Now here is a new problem: The other side wins. The examples are that there are no consequences of the debate, which is great. But in reality, there are consequences (some of them are negative) if you lose the debate, e.g., job interview.


I would have to agree with this. But I'd like to point out that recruiters should evaluate whether the job candidate is capable of doing their job rather than what format their CV is in.


I agree we should be evaluating “this candidate is a good engineer” and ignoring “this candidate has various attributes which often correlate with being a good engineer” - but how do you propose measuring the former? Bear in mind that even factors like “does well in a coding interview” is actually an example of the latter, not the former


I am shocked to see Google's response.

Google does not reflect on what they can do better.

It's just another example of being greedy.


And the web version of Gmail is slow to open with splash screen.


Yes! Does anyone know what on earth it is doing during this period? It does not appear to be fetching data.


For those who want to get their hands dirty, here is a full, step by step tutorial to set up your own email server: https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/setup-basic-postfix-ma...

migadu's mail number limit does not make sense to me: This risks losing emails.


That guide is all very well but it is very complicated to follow and setup, and I have been using Linux for a reasonable amount of time (10+ years).

I was surprised that there wasn't an open source script, a bit like you would run with apt-get, that would simply ask you some questions and do all the bits for you.

Postfix is obviously really powerful but for a noob to it, I found it overwhelming without consulting lots of docs.

I did find https://www.iredmail.org/ but that has a feature limit for the free version. The bits you actually really want costs up to $500/year. Not much if it is for your main business, but a lot when you only want it for a part of your larger system.


If you’re open to using Docker

Try out this [0] , it’s pretty easy to self host , comes with decent defaults and makes it quite easy to setup a bunch of tools from spam checking to anti virus , dkim , dmarc , etc and gives you some handy parameters you can change in its default config file after that you can further customise the tools it uses directly (although I’ve only had to do that once or twice while setting up some custom settings) Takes 5 mins to setup a decent instance

Because Google forces phone manufacturers to install Google Play store on every device manufactured.

Otherwise, Google threatens manufacturers out of the Android ecosystem, and will not allow them to install Gmail, Google, etc apps.

So, there is no competition at all. Google is a monopoly.


Agree. The big companies like Google are really greedy.

Can they just lower the fees when they make way more than enough money?

No, they don't. They just keep making more and more money, seeing economic inequality becomes more and more a serious problem.

It's just against social good.


Does Google do the same?

From my experience, Google products almost rank top in the search results without Google in the keywords.

Search "News", "Drive", "Calendar", et al.

In Google chrome, all bookmarks are under auto-completed keywords in the address bar.


No.

If you Google "Dropbox" it doesn't return Google Drive as the top result.

And if you Google "Firefox" it doesn't return Chrome at the top.

Now it might sometimes show ads for competitors, but the actual organic search results show what you're actually looking for.


There is a YouTube channel from New China News Agency. It's the Reuters in China. You can find quite a few videos on the Mars rover.

Don't give hate a chance, guys. Just ask people to use `editor` to edit text files, it will open the default editor on their OS (at least Debian).

Our goal is to ask others to edit some text files, not to ask them to use what tool to edit those files.

Cheers.


Ed is the standard text editor.
