Thank you for your service.

Sylpheed has all the features I would expect an email client to have, and they all work. No reason to change anything, unless email as a technology changes, or it stops building.

Sylpheed handles large amounts of email much better. It’s fast even at 50k plus emails. Last time I tried Claws Mail, it choked on that.

Ubuntu Touch is still available for the Pinephone, as far as I know. I intended to get a Pinephone Pro next time I need a phone, but then I read about the Furi FLX1 and I have to say, it sounds pretty great. Although it doesn’t sound like any other distros will run on it besides what comes on it.

So that’s where people are getting these beta versions newer than mine. I’ve seen them on the network but I didn’t know it they were legit.

By MuWire, I meant the network, not the software. I wasn’t aware it was being developed again, actually. Maybe the current political climate made the dev feel like his work was needed again. The network never died. I use Linux too. eMule and Gnutella both have Linux clients, but availability might vary from one distro to another. On openSuse Tumbleweed, we have aMule and GTK-Gnutella. Based on the IP addresses I see, they seem more popular in Europe than in the US.

aMule is also available on Linux.

Once I get a Linux phone, I’ll be totally Google-free. That’ll be a sweet day.

Many of the old file-sharing networks are still around and actively in use. MuWire has a lot of interesting books and recordings. EMule is a good place to find music, including obscure remixes. Gnutella is mostly porn, including child porn that’s so open I feel like it might be part of a law enforcement operation.

Retroshare seems like a p2p Facebook rather than a file-sharing network. I’ve always wanted to get into it, but I don’t know anyone else using it.

You can use Invidious or Piped as a frontend, and there will be a link you can click to download, no need to install anything.

Books can go on z-lib. Everything else, bittorrent?

Yep, that is what I did. It just seems ironic that a company that sells the service of protecting your privacy wants to violate your privacy in order to do it.

Most email clients I’ve used can work with either, but there’s no point in using both.

They require an amount of personal info that I don’t really want a company to have.

Eating cheese in food like pizza or lasagna upsets my stomach a lot, but eating cheese off a block is fine. 🤔

It’s an amazing game. The sprat rescue…

This is a frequent source of frustration for me, too. Can’t even tell if it’s cli or gui a lot of the time, based on the documentation. If I could just see what it looks like, I’d have a good idea right away of whether it might meet my needs.

My hate comes from wanting it to work like LView Pro. There’s no Linux image manipulation program that comes close to meeting the standard they set in 2001.
