A big round of applause to Micah and Sol from our UX team for their awesome work on this, and to our community for your valuable feedback here and on our #Thunderbird UX mailing list (https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/ux).
@thunderbird can I offer a feature to focus on? I get long rich html newsletters, and I can't search them. Ctrl-F is greyed in the edit menu. The technology exists, why can't I search texts?
I tried saving, renaming the .eml to
.html, load them in Firefox, and then search worked odd, but that's for a different ticket ;)
Anyone else just... not particularly moved by travel? I don't necessarily dislike travel, but keeping a garden and a library is my preference 99% of the time. I find most travel stressful and disruptive, and I mostly do it to support books or see family.
@ZachWeinersmith well, I'm not into shopping or graves, but I love the sensual immersion of smells, tastes and sights (and hearing some accents) of somewhere new. Or visiting a museum that has something unique to experience that can't be emulated via screens and books. Taking a walk in Kyoto's streets and temples, climbing and Icelandic hill to get a better look at flowing lava, visiting a 200+ year old whisky distillery in Scotland, food excursion in a Mumbai market. These are worth it.
@dangillmor well, I looked up the "plagiarism" case against Gay, and it's a bit forced. It's obviously a hit piece to fire her for not standing up to antisemites, which I guess was not reason enough.
As for the sudden interest in Oxman, it's too odd a coincidence, and smells of petty vendetta. She's a gifted successful Israeli that achieved her accolades without her partner's influence (AFAIK) so it smells more than a little iffy and antisemitic again.
This is depressing to read. Artists found out how good AI drawing is. It sucks that artists, writers, and other creative jobs are going to be replaced with AI. The future looks bleak for creative folks. What do you think?
@nixCraft
I have a few friends in the biz, and they just treat it as one more tool in the toolbox. It's true it is more disruptive than Photoshop was 30 years ago, but it helps them do their work faster. In the case of animators, it will cut down on staff, that's true, but maybe it will free people doing tedious work for others to do original work of their owm...
Is there an old SMBC shirt design you'd like to see brought back? Print on demand has gotten much higher quality over the years and I'm looking to move shirt inventory in that direction. This'll also allow for more super short run shirts for weirdos who want something weird.
I've been brewing on this thought for a while, but I think it comes down to, AI has no place in the arts. Machine-generated art has the appearance of what it is emulating, but no substance. Like cake made entirely of fondant. Or cardboard.
@Gargron it's ok, people hated Photoshop when it first started treating real pictures. generative SALAMI is integrated into Photoshop and Gimp as we speak and will be used for in-painting and out-painting in so many places it will just become seamless.
