I've seen several posts claiming that turning off smart features in gmail breaks filtering. this isn't true; I did not enable smart features when I was first prompted to do so and all my filters still work. my email would be absolutely unusable without them

the idea that any form of racism might be based on some legitimate grievance is poisonous, and the idea it can be defeated by addressing it on that basis is ridiculous bsky.app/profile/sund...
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood made more explicit her argument that when ethnic minorities face racism, "we have no choice but to ask: what is the cause of our division"

every day I am baffled and have to work around the fact that someone at slack decided that if someone replies to you in a channel, that reply should be displayed in a completely different part of the application that doesn't respond to the same keyboard inputs as the rest of the app
