A Lovely 10Centuries Blog

@hazardwarning If I had a problem with emails hijacking attention they don’t deserve, I’d set up mail rules to shift all but the high priority stuff out of my main inbox view.

Instead, I use message preview and treat email as a stream. I pick out what I want and leave the rest. When I get annoyed by too much “the rest,” I select all and disappear it.

I also have disabled alerts about new messages from all but immediate family, disabled badging on my phone for anything but messages from immediate family, and disabled badging on my laptop entirely.

I regard email as a “when you get to it, if you get to it” communication channel.

@nitinkhanna I’m on 11 now, but I remember setting this sort of thing up under 10, as well. It’s configured per Wireless Network rather than as a general phone setting, but that works fine while at home.

@nitinkhanna Sounds right. Matches my own experiences.

@matigo More predictable for creators that weren’t using the per-post modes. Those who were patronised per post saw their patrons screwed with per-transaction fees if they were posting more than once a month. And if so, it’s likely their patrons were paying less per post, making the ratio of transaction fee to patronage amount substantially higher than with less frequent but larger sums.

It read to me as “yeah, don’t do that, do monthly, and we really want fewer small-fry patrons overall”.

@kdfrawg Oh yum

@matigo ??

@matigo But easy to answer. “Dunno, that was 10 years ago.”

@matigo Did you reinvent XLIFF’s encoding for pluralization-varying translations, or just avoid talking about “you have N anythings” everywhere?

@kdfrawg No-one holds their feet to the fire. Doesn’t take long after the hack for the news cycle to move on and business as usual to return, either.

@matigo Woo! Beating so many websites and apps there.
