hours without running the app once. I'm not sure I could do that without typing. I…

    You're right, it's not possible to set a custom search engine on safari. An extension is the only way. Blame apple :)

    So you argument here is based on something that hasn't happened, but just something you pulled out of nowhere. Or was this meant humorously?

    Why would apple identify the domain used for unsubscribes as in use solely for being a bounce tracker?

    Please elaborate on this, as I'm not exactly sure what you mean. The email deliverability problem is a side effect of false positives in spam filtering. Unless you have a proposal …

    Senders that apply dmarc and want their emails to be forwarded should use dkim. Forwarding a dkim signed message doesn't break dmarc at all.

    Sometimes it's not about competence but about priority. If email is something a business does as a side thing and not a core thing, and if email keeps working without changing anyt…

    This is just a standard unsubscribe header. It's added by the sender specifically for this purpose and has nothing to do with the UI you see. Not everything is AI, but it being the…

    Contacts and calendar are nice to have in the same place as email, because of needing to email contacts and because of calendar invites. Then again, if you use an email client you …

    To be honest, my first instinct was to give a hand wavy "use OAuth". But to elaborate a but further, oauth is made for this and is the industry standard for this kind of thing. The…

    TOTP usually only allows for about 30 seconds of time drift between the device and the server. If you really must set your phone to the wrong time you can use a cheap second device…

    Just a background job queue library basically. Maybe with a fancy dashboard. That was my first impression.

    Comment #37753175

    My initial thought when opening your website was that this was a job queue, like BullMQ. Not a "link things together like IFTT/Zapier/N8N but in code" platform. I don't think I'd u…

    The minimum invoice is $120. Though it seems they can waive that if they like you during sales. It's all a little vague which I honestly despise.

    How is this in any way comparable to the project in the OP?

    No problem! If it's helpful I'm glad. I do believe the original message wasn't meant to be snarky/arrogant at all, it just read that way. Maybe it reads a lot better in French! :)

    IMO starting with "first of all we were there first" kind of sets the tone for the whole message. Here's how I would have written the same message: Hi! Lotus has a great product. W…

    I love your product, but this reply reads snarky and arrogant.
