I am with Google Workspace, so most of the time I would use the website, but if I had to use something, it would be Thunderbird on Desktop and Spark on Mobile.
Spark on both Android and Win. The AI integration is surprisingly useful, albeit I think a paid feature. I also personally like the look of the clients and they are pretty fully featured.
Well. Long term apple user. I had everything. MacBook, Apple TV, iPhone, Apple Watch. But somewhen I crossed roads too much with the walled garden.
I compared a lot of Android driven brands and how everything works. The final nail was actually usability. I have been more flexible with Android and Windows than Apple and Windows.
Of course the experience is smooth with Apple. But imo Android and iOS devices have their benefits and for me thats Android - Also because I can easily switch brands and stuff.
No conspiracy necessary. A business is supposed to make money, and do whatever will be the most profitable for them. This is their primary reason to exist.
So, if destroying competitors would help them do this, then they should destroy their competitors. The only reason for them to do anything else is if we made and enforced laws that stopped them.
They are supposed to follow the law though. Not just some vague idea of “what’s right”.
I’ve just started playing Etrian Odyssey 1 and been liking it a whole bunch. And have ignited a general interest in this genre of games, I normally play lots of different Traditional Roguelikes (not lite) and find many of the game mechanics the same / interesting.
Does any have recommendations for other First-person Dungeon Crawlers?
Been looking into the original Wizardry series and new game in early access: Wizardry: The Five Ordeals.
Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher - Edward J. Watts
As the title says. The author tries to stress the fact that the book is primarily about her life and work, which always gets overshadowed by her death. It was pretty good as both a book about her, and general Alexandrian life in her age, but quite short (around 150 pages)
Women Writers of Ancient Greece and Rome: An Anthology - Ian Michael Plant
Contains fragments from ancient women writers about various topics. It was good, but sadly not much was preserved through time, the fragments were often very short.
Oooh this is right up my alley. Was it also an entertaining read, or was it a little dry/difficult to get through? Non-fiction can be really hit or miss for me
Depends on how interested you are, I guess. The Hypatia book wasn’t dry at all, and it’s a pretty good showcase on how people actually used philosophy as a lifestyle. I just wish it had more, but you can only get so much from a limited source. Hypatia was mostly written about to discuss her violent death than how she lived.
The other book I honestly wouldn’t recommend if you’re not actually interested in the topic, because the contents will not entertain anyone by themselves. There are a couple of mostly complete poems and letters, but for the vast majority, the only thing that was preserved was a handful of lines. But to supplement that, the authors provide an introduction to every writer beforehand, so you can get a sense of what was accomplishable for women in that period. It’s a good book in that sense, but not very entertaining by itself.
Tte Hypatia one I recommend wholeheartedly to anyone who’s interested.
