If you don’t want to pre-order, don’t. But don’t just assume that the cancelation of a playtest means the game is broken.

Announcing they’ve gone gold, two months prior to launch, is surely to assuage doubts that the game is being rushed or incomplete.

It’s the correct move, and shows that they believe in their product. Hopefully it isn’t a deception.

Genuinely hope this one turns out great, as I loved the first game.

That’s not what “going gold” means.

It means that they’ve completed development and are prepping their final release CDs/builds.

Functionally, it means development has stopped because the dev team has deemed it complete enough for physical release builds.

Aah, now I understand.

There is no such setting that I’m immediately aware of - but I am automatically getting messages for my folders. So I’m assuming it’s doing something in the background: most likely a periodic sync for the entire account.

Definitely doesn’t sound like the behavior you wanted, my bad. But, at least there are notifications on the folders once mail is received. 😅

Edit: In the repo for their sync engine it explains:

Mailspring uses a fairly basic syncing algorithm, which runs on two threads with two open connections to the mail server. Within each thread, work is performed synchronously.

Background Worker: Periodically iterates over folders and (depending on the supported IMAP features) uses CONDSTORE / XYZRESYNC to check for mail or performs either a “local” or “deep” sync of part of the folder’s UID space.

Foreground Worker: Idles on the primary folder and wakes to syncs changes. Also wakes to perform other tasks, like fetching message bodies the user clicks.

So the foreground worker only idles on the primary folder, but it does slowly iterate over all folders in the background.

No settings have been added for this functionality (that I’m aware of).

Edit 2: Went back and read your original comment; hadn’t noticed the PR was yours. If that’s the case then you’re probably aware of how the sync works anyway. My bad if I’ve posted stuff you’re already aware of.

Kristi Noem, the Republican governor of South Dakota who has been dogged by controversy (…)

Oh, the Guardian - I see what you did there, and I love it.

Regardless, happy to see at least one troll creature slithering away from the public light. I wish the same would happen to some of the more prolific, Jewish-Space-Laser-Conspiracy touting types.

A man can dream.

Edit: Should have read the whole thing through before commenting. Looks like she’s just trying to sweep the bad PR under the rug, which was linked to her old account. The dream is dead.

Fastmail.

Can you choose which folders use real-time push vs which folders use polling?

I’m afraid not. I’m pretty sure the entire account uses polling. I’ll usually open the app and hit F5 to quickly poll for results, otherwise I’m waiting for the next sync.

Having said that, the unread counter works fine for sub-folders:

Edit: I was wrong, Mailspring uses the IMAP IDLE extension to wait for new mail delivery. Still doesn’t stop me from spamming F5 when I’m waiting for new mail to arrive.

Notifications on folders a have been added (I sort all my mail into a plethora of folders, keeping my inbox empty, so for me this is non-negotiable), and they all sync with a single f5 now.

Might be worth checking out again?

Mailspring, best client I’ve used in a while.

While I grew up playing the original Crazy Taxi (in arcade machine form, no less), I’m certain it would fail if released with the same gameplay formula today.

Some changes were necessary, for sure.

Having said that, making it massively multiplayer with a persistent open world definitely seems like a step in the wrong direction.

Something more akin to a modern roguelike with an expanding gameplay area and meaningful vehicle upgrades between runs probably would have been enough.

But, having said that, I’m hoping the studio is able to make something great. I’m very-cautiously optimistic.

Because it annoys me deeply when people nerd out over difficult-to-search-for acronyms without ever bothering to explain it for people not in the know:

The web comic’s called “the Parking Lot is Full”.

It ran from 1993 to 2002, and while the original site has been down for years, you can still browse parts of it via archive.org.

I always liked their UX, and never noticed any outright bugs?

But, yeah, definitely dislike the Spyware - I recall having to adb shell into the device and manually disable those processes after each update.

Shame they include that, their devices are (otherwise) really great.

It has a little something for everyone.

Pricey!

That garlic cilantro compound butter sounds like a great addition; well done!

As a player who’s played 4U, GU, World, and Rise; I’m kind of okay with that loss. The hunting side of things was always very weak and unintuitive (to me).

I think putting more emphasis on interactions with the world kind of help justify the existence of the open world - but more emphasis on finding and tracking monsters just seems like a step in a direction the teams - historically - haven’t been the best at.

This is just my opinion, though - shame to see a part you liked about the games being reduced.

Turkish middle school, high school, and university exams are very serious.

Basically everyone takes the same set of long exams (with a few additions you can add to your standard exam sets, for specialized schools) and when the results come out, you are compared to all other students in the nation.

Like, think global leaderboards.

The best universities will outright reject you if your ranking isn’t high enough.

It’s very intense and cut-throat; so much so that - when I was a young’un growing up in Turkey - I just opted to try my hand at the SATs instead. Ended up going to school abroad.

The SATs were so easy, compared to the exam prep we did in our Turkish classes, it almost felt like a joke. Though, college tuition costs definitely made sure I wasn’t the one with the last laugh.

Its latest commit is from 4 days ago, so it looks like work is still ongoing.

It’s odd, but not unheard of for open source applications to have large windows between releases. They just might not have a reason to bump major versions, at the moment.

If you want the commits since 2022, you can always install a dev build from github.

Mine is in 6 days, oh boy.

Well, that just looks incredible. 2025 can’t come soon enough.

As a Turk, let me just add:

It’s very well known that the AA is basically just Tayyip’s propoganda machine. It’s a very hard bias towards whatever he’s looking to say, at that point in time, not necessarily right or left wing.

Bowl mixer? Just put on a podcast and knead that by hand for 15 minutes. Ez-pz.
