I am sure that the current trend of changes to #Firefox and the resulting rewrite of #Thunderbird will necessarily affect #SeaMonkey. Essentially, I think SM lacks independent development resources, so if the divergence is quick enough or large enough, SM will have to write a separate mail component or give up.
This reminds me of a Matrix client I was using. The developers of what was then called Riot changed frameworks or something and the downstream client I used ended development.
One thing I dislike about #Win11 is the extra step added to the start menu. First is the pinned programs and recommendations with a little "all programs" button. Click that and the regular start menu appears.
Seems bizarre that the primary UI improvement that made #Win95 such a revelation is repeatedly erased or subverted in subsequent #Microsoft operating systems. I remember #Win3.1 and MacOS having program icons and folders containg such icons scattered all over the desktop. The start menu was a huuuuge improvement.
@lxo I haven't bothered to read much about the bill, but I do not believe the courts will let it stand. As you point out, US based companies engage in similar data-gathering, both for private corporate purposes and for unconstitutional US federal purposes.
They _could_ and _should_ ban such data-collection / data-sharing / data-selling, but I expect they will not.
Got an emergency alert about a radar indicated #tornado ... the storm cell appears to have past the Springfield #MO area. St Louis area also warned.
No known damage in this area.
There was some significant wind and rain for a few minutes. No hail observed. #GS3 was aware enough to be concerned about a tornado, but as far as I know, no twister touched the ground.
He talked about the group that he hired on with, and how half of them left and are now trying to return because they had nothing to keep them active. But I have no illusions about enjoying sitting in a rocking chair or going fishing every day. I already know that even if my financial needs were taken care of, I would still need to be productive.
My grandson (2, but will be 3 soon) had a meltdown because "it can't be bedtime, it is still daylight". He's not wrong. Just a couple of nights ago, bedtime was after sunset.
Neither the nephew formerly known as #lazyNephew nor his younger brother #Papaya were present for that discussion, but they did get tablet computers in the mail that Summer. My recollection is that Papaya was staying with my mom for some sort of youth empowerment training, so I shipped his tablet to the house ... and despite "signature required", the UPS driver left it in the driveway.
When he returned home, his brother suddenly contacted me to ask whether he was getting one. I had already planned on visiting Jeremiah (employee at the Best Buy store ... I made sure that every sale went through him ... they weren't on commission, but that doesn't mean they don't keep track of how productive an employee is) after work the next day.
PizzaMan, being the youngest male, was always the last to get anything. Even his younger sister got things before he did. So I sent his tablet first, a week or more before the next sibling's shipment.
@simsa03 Wonderful news! I am glad that you and your nephew had such a great time ... and that you were able to leave him a reminder of your time together.
