I also have acquired this 100 lb piece of 1950s technology, which is broken and needs fixing/ restoring

So I found a pair of these bad boys and now I'm wondering if anyone has hacked the pocketmail protocol to spoof their dial in mail server.

Really getting down to the wire on finding a new instance with cybre.space slated to go read-only in a couple days... any last-minute suggestions?

Honestly... I think the at-mention model of stuff in slack and discord et al is a giant antipattern and I hate it.

It used to be you could mention people by name and if the way that sparked notifications bothered the recipient they could change it. I personally had a pretty complicated series of rules that decided when I got notified and when I didn't on IRC.

But now it's just "Notifications: On or Off" and that's largely billed as a usability feature because the speaker knows unless you've completely squashed notifications that if they type this magic invocation, you're getting the notification.

The sender should not have deciding power on your notification state.

Okay but seriously have you ever heard a boomer apologize for literally anything? Non-sarcastically?
EarthshineOct 30, 2022
If the only thing boomers had to do was apologize to magically undo all of the damage they've done to our society, they still wouldn't.
