Feb. 4th, 2010 01:55 pmThe biggest change in Release #61 is an update to the Notifications system (LJSV-878). The following changes have been made:
...
* Subscriptions are not anymore mandatorily delivered to Inbox, with "I receive a new PM" being a notable exception
OMG FINALLY
Seriously. I only want to get comment notifications in email. Nowhere else. I understand that others may feel differently, but that's why there should be options boxes for it, not a forced setting. It's bugged me for ages that I have to go periodically clean out an inbox I don't really want in the first place. Well, I suppose I didn't have to -- I don't know if it would eventually fill up and start deleting older ones without my interference, or something -- but I hated having the mess sit there. When they implemented the "delete everything in folder except flagged" button it was a great help, rather than having to go through it page by page like you used to (and like InsaneJournal still is, and I should note also that the "check all" box on each page in IJ doesn't work so I have to click each one individually), but it still meant having to remember to make a special visit to a page I otherwise had no occasion to load and which wasn't part of my LJ routine.

Man's view on Mount Diablo: Rename it for the Gipper
ffffffffffuuuuuuu---WHAT?
Look, I can understand that some may feel uncomfortable with things named after the Devil, although it's a time-honoured tradition all over the West. I can't think of any specific objections to changing it to Mount Miwok or Mount Ohlone (although I suppose I might think differently if I were a member of those tribes/bands!), except "why fix what ain't broke". But naming it after Ronald Reagan? And because he feels that besides "Diablo" being "derogatory and profane", the Devil is a "living person" who has not been dead at least five years and thus should also be ineligible to have monuments named after him (as Reagan was in 2005 when he first attempted this)??
And get a load of his fourth suggestion: Mount Yahweh. This perplexes me greatly. If he believes the Devil is a living person, why not God?
