Thanks, Dr. Dystopia.

Fun fact: this feature used to be built-in to Firefox itself.

“Free, efficient, no bullshit” is kind of the default for Linux software.

He tried his best.

I always listen to my parents’ kid.

The difference is just whether the client app gets notified of new messages/replies by asking the server “Is there anything new?” on a set schedule (pull), or if the server sends the notification “Here’s something new!” only when there is a new one (push).

Yep. I’m not sure if OP was looking for technically-pull clients specifically, though I have to imagine conventional notifications are a basic feature even on iOS.

Checking at a regular interval is “pull” (not push) though. Push means the client keeps a low-bandwidth connection to the server open so the server can notify the client as soon as something has happened.

And you have no privacy?

My money’s still on Bart.

I don’t doubt it exists, but I’m kind of curious about workflows that still involve burning optical media in 2024.

We have the worst fucking client.

Janet?

The hope is, I guess, that outcomes like this will make others think twice. (But since these aren’t even the “think once” types…)

To be fair, the joke is “it goes up to 11.”

Yeah. I found that post after I, too, was banned.
