Thunderbird. It’s great

I am not sure how to make it look shitty like Gmail, maybe you could theme it to wast a ton of space.

Seriously, do you want a useful email client or not?

I am not sure it needs to be if the foundation is Mrna vaccines. At least that’s the idea anyway.

I was just pointing out how much the government spent and, it was quite a lot.

The US spent 31.6 billion to develop, produce and purchase covid 19 mrna vaccines.

So the US is already spending a ton of money…

I think I would go with a 19 author study published in science over a bank report in May. MAY! How much data did they have? At least by December we could get some data to work with

But is doesn’t matter what science says for you does it?

They really brought attention to themselves. But if I understand it the current discussion is about if all books need to be removed, or can they have controlled lending.

Yeah, I realize that. They waaaaay overstepped their rights on that one. But they are back to the original method.

I can see where you are going with this. But there is NOT a copy in my browser. Only a representation of a fraction of the whole book at any given time. I cannot make a copy.

When I am viewing the section of the book, the rest of the book is “checked out”. No one else can look at it. Is this not how a library works? I check out an item, then I take it back? Are they not making the steps to make sure I can check it out, read it, and then I have to give it back?

Since libraries are allowed to loan from their collection, what makes digital any different? In the case of video, if the library wanted to check out a video and stream it to me, I see no difference than me checking it out myself. In fact libraries are granted the right to show videos to me and small groups, so why can’t I be farther away than in their building?

The current move of libraries to streaming services is exactly because of this. Now the library has a license, and cannot share the stream without the license. This is a move to remove physical items so that the possibility of streaming from a physical item is moot.

I understand your point. But the archive isn’t giving you a copy. It will display 2 pages on your screen, using encryption, for up to 2 hours. You can turn pages and see a different 2 pages displayed, but that’s it.

Is this a significant distinction from a copy, I don’t know. But it does seem different as I cannot take that copy, I can only observe content and even then in a limited way.

Strawberry or Clementine. I mean 100K entries in a database is nothing. Even for SQLite. You can add multiple library locations, this is no problem.

You probably want Strawberry as it is newer and maintained, but I still like Clementine for the extra features that Strawberry doesn’t have yet. For you probably, not a big deal - things like podcast support, cloud support etc.

You misspelled Ubuntu.

There is a trending tab? Huh. I really only use youtube when I want something specific and I never use thier app or webpage so I had no idea.

Thank goodness. I hate most current UI.

It’s funny that one thing I really liked about it was the floating windows and toolbar. Then everyone complained and they brought it all together. But now people I work with using software that we pay nearly a million dollars to license are getting all excited becuase they introduced… floating windows.

Cool. I guess I was wondering if the package maintainer had set a configuration to pull those in automatically, or if Clementine was designed to do that. But in any case, thanks for the reply.

I looked and I do not see anything like that. Who packaged your version I wonder.

That is interesting. Now I am going to have to run Wireshark and see if anything is going on with mine.

Shame if so, it is the most feature rich music player.

Man Amarok was amazing back in the day, but that was many days ago.

It still might be good, and kudos for the effort, but Clementine has already surpassed Amarok. It would be nice to the effort going to either Continue clementine development, or make Strawberry as feature complete as Clementine and go on from there.

At that point you might as well go with a steamdeck. Works with or without the mouse/keyboard/screen and can play games. The desktop environment is full kde and ready to go.

Thabks for posting this! Looks like steamdeck and linux are still out, but they think it is possibly fixed in the future.

Peanut butter on apple? Yeah. Also on celery is not uncommon.

But do you ever see little toothpick ready grapes smothered in peanut butter?

I am not a fan of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at all.

But it got me thinking, in this case it’s grape. Does anyone actually eat grapes with peanut butter? Like smear peanut butter on a grape?

I don’t think that sounds good, so by extension this whole thing looks awful.
