Filters are stored in a file which you can easily copy between computers: https://kb.mozillazine.org/Message_Filters#Export.2FImport

Thanks. But expecting end users to go online and perform a search to find out where the filters are stored on their platform (or platforms, if the source and destination are different) and copy them is pretty inexcusable at this point.

I don't understand the opposition to filter import/export.


I hear you, but for everybody who wants to export filters, there's somebody who wants to export just something else (address book, messages, settings, etc.). There really is no end to it, and it's a PITA to cover all those cases. I'm pretty sure that's what plugins are for: if there's enough demand for a filter exporter, somebody could write a plugin.

Most people just want to export everything (e.g. to transfer their acct to another computer), and for that they can use the build-in full export (Tools -> Export).


Is there a way to visit this online, without having to download and install software locally?


Thank you. Seems to be down, though; web dev tools indicate unable to open websocket to wss://progressbackend.minefact.de/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket&sid=...

> No ones going to use your product because he saw some crap on TikTok. It's cheap engagement

If your product is a wellness product or app, that's like catnip for a TikTok influencer. If it's a B2B SaaS, probably the opposite.


This might work to some degree if you can run your project by many eyeballs, but only if they aren't immediately made gun shy by interacting with a low quality product. A focus group environment would be good for this, but setting that up costs money.

It's still a bit wonky. When I visit https://www.govauctions.app/feed?zip=10003&distance=50 I see items in AL and AZ, which are many hundreds of miles away from 10003 (NYC).

Ok, I'll dig into this more.

> You have fifteen years of it.

For some of us it has been much longer than fifteen years.


I noticed the barcodes on the reporter's printed tickets in that video. I hope a nefarious actor doesn't freeze-frame it and reprint them.

The ones that the reporter says were for yesterday's game? I guess if the nefarious actor also has a time machine, that'd be a pretty big risk.

This is another reason why etickets are used, they regenerate the barcodes

Mouse scroll wheel works, too

I would have expected something other than false for "se7en".

I don't mind getting a welcome email. It also tells me when somebody has attempted to sign up for a service using my email address.

What I find annoying is services that only send the welcome email once, and don't let you resend it if you never receive it.
