That's a really strange phone you're describing. Did it have a single hole on the dial? Where are you from? I too used rotary phones - I'm 28 (if it makes a difference) and I grew up in a former Soviet republic. The…

Sourceforge is gone after the mass-exodus following its questionable practices. The github is here, last commit a few months ago: https://github.com/nicm/fdm/commits/master Not sure where the "ft" repo came from.
I used to use OfflineIMAP, and then tried mbsync, and it's much faster.

Companies only act ethically if it has a potential to affect their bottom line and they have the foresight. It's not just tech, think pharmaceuticals or finance. As for naivete - as the old saying goes, the only free…
You have to be naive to give a service access to a trove of your private data and expect them to just leave it there...
That's a good question! Has anyone ever met a male Russian programmer? I don't think I've ever heard of one! /s

My old manager wanted me to install WhatsApp. WhatsApp wanted to access my phone's address book so that it could upload all of my contact info to their [Facebook's] servers. I denied it, and it refused to work. I didn't…

But only for a very short period of time (4 seconds on average).
How does it compare with Claws Mail [0]? I've always assumed Claws is the more full-featured fork of Sylpheed, but seeing that they've diverged over a decade ago and are both still in development I'm curious how they…

More like: "Non-living things don't move. The bus moves. Therefore, the bus is alive." This is false because there exist things that are non-living but move. Similarly, the original "not alive" => "doesn't need…
But the premise "not alive => doesn't need resources" is false because there exist things are "not necessarily alive" that need resources. Therefore, the argument is invalid.
