Local only.

Even if you pay for their subscription, when you get to a new computer you need to manually authenticate with each service. But, it remembers which accounts you have, so it's faster than manually setting up each account from scratch. Basically "we know you have Gmail, xmail, ymail - tap each account to reauthenticate"

It's a good way to have (part of) the convenience of a cloud service, while combining it with the security of local only clients.

Edit: all of this is optional, you can choose not to let their cloud service know of any of your accounts.

I've been paying for mailspring for a few years now, and I love it. It has touch and gesture support, is open source, and is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

Its paid plan includes some nice features like email tracking - which you can't really get from just a simple client and (needs a server to track who has opened an email and when) - and id lookup, for things like quickly seeing the LinkedIn profile of a sender not in your contacts list.

Definitely my favorite desktop client by a wide margin, and one I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Edit: Just to be clear, it's available for free as well.

Try Baikal, it's a pretty lightweight CalDAV server!

Any client I use it with supports notifications, however it should also be able to send emails for you (e.g. Its scheduling feature).

One thing to add, it looks like Flipboard is all in on the Fediverse: they've announced plans to support ActivityPub in Flipboard itself, turning it into a federated service.

I think that's really cool!

It would, yes. But, the argument is that a person who wants a higher quality of life than "simply living" would be expected to work.

The right to life is, this way, protected - the right to a quality life, similar to today, would still have to be earned. This is in addition to the social pressure to work.

Yes, funding UBI with raised corporate taxes is absolutely not optional, I agree completely.

At the end of the day, simplified, UBI means: massive cuts to the workforce, in lieu of technology that can perform the exact same tasks more efficiently, for less; all the while paying people money at the same or similar levels of what they earned before.

It would be insane to assume the former would just grow wealthier over night while the latter is relegated to being financed by - in this example - wishful thinking. The money's gotta come from somewhere, and it makes sense it be the same place it's (supposed to be) coming from now.

Isn't this the primary argument for universal basic income? If you're keeping unnecessary jobs around just to give people something to do, you're not actually keeping them for contributions to society... In the long run ubi could probably even be cheaper than paying to prop up obsolete and wholly unnecessary industries.

It's great stuff, but I don't like having to support individual shows - I want to just get the bundle and support all the big ones. :/ So bizarre that it's not available in every state.

I'm an avid reader and listener of NPR (and I do support my local station - fingers crossed we'll get the NPR+ bundle soon), and I have yet to see any article that even remotely seemed to be written by an AI.

What do we do in this case?
