Perhaps you could direct your teacher to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail#Criticism. This is just laziness and stupidity on the part of the school, IMNSHO.

If there is a BBC documentary to go with this, I’d love to see it.

When they finally get off the boat, perhaps there might be some budding revolutionary socialists in their midst . . .?

You can always check AlternativeTo for FOSS (and non-US based) software alternatives.

1.Tineye? Not sure if it’s FOSS tho…

There’s Instant Street View, tho it’s just I guess a wrapper (???) for Google SV.

I hear ya. I have never had good luck with Scribus despite several dedicated tries. Still kind of learning Inkscape; I mentioned Krita instead of GIMP because it has full CMYK support. Depends on what your needs are I guess! 🙂

As far as InDesign—I don’t think it will probably ever have 1:1 feature parity, but LibreOffice Writer has recently gotten some new features that allow for more fine-tuned word and letter spacing as well as glyph scaling. A paragraph composer is on the horizon as well. There’s also Inkscape and Krita, but I’m guessing you probably already know about those…

EDIT: Also agitating for optical margin alignment on Writer; will see how that goes…

Would be such a shame if the sailors mutinied…

Would be somehow rather fitting if Charles III were the last king of the UK.

Text, as far as I know (?) doesn’t take up that much space memory-wise, but on the other hand can you imagine the amount of server space that gets taken up by redundant text from people’s emails (just for starters)?

Some of my approaches to the apparently much-hated “Inbox Zero” are to be diligent about emptying the trash, not keeping copies of emails in my sent folder, and most importantly, to download messages, personal or professional ones (mostly the former) that I find personally valuable, and then delete the original email so it isn’t floating around forever in cyberspace. This leaves me with lots of txt files, which, as I said above, I then merge all together into one file and then edit. You’d think that there’d be a tool that cleans up the contents of email messages; there do appear to be some online ones, but I don’t trust them. While researching this problem, I found out about “(g)awk” and am now fiddling around with it to see if I can successfully clean up my files without completely messing them up, as in

awk '!seen[$0]++' input.txt > output.txt

making sure that I experiment on a duplicated file and not on the original. I barely know what I’m doing here, but I’ll see what I can come up with . . .

Hi @[email protected], thanks for your response. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of python and my coding abilities are essentially nonexistent 🙁 . . .

There’s also Thundermail, if they ever get around to actually opening it up . . .

Infomaniak may have changed since I tried making an account there, but when I did they asked for an address and phone number which I was not willing to provide.

Yes please! But only as long as no astronauts get hurt.

Looks like ebooks purchased from Google Play Store still use crackable Adobe DRM. I’d prefer to buy from ebooks.com, but I refuse to be confined to one app or device by fucking DRM. I don’t like giving money to Google, but if you have GrapheneOS you’re already forking out big bucks to them for a Pixel phone, though hopefully in the future it’ll be able to run on Motorola . . .
