I only haxe one phone with Thunderbird. Checked but I see no way to add folders. Since TB is based on K-9 Mail I assume the latter can't do it either but will check. FairEmail, however, does allow for creation of folders.

    Granted I don't run modern Android but being on a custom ROM vs OEM stock has nothing to do with whether or not one should root. Being on a custom ROM doesn't mean you have more control over your device. Where possible I have always been rooted (since Jellybean). Only on rare occasions (device cannot be unlocked) am I not on a custom ROM. I need / want full control over my devices.

    I am, however, one of those persons who does not tell someone they should root nor am I one to tell someone they don't need root. That's up to the individual and their needs. The old adage that if one has to ask whether or not one should root then the answer is probably no.

    Interesting. Never heard of them before. Doing some reading I see they've been around a very long time (mostly as content provider). Even once had an Ubuntu music store. Didn't realize that the company that bought them, Songtradr, also bought Bandcamp (resulting in the loss of half their employees). I remember when Epic Games bought the latter but didn't pay attention after that. Been three years since Epic sold.

    Can't access 7digital on the phone I'm typing on now (guess it doesn't like IVPN) but checked it out on another. Not bad but no flat pricing like on Bandcamp. Charge differently depending format (mp3 vs flac). I'm in the U.S. so will stick with what I know.

    Thought I tried this app but I guess not. Installed it from both F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid (essentially github release). Couldn't get the app to do anything really. Wouldn't play anything (known issue on their git). Not even sure what its music sources are.

    You mentioned Bandcamp. I buy googobs of music from there. Transferred all my music to a NAS running Jellyfin and Navidrome then stream using various clients. Sometimes it seems like I'm hearing some tracks for the first time.

    If I feel a need to discover new music I'll use the Bandcamp app or go through the flood of emails they send. :)

    Don't forget that Newpipe and Pipepipe are also Bandcamp & Soundcloud clients. You can random stream (and download???) using those.

    Sounds like one of those Why Waa Waa questions. There's currently only six browsers listed, at the moment. It's not some all inclusive thing.

    Where's Fennec, where's IronFox, where's WebLibre, where's Cromite or Helium or Tor Browser or or...?

    Give these kinds of lists and the organizers time to check and test things or get additional feedback.

    Yes, ThinkPad is great for Linux. Only had/have a few but always a pleasure to use. So reliable. Plus I really don't like touchpads so ThinkPads for the win. Even have two ThinkPad standalone keyboards (one wireless, one wired) for when I hook up to a mobile device, media box, or mini PC.

    T21, Pentium III - Slackware 12 & Windows XP

    SL510 2847DKU - MX Linux 21.2.1_(respin) FVWM_Ext, OpenBSD, and Void Linux

    E15 Gen 3, AMD Ryzen 7 - Slackware 15

    X1 Carbon Gen 3, Intel Core i7 - Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile Spin

    Anyone know if it's possible to use the SIM slot in the X1 Carbon? Also, any recommendations for an alternate distro that is ideal for that laptop/tablet combo?

    When trying to login to lemmy.ml I am being told my password is now too short. That's fine but how can I change it if I can't login?

    Right now I'm posting from the Jerboa client which I dare not log out of. Checked within the app but don't see where I can change anything.

    Nerdica Status (lemmy.ml)
     

    I think I originally asked in the wrong place.

    Some days ago I couldn't access Nerdica but my XMPP was still working. The next day it was up so I figured it was maintenance. Now it seems completely down.

    Ping fails. One server checking site also shows it as down. Any issues with Nerdica?

     

    I know there are some CLI junkies using Termux on their Android phones but the terminal has always been a separate app. Termux Expert Launcher changes that. Always at-the-ready terminal while being able to quickly launch Android apps when needed. Type a few letters and matching apps show up below. The command app by itself will present a scrollable list of installed apps. Been sticking with this for awhile now and liking it quite a bit. Best on larger devices.
