@vivaldi.com Hello! Does Vivaldi Mail/Calendar connect directly to the IMAP/CalDAV server from the app? Or does it proxy this connection through an intermediate server? I wasn't able to find anything on the website or privacy policy.

I keep seeing that article about some tech companies trying to move to a 9-9-6 schedule and I'm SCREAMING. THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO ORGANIZE, THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T JUST LET THEM ROLL OVER US, THE BOSSES ARE ALWAYS GOING TO WANT MORE WORK, MORE MONEY, MORE BLOOD FROM THE STONE

Why a 4-day work week? The bargaining unit members of Kickstarter United’s top priority in our next contract is securing a permanent 4-day workweek for all employees. 1. Health & wellness: The 4DWW allows us the opportunity to rest, reset, and refresh, reducing the likelihood of stress-related health impacts. 2. Well-roundedness: It allows us to balance work with family time, friendship, hobbies, and creativity, so that we can be more than just our job title. 3. Better employees: With one less day a week at our disposal, we develop creative solutions to work more efficiently to hit our goals and deliver business value.

How the team spends their Fridays “The 4DWW allows me to make more time for my family, who all live on the opposite coast from me. This includes a recent trip out to New York to celebrate my grandmother’s 100th birthday with her!” -Katja Cresanti, Infrastructure Engineer “I have photosensitive migraines and since migraines can start at anytime, it’s sometimes challenging to stick to plans. Having an extra day on the weekend lets me say “yes” to more experiences with the flexibility to push off plans a day instead of canceling outright. It also gives me a day to recover so I can feel my best during the work-week! Last weekend I went onion picking at a farm in upstate NY.”-Lilit Balagyozyan, Senior Product Designer "We are our raising our first baby, which takes time to figure out how to be a parent while also making time to do things I love like being outside. There are many factors to work-life balance and adding a child certainly adjusts the equation. The 4DWW gives me the flexibility I need to balance my and my family needs, while making me a better, more productive teammate at Kickstarter.” -Nathan Nalevanko, Senior Outreach Lead (D&T) "The 4DWW allows me to travel, refresh, and reset while using fewer vacation days. Last week I was able to travel to Ireland and France with my fiancé!” -Hillary Taverna, Senior Product Manager "The 4DWW allows me to volunteer and organize events for the LGBTQ+ Desi community in LA, who are my extended chosen family!” -Shubha Rajan, Software Engineer

Everette (the CEO of Kickstarter) agrees! "I decided to move us from a pilot to a more permanent move to the 4DWW [...] Ultimately it came down to the well-being of our employees. People were living more well-balanced and healthier lives and we had maintained productivity. As a CEO, I have a responsibility to take care of my people, not just make revenue.” Source: Everette Taylor’s Appetite for Risk, The One Club for Creativity, October 2023

Creating Better Tools, Without Burning Out. Our latest features prove that rest and results can go hand in hand. 1. Pledge Over Time: A flexible payment option that lets backers spread out their pledge, making it easier for creators to turn interest into support. 2. Dark Mode on Mobile: A sleek, system-responsive dark theme for the iOS app—one of our most requested mobile features, now live.

We know the 4-day workweek works.

At Kickstarter United, we’re pushing to make it permanent because we’ve seen the impact. It helps us avoid burnout, make space for life, and still launch big wins. We’re better workers and better people because of it.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Chat bubbles have been implemented, allowing messages to be displayed above characters' heads. Chat bubble settings, including options to adjust text and background color can be found under the General tab of Log Window settings in the Character Configuration menu. Additional Rules The display of chat bubbles can be enabled or disabled at any time. * Chat bubbles are disabled by default. * Chat bubbles will not display when using performance actions, during battle, or during PvP encounters. Even when enabled, there is an additional setting to display your own messages. A slider is also available to adjust the number of chat bubbles shown, from 10 to 100. When multiple chat bubbles overlap, the most recent message will appear in the foreground.

I am both very happy that chat bubbles are finally in the game, but also how on earth did it take this long to get there? The confirmation they were coming was over a year ago, and the Yoshi-P mods scoldpost was from 2022, three years ago. What took so long?! #ffxiv

new video shows the ICE agent who claimed he was randomly "assaulted" by this 4'11" US citizen on her way to work is shown literally picking her up and carrying her away.

Happy one year anniversary to me for something. 😌

Had no idea this existed, thank you.

I slowed down Pedro De La Vega's goal strike last night because it's one of those goals that just is going to stay with you until your dying days

the way it pings off the pipes three times is just *chef's kiss*

I was freaking out in the moment at "seven goal win against Cruz Azul" but on replay, this is one of the most beautiful, technical goals I've ever seen. Absolute cinema.

On top of the allegations of employee abuse and recipe plagiarism and toxic behavior, Joshua Weissman also treats safety way too flippantly. This is how he introduces the concept of knife skills. The target viewer will be someone who CANNOT DO THIS and he's telling them to try.

The sudden pet losses must be so difficult. Hope the new kitty has brought some light to chase the darkness away. ❤️‍🩹

We knew this was coming for awhile (18-20yo, she had numerous health problems and just somehow kept bouncing back), so we've already got our plan to get a pair of bonded cats next.

Honey needed a lot of care (dedicated 2+ hours a day easily) so we're taking a little break first. Likely in Sept/Oct.

Last time I didn't have a cat, Apple was about to launch this weird new "App Store" thing.

Damn you mean itch didn’t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

Thank you Emily 🧡 Today and always.

Gave her the best send off we possibly could— a home visit vet, sitting on the patio, a sunny day with a pleasant breeze, just falling asleep with her head by my heart. 🥹

Sleep well, my sweet angel. I’ll miss you so, so much. 🧡

Honey went to sleep this morning, peacefully resting in our arms on our patio in the warm sun and gentle Washington breeze. She was an angel of a cat and we will miss her dearly. 🧡

Last night with our kitty before we say goodbye tomorrow.

We've posted an addendum FAQ to our original blog post about NSFW content. You can read it here: itch.io/updates/upda...

Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. We're upset too. We're doing what we can but there are still many unknowns at this point.

Any "Itch should've pushed back" arguments are bad faith made by people who have put in no effort into thinking about the immediate aftermath of that idea, unless they also explicitly state they want collateral damage to Itch's staff and developers because they bravely took on hosting NSFW content.

This really reads like the exhausted words of a team that's been on the receiving end of abuse for 72+ hours. Itch has gotten so many comments calling them some flavor of evil for not self-immolating. The Internet has decided that platforms are ok to send harassment to and that sucks.

Fight back with your phone Organized, polite calls to payment processors like Mastercard and Stripe are creating pressure. Here’s how to join the effort—and why your voice matters.

I launched Uncensored Artists this weekend to support indie NSFW creators with info, advocacy, and action. The latest post breaks down why the phone campaign to Visa, Stripe, etc is working — and how you can help.
