  • As a younger tech person, I definitely don’t get a lot about email. It’s old and weird and arcane and half it’s features that match newer services seem to be built on top of hacks that are enforced through convention alone that will break if I decide I like to format my titles a little differently. Third party clients work, but the main providers, Gmail outlook use some proprietary api to make sure their own works well while everyone else gets stuck with shitty imap. There’s endless little incompatibilities. It all just feels like delerict tower held together with miles of duct tape. Oh and I still haven’t found a good answer to why calendars are so tied up with email.

    It’s supposed to be similar, not necessarily the same. The idea is something like this

    1. Anakin: something
    2. Padme: but [normal thing] right
    3. Anakin: …
    4. Padme: but [more basic thing] right??
    5. (implied that not even that)

    The implication here is that not only is the primary purpose not for the blind, but it won’t help them at all

    (am I overthinking this?)
