I got a pull request from "tea.xyz" related individual and unraveled a mess of a disappointing project.

Yet another “brilliant” scheme from a cryptobro. Naturally this caused a gold-rush for scammers who outsourced random people via the gig economy to open PRs for this yml file (example)

    This is me, yesterday, on realizing that gmail doesn’t have inbox sorting options, something elm had in *1986*.

    (Look, I know everyone else has long since become beaten into the ground by gmail’s quirks, but I don’t use it personally, and whenever I’m at a job that allows gmail IMAP clients I use those instead. It honestly never occurred to me that the dominant client that’s slowly strangling all small mailers wouldn’t have “change sort order” as a basic fucking function.)

      The deficiencies in the goog interfaces, across multiple products, are legion. I recall someone talking about it recently compared to Palm Pilot, and how the latter could do detail obscuring when just wanting to share a single piece of information on a screen (think the examples used were calendar and contact)

      The other “fun” thing is how they kill off features/things to force people into how they want a thing to be used. And I believe IMAP with normal credential auth is one of those on the list for later this year… 😡
