Re:COI – Chat Over IMAP on Thursday February 21, 2019 @12:59PM (#19218932)
The problem with smtp and imap is it doesn't work over proxies, which a lot of places still use.
Does anyone have an answer to this question?

Re:Save net neutrality in the US on Monday December 04, 2017 @03:51PM (#15847364)
If they vote away Net Neutrality, in theory the biggest sites on the internet could easily bring it back:

"Sorry, you can only reach this site with a certified internet connection, please contact your service provider and request full internet access."

Seems, if Facebook, Netflix, and Google did this, it would be enough to force internet providers to open up the connection.

Although getting rid of net Neutrality is a win for Facebook, since people would just buy a Facebook package, and be even more walled into that garden.

Re:I tried emailing like a CEO and it made my life better on Monday December 04, 2017 @11:01AM (#15844821)
This doesn't work. I've gotten many bad reviews, because people thought I was being "curt" or "mean" because I was replying to their question with short replies.

None, of my emails were intended to be mean, I just didn't see the point in fluffing up my emails, and only responded with the required information, but I guess people require the fluff or they get their feelings hurt.

What is this going to sound like when cities have hundreds of whining drones flying around? Are we just going to have to get used to the noise pollution from the drones so people can get their coffee delivered faster?

I bet if someone re-wrote the specification using JSON or YAML, everyone would start using it again.
