The correct way to do this is to run an IMAP syncing program automatically, to keep a mirror of all your email on your local machine. Then you point Claws at the local machine, not at the remote IM...
I have a Pixel 5A running Android 12 (I assume stock Android because it's a Pixel, but I don't know how to tell). The phone app that came with it reports probable spam or scam calls by labeling th...

The URL of the site shows "powerusers", matching the drop down list of sites at the top right of the page, and the list of sites in the page footer, which both say "Power Users" (plural). However, ...
I'm using firefox to access duolingo. The website offers settings to disable motivational messages and animations. However the settings frequently turn themselves back on automatically. Is there...
The problem is that these two settings are only stored in the local storage of the browser and not transmitted to duolingo. This means that when the local storage is cleared for some reason (for me...
Not a logo professional or active member of this community, so take all these with a grain of salt, but some ideas I see are: Get rid of the "button" icons, they aren't very easy to see and add ...
TL;DR Turns out the correct name is #pageAction-urlbar-metrication_deltamikecharlie { display: none !important; } Long version: How to find the name? There is actually a nice guide at ht...
Sorry if the title is weird, please feel free to suggest a rephrase. I have a personal server in my closet. I host various software on this for my family's use. The vast majority of the time I con...
I use email frequently, for many things, some of them important (banks, work). From what I've seen, all the offline mail clients (like Thunderbird, Evolution, Kmail) suck for a power user - mail fi...
Determining the encoding of binary data representing text is a notoriously difficult problem, which basically comes down to probabilities. UTF-8 is one of the few exceptions that I know of, becaus...

Two possbilities: A firmware upgrade supports this feature. You can't. I also have a Lenovo laptop, purchased in 2018, and it does allow me to set the limit to charge to. Here is a screen sho...
Thanks to Samcarter for suggesting Abiword! It does quite more than just coloring text, but it's much lighter than Libreoffice (I only had to install two dependencies). Files can be saved in vari...
I would like to suggest Canina. Although there aren't yet so many posts in which we could get to know how others handle things, I think they could be a good moderator for these reasons: base...

If you ask strictly about partitions, then you can't... One partition is on one disk, the other partition is on another disk. Therefore, you cannot combine/merge both partitions. One part(ition) o...
You could use Maxima. Some packages offer a GUI (Xmaxima or Wxmaxima, if I'm not mistaken), but you can use it in the terminal. Below, an interactive terminal Maxima session in which I define and ...
