Been running Mutt for my work email for about a year now. What started as a simple experiment has turned into a pretty long-running affair. Works well for me, but I'm not a massively heavy user.

Once I got the hang of it the speed and ease of searching and general mailbox management is pretty great.

Constant, low level pain from this mediport I had implanted is really quite annoying. I have to stop myself from rubbing it. It's like an insect bite.

I don't often talk politics, but this is notable to me. I really am surprised BoJo is still in the running for anything. He's become his own caricature.

My old man knew him back in his journo days, and the eccentric buffoon routine was very much an act; and yet it does not seem so now.

Strange how this works.

Good morning from the US East coast, Fedi. I wish everyone a lovely day. 😎

@sullybiker To whit:
βœ… your fingerprints were found at the scene
βœ… your phone was in the vicinity at the time
βœ… your 'face' is visible on CCTV
βœ… your social media 'indicates' a grudge
βœ… you have no proof to the contrary

It's sad to me that when people have a chance to make a community they veer towards authoritarianism to protect members from an ever present, loosely-defined existential threat.

This does not, historically, have a happy ending.

I'm working on a set of "wellness" settings for #Pinafore, inspired by Tristan Harris' Center for Humane Technology (humanetech.com/). What kind of settings would *you* like to have in Mastodon? Examples:

- grayscale mode
- no unread notification counts
- no follower/boost/fav counts
- no push notifications
- no boosts/favs/follows in home/notification timelines

I'd love your feedback! Tracking this here: github.com/nolanlawson/pinafor
