Huh, tipping…

This is more of a rant isn’t it

I feel like hosting your own Obsidian vault is still the way to go.

From what I’ve seen, it’s not nearly as customizable as Ditto.

Looks interesting, I’ll give it a go!

For both professional and personal use, I can list 2 that you likely haven’t heard of:

https://github.com/meowtec/Imagine Imagine PNG/JPEG optimization - it basically compresses images and photos so you can email lots of stuff back and forth without using the likes of WeTransfer.

https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/ Ditto Clipboard Manager - a multi clipboard for Windows. Ever try to paste something, only to realise you’ve already copied over it? Its use and helpfulness is so ubiquitous, I just could never live without it anymore.

Isn’t this similar to the tech used in fiber optics cables? Or am I way off

I’ve tried Thunderbird and wasn’t convinced… My work life is basically email, and I’ve tried several email apps over the years, a lot more than most people. I’ve found Postbox on desktop and Spark on mobile to be the magic pair for me so far. Unless Postbox fails me, I don’t think I’ll bother trying anything else anytime soon… Though I’m open to suggestions for mobile, since there’s room for improvement with Spark.

I can confirm that this works quite well. I use these tactics all the time on my parents’ feed to keep them from watching too many “crap” news, pardon my french. There’s a very notorious news channel in our country that insists on feeding bad (and only the bad) news - I often remove their channel from the suggested feed play videos of funny fails/wins, cute cats, daily dose of internet and other happy nonesense.

Give us an update sometime @driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br , hope all goes well with your mom.
