Yeah, this thread cannot be a representative sample of any population. I mean, I guess I would be surprised if “users of an open source, decentralized, federated link aggregator” was a representative sample of anything. Where I live, I see a couple people wearing masks per week, and I work with the public, I’m out all the time with friends, idk. I’d see masks if they existed in my area, so where I live they’re gone.

It’s a phrase used in a few different ways, but the main one is that if there’s a need to specify an exception, that indicates the existence of a general rule. Wikipedia gives the (good) example of a sign saying “No parking, Saturday 8.30am - 1.30am”. The fact that an exception has to be described for when parking is disallowed allows a driver to make the inference that parking is generally allowed.

I think EternalExplorer is saying that the degree to which people with masks stick out on the very rare occasions that you see them, the way they need to be specified as something other than the default, just makes it even more clear that the general case is that masks are now absent from public life in their city.

I’m in the US and I don’t know the last time I saw someone wearing a mask outside of a medical setting. Most still don’t even then.

All I know is that I’m in the same situation and the gmail mobile app works, so there’s something you can do.

I was gonna say, I tried it a couple months ago and I’m pretty sure it hadn’t been changed since when I was using it in like 2012. I thought a theme might help so I checked out the available themes, and the “popular” ones were ones that felt like they were from back then too. Everyone remembers Firefox / Thunderbird themes from back then: frosted glass, photos of space, flames, lots of gradients, themes that look like wood for some reason, that gross red text on black-white gradient background. It was like the entire app was aesthetically trapped in the early 2010s, even the community’s themes.

I’m sorry but the majority of people absolutely do not use more than one display.

I don’t have a gaming PC or anything, I just have a laptop, so ymmv, but performance in Linux, even of Proton games, is noticeably far better for me. Things are faster, I can crank the graphics settings up higher without lag, and my fan spins less angrily. Linux is just generally less resource-intensive than Windows by a very wide margin, so I think it leaves more for the game? Idk. All I know is it works better.
