It’s what Wunderlist used to be like before Microsoft bought them and buggered it up, but keeps getting improvements.

I’ve always thought that mold is the fungus, and to mould is to shape.

I actually do this too. Not because I think it’s correct as such, but because that way I am consistent and I know what I’m talking about when I read back previous text that I’ve written.

I remember it by Mold = simplified English = simple organism.

I’ve been using FX File Explorer since 2012. It’s straight up the best file manager on Android, especially when you use SMB and SFTP. Multi window makes moving things around easy as, and the built in text editor works a treat. Being able to share images from apps to FX’s “Save As” option is awesome to. It means every app can save where you want.

No idea why it isn’t more popular compared to the alternatives.

Spondulix

That’s an odd name. I’d have called them dollarydoos.

I’m sure they’re making all sorts of valid points, but it seems like all they had was a notes app that supports markdown? There’s about a billion free versions of them on the Play store.

I use hysteresis daily… Refrigeration.

Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was always best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.

The first time I learned of its American naming was the classic “pound quake 3 arena” audio clip from the #quake3arena IRC channel.

“Uhhhhhh pound quake 3 arena”
“… What the hell was that?”

… And my axe!

Edit: I said the funny line, updoots to the just please

Pretty much never. Direct family only really.

Talking is for IRL, or actually urgent things. Everything else is a message or email.

Don’t ring me to discuss an email.

After reading the site, I’m still not entirely sure how to use it.

Is there a decent demo site somewhere? The examples they show are very simplistic

It’s not, but it’s old Reddit with more attributes that prevent a transition to corporate Reddit so I’ll take it.

I use to get a “trk special” at the local takeaway - they literally added it to their menu board because I got it so frequently and other people who heard also got it.

It was three pieces of bread, all the salads (tomato, lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, beetroot) and aioli sauce on the bottom, then a spicy kebana sliced horizontally with a heap of pepper sauce and a slice of cheese on the top layer. Quick toast with butter so the outer slices gave a tiny bit of crisp and the cheese starts to sag and voila.

Another one they added to their menu board was the “xxxx trucks special” which was named after a local business. All the apprentices there used to buy this one because it was cheap and filling. It was a fresh toasted hotdog roll, with a sausage roll instead of a sausage, and a heap of butter and tomato sauce.

The ironic thing about boomerangs is that they always come back to the person who threw them.

Yeah but what are they gonna do about it, throw a boomerang?

I report every mailing list email as spam, unless I specifically signed up for it.

So sick of, say, getting my car serviced… and next minute I’m getting email spam about deals on oil and air fresheners or something because deep down in the 14 pages of text they want you to accept while you’re standing at the counter is a pre-ticked box that says “allow us to spam you indefinitely?”. It’s not like I want to sign up for anything, but to get the oil changed on my Hyundai apparently I need an email address so they can send me confirmations of my appointment. Sounds legit… oh wait, actually its just an excuse to spam me about the new Kona.

We did a US trip last year and I was getting DAILY emails from Applebees because I put my email address in to get a copy of my receipt when I paid once. Who the heck wants DAILY spam about dinner ffs?

DavX doesn’t get much simpler for Android… it’s even included in the Nextcloud installer which launches DavX and prefills half the fields for you.

For iPhone, you can copy the shared link from the Nextcloud web interface and add it as a CardDav account. Not sure of a simpler way, I don’t use iPhone and had to just figure it out one time for someone else

Big baps
