Been using Signal for a very long time now, with my SO, parents, brother and a few friends. But it’s inevitable to also use WhatsApp side by side. Selling/Buying on the local marketplace? WhatsApp. Workplace colleagues? WhatsApp. That group of buddies where only 1 or 2 converted to Signal? WhatsApp.

Same here, works fine on PC. I even get the notification on PC first sometimes.

I’m assuming US? That’s a pretty cool way to do it. Where I’m from there’s a few private shops that will print on demand and have it delivered. Unsure of the prices though

I can confirm that this works quite well. I use these tactics all the time on my parents’ feed to keep them from watching too many “crap” news, pardon my french. There’s a very notorious news channel in our country that insists on feeding bad (and only the bad) news - I often remove their channel from the suggested feed play videos of funny fails/wins, cute cats, daily dose of internet and other happy nonesense.

Give us an update sometime @driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br , hope all goes well with your mom.

I’ve tried Thunderbird and wasn’t convinced… My work life is basically email, and I’ve tried several email apps over the years, a lot more than most people. I’ve found Postbox on desktop and Spark on mobile to be the magic pair for me so far. Unless Postbox fails me, I don’t think I’ll bother trying anything else anytime soon… Though I’m open to suggestions for mobile, since there’s room for improvement with Spark.

A country being in a dictatorship is an excluding factor for making good decisions. Plus, when Portugal left the dictatorship in 1974 it stayed and to this day remains in NATO.

Isn’t this similar to the tech used in fiber optics cables? Or am I way off

I don’t want it but I’ll upvote. Good on you internet stranger

For both professional and personal use, I can list 2 that you likely haven’t heard of:

https://github.com/meowtec/Imagine Imagine PNG/JPEG optimization - it basically compresses images and photos so you can email lots of stuff back and forth without using the likes of WeTransfer.

https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/ Ditto Clipboard Manager - a multi clipboard for Windows. Ever try to paste something, only to realise you’ve already copied over it? Its use and helpfulness is so ubiquitous, I just could never live without it anymore.

Looks interesting, I’ll give it a go!
