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 sen

> Even better, for a few months the browsers themselves would highlight RSS feeds and allow you subscribe right in the browser. It was too good to last. I use the Awesome RSS add-on for that in Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.

I slapped together a little shareable sprint calendar tool, since I was constantly finding myself having to click too many times in other tools to get what should be a simple at-a-glance overview. I now use it almost every day, during team

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, driv

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.

I just made a simple sprint calendar so I could keep track of my team's big dates more effectively at work, at a glance from my phone etc. https://sprintcalendar.com My team runs with: https://sprintcalendar.com&

Take note of things in your day-to-day which annoy you. I became a product owner for a team running 3-week sprints, and kept finding myself being caught out in stakeholder meetings - being asked for prospective delivery dates relative to ou

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 ra

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

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 bu

That medical software is simply bad is also my experience, having been an IT Manager for a clinic management company for a few years now. In Australia at least, 85%+ of medical practices run one of two practice management systems. Both of t

I'm most excited about these too, but for another reason: noise. Looking for a place to live, and there are many nice suburban streets which I pretty much have to avoid because I am such a light sleeper. A late night or early morning b

I use https://pinpayments.com/ to accept credit/debit cards. My target market is 100% Australian so it was an easy option for me, but it won't be suitable for most people here.

True, and this is the reason I instead direct friends to options such as Authy or Aegis which allow the use of more than one device. Unfortunately my bank (ANZ) and my government's online platform (myGov) in AU both have dedicated OTP

German internet didn't seem so bad to me, and I suspect it is because I am Australian. The parallels between Telstra and Telekom were uncanny. In Germany eventually I ended up with 50mbit VDSL which was fine, but having to get Telekom

Indeed. And it's worth remembering that one of those design constraints for the South Australia project was Musk's "Done in 100 days or it's free" offer. While surely done for publicity, it was in fact included in t

As best I can tell, it adds risks which may or may not be a sufficient deterrent - depending on the business. Once $10k+ cash transactions are banned, questions will be raised over any cash withdrawals that a business makes that are near, a

I am not sure how much you've had to do with the LGBT+ community as a whole, but please do not reduce "Pride" to certain risque parts of certain glitzy annual parades. That is just a media-distilled version of the tip of a ve

Because this is a misunderstanding of LGBT+ "Pride". It is not just "Pride" in the common sense - rather it is in opposition to Shame. Straight people have never been systematically subjected to shaming due to their se

I'm an IT/SysAdmin type guy so I don't really code beyond web stuff at a hobbyist level, though I did do CompSci at uni way back when. However when I followed my partner overseas for a few years, the only job I had while away
