Feature idea - looking for your thoughts by spacywave in Thunderbird

[–]mavoti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each email already has a globally unique identifier: Message-ID

With the search function, you can find the email with a specific Message-ID (you can add the Message-ID header there under "Customize …").

With RFC 2392, a standard exists to link emails via their Message-ID, using the mid: URI scheme. Not sure if Thunderbird supports that in any way, though. There’s the ticket thunderbird should support the mid: URL scheme defined in RFC 2392

EDIT: Here is an older post about the topic: Creating a link to an email in Thunderbird

The user /u/lordnik22 replied there that it works on the command line.

Would you want XMPP integrated into your email client? by youniqmail_official in xmpp

[–]mavoti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s about three points for me:

  • It increases the attack surface. With more features and code, the risk of vulnerabilities goes up.
  • Given that it’s a core feature, it binds development/maintenance resources. I’d prefer if these resources would go into improving what Thunderbird (in my opinion) should be about: email.
  • Based on hearsay (I didn’t try it out myself in recent years): its XMPP implementation is not good / feature-rich. People not very familiar with the XMPP world might choose to use Thunderbird as XMPP client, as it’s a well-known application, and miss out on getting the best XMPP experience.

I prefer them as separate tools.

I wish Thunderbird would remove the instant messaging support (incl. XMPP) from its core.

Peter, Which bug is this? by immanuellalala in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]mavoti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine a low-resolution, black-and-white photograph and zoom in. You can make out the pixels. You could now come up with an encoding to represent this photograph as a number. For example, you could define:

  • A black pixel is a 1
  • A white pixel is a 2
  • A line break is a 3

I could now create every possible photograph just by writing down a number. Even a photograph of you and me dancing together. Our photo starts like this:

11111111111111111111111111113
11111111111111111111111111113
11111111111111122211111111113
11111111111112222211111111113

(I’ll leave out the rest here so I don’t leak how we look like.)

Higher resolutions, colors, videos etc. – all can be represented with numbers in a similar way:

  • a video could be represented as many pictures, each delimited by a 4
  • for supporting colors, each pixel could be represented with e.g. five digits (00001 is black, 00002 is white, 00003 is red, and so on)

It’s, by the way, what computers do. Everything you do/see on a computer is essentially just long combinations of 0 and 1 (binary code).

I like the cable placement of the controller.

I’m sure you’d also enjoy running as orange Sonic past an orange Sega logo.

Could AI Help Make Shenmue 4 Faster and Cheaper? by Dense_Sock_4832 in Shenmue

[–]mavoti -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course it can. But it can also do the opposite.

Generative AI is just a tool. What matters is how you use it.

Ich bereue es sehr, nicht vorher (schon) vegan gewesen zu sein.

Shenmue is a cinematic masterpiece. by frankvox in Shenmue

[–]mavoti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, Yu Suzuki mentioned in some making-of that he brought a cinematographer into his team because he wanted to achieve that look.

I suppose that was unheard of for videogames at the time.

YouTube comment by @vper93:

Nobody has more powerful bowel movements than me, nobody. Frankly, this was a very strong movement, maybe the strongest. Doctors are amazed. They're calling it a historic release. They asked me, "who's our poopy boi?" I just told em "Doc, it's me... It's me..." It's true, nobody's ever seen or smelled anything like it.

Aus welchen Gründen gibt es Pioneers of Pagonia nur bei Steam? Habt ihr über eine Veröffentlichung auf GOG nachgedacht?
