I took the opposite path: after years of concealing my age as much as possible I grew out my beard, which is very much gray. I got positive results pretty quickly, though not how I expected.

People were attracted to what they imagined was the depth of my experience. Not that this imagined depth isn't real, but they didn't usually investigate far enough to know whether it was real. The gray beard was all they needed.

No need to either excuse ageism or let it stop you. It's real. So is the personal freedom of movement that lets you find ways around it.

After hunting for a desktop and mobile Gmail replacement for a while, I have settled on Bluemail for both. Along the way I tried Mail.app, Thunderbird, and various open source thingies. None were close enough to the quality level of Gmail.

This new situation is probably good enough to keep me off gmail for good.

So, for example, if it's simply illustrating factual aspects of an API or other resource then it's outside of the license.

You're right. A meme is uneditable once it takes off.

That's one of the open questions. YES. Absolutely.

You need to migrate all the other google products you use with that email, including Photos, Play Store, Contacts, etc. It's about 20 products.

You are trivializing a migration that involves more than ten times as many components. Here's my todo list for the same problem:

- gmail - drive storage - calendar - contacts - keep - photos - music - domains - Pay - adsense - webmaster tools - analytics - authenticator - Home - maps - chrome - youtube - Play - email at external sites

Can you explain your idea about using Cloud Identity Free Edition in order to allow an email at a third party to own Play Store apps?

I'm really happy to see a non-Amazon site for this purpose. That's great. But this is just as proprietary. If it takes off it will become property of one of the FAANGs.

So close and so far.

Thanks for the core and cast shadow reference. That's something I've been struggling to figure out by eye.

> There are definite authorities, always.

> Somebody owns admin privileges on the shared repo and site. Somebody knows the passwords. Somebody is recognized by outsiders as the voice and face. Somebody owns the domain.

> Most importantly, somebody does a large enough proportion of work to dominate the shape of the project. And that goes to the most important force in open-source governance: the tyranny of volunteerism.

> Nobody tells a volunteer what to do. A leader gives no orders. A leader helps a volunteer choose what to work on. A leader helps a volunteer learn how to be effective. A leader enables.

You're precisely missing the point. There is a new feature to better capture non-white skin tones. Those photos are to illustrate a product benefit.

"As a business with a new open source release, we're thinking a lot about how to transition our way of working. Business and open source are really different. The differences are not superficial.

Releasing our code wasn't a small project. Becoming open is bigger."

My team is in the process of switching over from GitLab to GitHub. We're doing it because GitHub is the standard for open source work, and we are open-sourcing our work.

The important thing for us is that developers already have accounts and know their way around.

Bluemail. I've used it for years and am very happy.

You should raise money at the end of the first call.

The first priority is to get them on the hook. Sell them on what you can do.

Then get a picture of who they are as a company and about the scope of the project. This gives you a sense of the budget.

Then talk money. What are their expectations? Are expectations in line with budget?

We call them the secrets.

No can do. The whole thing is a get rich quick scam by Marcus Aurelius.

I changed my hair style to a #1 buzz cut so I could do it myself.

However I still do a patchy job and commercial cutters clearly do it better.

Standard Notes. I have a single item for each day, dated today, with additional tags as they become relevant.

Open source. Multiplatform. Stable.

My only beef is that the Android client is slow when the number of notes is high.

How I loathe Verizon-Yahoo. I opened that link, the giant intrusive cookie warning blared, I recoiled and gave up on the story.

Because the underground economy funded by illegal recreational drugs is causing incredible violence. Mexico and Afghanistan, to give just two examples, are in a state of civil war, where one side is the official government and the other is the drug business. This violence is much more harmful than recreational drugs, even the worst of them.

Even fentanyl and meth should be legal.

Better to take a first step than none at all.

I did, but that library is now too out of date to use. Go hunt around on NPM and you'll find something good.

But, again, try to avoid the need for a tour by covering everything important in the natural flow of onboarding.

I recently investigated this feature for merico.build. I found that it's controversial. The counter argument is that you have to get the UX right without it.

The middle ground I have chosen is to rejigger the UX to optimize the first minute or so. The user will start with demo data preinstalled. The top of the first page they see will be optimized for the first run.

Good luck.

Great question. If something good comes up here I'll jump on it.

I agree that "An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments" isn't a fit for kids. The pictures are good but the language wouldn't make sense.

Try Cauldron.io.
