It was better that way anyways

I thought QPFs are generated from ensemble forecasts?

You're better off looking at QPFs than regular forecasts.

But, if you're wanting something like "will there be rain at this GPS coordinate at this time", then under some conditions that is just impossible to predict. It's not a problem with the how clever the models are or a lack of data, the physics makes it legitimately random.

If you have 100+ apps you're going to need either a ton of organization or a search tool. Some people will meticulously organize their apps into folders, while others go for the search

And this is exactly why emojis suck and should never have been invented

Tracking ads is also a problem, just a different one. The whole point of ads is to manipulate your behavior. There's plenty of reason to not want to make that more effective

The entire goal is to use money to change your behavior. They're inherently manipulative by definition. It's literally weaponized mass manipulation. There's no way to spin that as a positive effect.

If you think about it in terms of it's effects, advertising is the closest thing we have to mind control: companies are paying money to change the behavior of millions of people. Even without any concrete examples, you can easily see how dystopic it really is when you just think about the intention alone

You're talking about Thunderbird, a project they basically abandoned to the community. Thunderbird survives in spite of Mozilla, not because of it. Meanwhile their main product Firefox is still bleeding users down into the single digit percentages while receiving half a billion a year from Google. It takes a lot of skill to run such a company so deep into the ground.

Firefox actually had tab groups way back, but Mozilla, in their infinite wisdom, removed it because apparently their main mission now is to antagonize all their loyal power users.

I don't think the car manufacturer is getting that data, but iirc the part of Android Auto that runs on the head unit does collect data when disconnected, then send it to Google when the phone is connected.

I've been using DavMail, which is FOSS. It works as a local proxy to translate IMAP to Exchange API.

That's not going to get you Thunderbolt, mate
