Thank you. Each time I see an app that does the smallest change possible (and it's a MacOS-only thing by the way) I think to myself: Does it have to be an APP?
Not a script, not a configuration, but an actual app that occupies space and RAM and does just that? How had somebody come to this weird idea that everything is an APP?
Because that’s been the user convention for 30 years since the day Mac OS 10 was released.
People do not want to manage scripts and configurations in esoteric locations. They want to drag and drop app bundles into the trash from the apps folder.
This is trivially found out after 5 minutes with a user.
KDE does this well though, just make the configuration system modular so in settings you can download, install and manage someone else's windowing and styling from within the system settings panel. Perhaps that wouldn't work so well outside Linux's trust ecosystem
But the parent poster wasn’t recommending a script or a configuration, they were sharing a really easy way to do it by clicking a checkbox in the Settings App.
The support is only for the EWS protocol (MS Graph will probably come next year). You can enable it in beta by going to Config Editor (this is primarily for advanced users), searching for the preference "experimental.mail.ews.enabled" and setting it to true.
You would have to manually add the account. Currently only mail is supported. No calendar support.
Thunderbird users who need full Exchange support today, including mail, are encouraged to try the Owl addon. I used it a few years ago, very happy with it. I think it costs between $10 and $20, not a big expense for business software.
Do you know where to look to get an invite? I really enjoy the high-level discussion and I want to do more than lurk but its a tough nut to crack, it seems.
I'm torn between two sides when thinking about lobste.rs
On one side they have imho high quality content. But on the other side they can keep this just because their registration is invite-only.
Which leads to fewer/smaller discussions.
On HN I don't like everything, but I read a lot more discussions even about topics which I'm not interested in.
I liked lobste.rs but found they were too restrictive on topics.
I kind of like the hacker-adjacent discussions here (notebooks and journaling and reading and whatnot) and lobste.rs seems to block and remove that and there’s no outlet for that type of discussion.
I like they HN, for me, is 80% tech/startup/programming, 10% adjacent and interesting and 10% stuff I just go past.
> Now, one resort for them would be to use Airbnb’s web application on the web browsers of their phones, which doesn’t make much sense.
I never understood why one needs 20 separate apps (100 Mb each) instead of just using a single standard pre-installed web browser. Mobile UI everywhere is fine and functionality is the same.
Nothing against it but I always wonder what leads to posting a link to a website out of the blue sky. No news, no releases, just a link to a frontpage.
I often think it's a program or set of docs that someone happened upon for the first time themselves, but that can't explain all of them; regardless, I love these kinds of posts, for the opportunity to encounter something that others might have assumed to be obvious and the spontaneous discussions that occur
There are ton of junk posts like that every day. The more interesting question is what makes some of these occasionally gain traction and upvotes seemingly at random.
