@purism Thank goodness!! Maybe a SIM card, too, right? :)
@kyle I hate that! I gave them a spam-bucket address, but I think they also have my spam-bucket phone number too.
@nextcloud Is there a Mozilla Thunderbird add-on like that in the works?

@professor_stoke It's a bit buggy for me right now. Can't transfer the account to a Windows machine (it crashes).
@tux I often just use my own FTP server. Support for that has been built into Windows Explorer for decades. Tell them paste this URL into Windows Explorer and copy/paste files into the window that appears.
@kiri I removed that button as soon as it showed up!

♲ @drifa@yiff.life: One thing I really hate about my culture is its fetishization of competition. We create needless competition in business, sports, politics, etc. Why? It is destructive, it creates more losers than winners, and it wastes resources that could be better used to solve our collective problems. Proponents claim it spurs innovation and achievement. Bullshit: it spurs cheating and gaming the system. Competition of *ideas* is better served by *cooperation* to study them.
@purism I see some problems. Poor navigation placement for phone usage and mystery meat navigation. Hamburger buttons have been proven to reduce usability many times over. Also see: https://pocketnow.com/8-ways-to-tell-if-your-mobile-app-sucks
@polly @switchingsocial@mastodon.at Ooh, Delta.Chat sounds nice! I guess OX Talk uses some of that. https://github.com/open-xchange/ox-talk Someone should integrate Jitsi with Chat over Email and we might be all set!
