mastodon 4.5.7

Fulltime freelance provider of outreach and enhancement in maths ... I talk a lot. About maths.

I talk about other stuff too, like ballroom dancing, juggling, unicycling, education, engineering, software, and "other things".

But mostly about maths.

I tend to follow back, but only if you have something in your profile.

My elderly mother uses Windows 10, and her laptop isn't up to Windows 11, so she will continue to use it.

She is familiar with Outlook for email, and *hates* the web interface for GMail. She has two email addresses that she needs to access.

We are thinking of moving her to Linux Mint Cinnamon, though it will take some time to get to a point where she is content to make the change.

What email package is nearly identical to Outlook on Linux Mint?

Apparently in Italian there is a word for: "Men of retirement age who spend their time watching construction sites, especially roadworks – stereotypically with hands clasped behind their back and offering unrequested advice to the workers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umarell

Something our minister said yesterday made me look up a quotation, and once again, "AI" shows just how reliable it is. With a stray "W" in the quotation it gets attributed to one writer, and without it the quotation gets attributed to someone else entirely. Don't. Trust. "AI".
