Thanks! I checked Settings but for some reason only the Privacy/Security section where I thought this option might be. No wonder I didn't see it.

I would consider using this app on my desktop instead of Thunderbird primarily due to the improved search.

After giving it a spin for 180 seconds, the main nuisance for me is that I can't elect to "Always show images from this sender". I use that in other desktop clients to ensure the image blocking banner doesn't end up being subconsciously ignored by me, as it will then only show for new senders who I'm not familiar with and need to be more wary of.

Also, like all banners everywhere no matter how well designed, it's ugly. In fact to be honest... this is the main reason I want the option to get rid of it.

I can understand why you don't offer that in the web app if you're storing it server side for each customer's list of saved senders, but for a desktop app where it can be stored locally, I'd value it.

This is what I am using, with the FeedMe app on Android so I can read wherever I am. Works well.

Yep. As an Australian in Taipei today, what struck me most was the effort involved. People have to go to the physical voting location where they are registered, which for many can mean a long trip. Traffic was subsequently awful today, driving out to Taoyuan to visit a relative ended up being a 5 hour round trip, double the usual.

People go to the effort even though voting is not compulsory - unlike where I'm from. There is also no postal or early voting. Despite all this, the turnout is 70ish percent.

Excellent. Wish I'd had this years ago for a bunch of projects! Tempted to revisit some of them now, knowing it can be this easy. Might be able to do a better job.

This is what came to mind immediately when a friend of mine was recalling a prank (purportedly) pulled on a Sydney restaurant. The QR code sticker on various tables was replaced with a legit-looking sticker which actually took users to a rather NSFW URL instead of an ordering page.

I hope it has caused people to start thinking about what could happen beyond the jokes.

I did this yesterday as well, Aegis seems really nice. I've got Syncthing up and running with my desktop as a middleman, so my old phone can be whipped out at any time if my current one gets stolen/lost/bricked.

But now I am wondering if I should be re-seeding across all my TOTP-enabled accounts in case we continue to be drip-fed new information about how much worse this breach is getting.

I've triggered the deletion process for my Authy account - the claim is that all my info will be deleted after 30 days.

It seems our governments tried to walk a fine line for a while with China, because the trade dollars were so good. That's all a bit out the window now. They've slapped us (economically) a few times over the last couple of years but I don't think they can go too much further down that route - they still need a lot of the stuff we're digging out of the ground.

With little for Australia left to lose trade-wise, doubling down on the US relationship makes sense. We're so intertwined already, we may as well get any more benefits we can out of it. The more the US has sitting in Australia, the more it's in their interests for us to be safe and stable.

Pity about France but it seems that project was not going well anyway. If we're going to waste money we may as well get better kit out of it (eventually).

I'm sure many here on HN did this long ago, but for me: Learning how to get by in a large org for the first time.

1 month ago I was responsible for the entire IT function of an SMB. I was the guy who knew everything required to get stuff done, and I reported directly to the CEO. A lot of processes were not formalised because the overheads of doing so weren't worth it.

New job, now working for the government in a skyscraper full of colleagues. I know virtually nothing, there is no onboarding to speak of, and I am second from the bottom in a huge hierarchy strangled by red tape. Every day I find out that there is another whole team dedicated to doing something I thought I was going to have to work out myself - which has pros and cons. I haven't even seen an org chart yet, but I've just been told "those teams over there are getting outsourced next month". So I think I know why there is no up-to-date org chart...

It's different. But it's a pay rise, and I'm not bored anymore. The level of coordination required to get anything done here is a learning exercise in itself. After my first week I was worried I wasn't cut out for this sort of thing, but after a couple more weeks I'm finding it... fun? Still weird though.
