  • I left spark once the AI crap started being introduced. I also realized how terrible the “single sign on” feature, where you make an account and it saves all your email accounts in it for you.

    K9 has worked fine for me for a few years now.

    Reviews are from people opposed to any change when Thunderbird took over, which were pretty negligible btw.

    With whatever client you pick, check the fetch settings, which for K9 are found when you click on an account in the main settings menu.

    K9 doesn’t use google play services for push notifications, so it will never be instant. You can have it check every 15 minutes or up to 24hrs depending on how you need to balance battery vs checking. I have mine set to an hour (I think that is the default?)

    You should also check the app’s battery settings and make sure background usage is enabled or battery saver is off.




  • I agree, in principle vigilantism isn’t good for society. It opens the door for, let’s say heavily misguided, people to carry out whatever justice they want. Yes, it is also dangerous for the individuals with good intentions.

    However, if the “proper” system does nothing, who will?

    In the case of Roblox, I’m going to compare this to a public park;

    In this park some adults set up a free candy van for kids. The park rangers/owners (moderators) see this, and choose to ignore it. Some other people at the park report their concerns to the rangers, yet a week later they find 3 more vans have shown up.

    Finally, one person steps up and calls the police directly. The police can do nothing with the information, as there’s “no evidence”. Desperate to stop them, the person disguises them self as a child (don’t ask) to get the evidence. Police show up and apprehend the perpetrators.

    The rangers are now angry that the person called the cops to their park, and bans that person from the park for “pretending to be a kid”.


    If Roblox is unwilling to participate in the justice system set by society, they have no place in it.

    As for schelps making YT videos, I say keep doing it. Not only does is help spread awareness to issues like this, it documents the “vigilante” actions. Society can decide from there what to do with that information.












  • I’ll be a bit less vague, my job involves installing various equipment systems that are designed/programmed by the office people.

    Part of the process is testing and bug fixing, nothing in life goes perfect. Install typically takes 4-6 hours, with time allotted for a few hours to test and configure being at end of day. We are often at the mercy of the business hours of wherever we work, so install typically doesn’t begin until 8am.

    When its 3pm and the job is supposed to be done by end of day and some technical issue pops up (typically client wants a change, or sometimes we all make a mistake) if the guy who programmed the electronics went home at 2, the job won’t get done.

    As I said, once in a while people leaving early is fine, if we have to return to a job we will. But if we have to do that for every single one, we’d never get anything done.

    Some jobs require assistance because that’s how life works. not everyone is a computer genius.
