Auto-configuration nowadays is a lot better in pretty much any email client, thanks to our friend the DNS. But Thunderbird is still a bit behind in that regard compared to outlook.

Thunderbird on the desktop for serious work
I wonder what kind of serious work involves email.
You mean the fantasy you have about them doing anything illegal?
Meanwhile, Trump made fake magazine covers of himself.
Right. Trump made fake magazine covers, and Clinton took money from Putin, from China, from Saudis and so on. I can see why you would throw Trump in jail and give Clinton the keys to the white house.
change the theme of your cocksucking fawning
Looks to me that you're the one who's pretty intense on the whole cocksucking/gay stuff. Maybe you have issues to deal with before you can get involed in serious discussions.
If a presidential candidate or surrogates secretly work with a foreign adversary to manipulate elections and get their candidate elected, that would be a pretty textbook case of treason.
You mean like the Clinton Foundation?
Where do you see Bail Bonds as predatory? ( like what state? )
I work in the Bail Bonds industry, I am curious.
Because there's a 10% or 15% premium (give or take) and a captive market. So basically people pay to stay out of jail because they don't have the money to post a bond themselves. I'm not saying the service should be free but correct me if I'm mistaken: on most cases the bondsman doesn't pay a dime to get that 10% fee.
"Rich hypocrites" ? If you dislike it, open up your own payday company and charge lower interest.
I was referring to Google. Next time you have an unused quota of SJW accusations try to find a more relevant thread to spend it.
Payday lenders make sure they are paid first whether the borrower has the money or not, so in many cases what would be a default is turned into an overdraft fee instead.
Believe it or not, that's basically a form of credit, just like when someone only pays the minimum on their credit card debt. There's nothing crooked or evil about it.
Here's a quote from the lobbyist leading this boycott:
At a time when corporations are finally being held accountable for their roles in enabling mass incarceration, it is encouraging to see a company as powerful as Google cutting ties with businesses that profit from incarcerating poor Black and brown people... Google's announcement comes after months of advocacy by our organizations. We hope this decision encourages other corporations to take proactive steps to sever ties with the for-profit bail industry and end the incentives that fuel mass incarceration.
This is retarded. The bail industry is not "fueling mass incarceration", they're allowing people with limited funds to remain free instead of waiting in jail for months or years.
It's not dumb terminals, it's more like having a mini Google in semis and uhauls parked in every neighborhood in the world, for the sake of making your echo chamber as regional as possible. It's divide and conquer, pure and simple
I stopped reading at "I stopped reading"
The Cloud can be useful. For instance I pay $5/month for Office365, where I have a big inbox for +50 domains, and I have a TB of OneDrive storage, and once in a blue moon when I need to use Excel or Word I can use the web version. If it was $100/month I'd probably put together my own box and stash it somewhere in a closet, but for $5 it's totally worth letting Microsoft deal with the hassle.
Virtual machines are a different beast. It's very expensive to get anything semi-reliable in the cloud (no SLA unless you have a LB cluster) and because everything is a la carte it adds up. On a dollar basis, nothing beats a decent VPS like Linode.
A lot of people have swallowed the "container in the cloud" kool-aid by the gallons.
Dude that's so 2016. Kool Kids now use Serverless, not containers.
Because "Client side processing" is soooo 90s and early 2000s!!
(rolls eyes)
Edge computing doesn't mean client-side computing. It means that The Big Cloud has a lot ot Tiny Clouds spread all over the globe to store your browsing history (and emails if you use gmail) closer to regional advertisers.
Ray, you will still be able to search for bail bondsmen via Google. You just won't get their ads pushed at you
If you see nothing wrong with that, then don't come here to whine and bitch the day they decide to block stuff you personally care about.
Such arrogance, smh
