That’s of course bad that they have free access to Vivaldi mails. At least you can ban them immediately.

@Gwen-Dragon It's such a pleasant surprise when i discover it's NOT me this time.

Oh, whoops... sorry.

@Steffie I don't see anything... strange... (and it's not GLU or GNU related...)

/edit: former screenshot space -> makes no sense now.

@npro Lilo has already moved those OT posts to a dedicated thread, per her link.

@Steffie ah, right, for a moment I thought it was just my blocking list doing its work.

/added: It does, post is hidden in Browsers section, well done forum software

[Steffie]

@npro Did someone say something? I've blocked all users.

I'm also going to warn people I know who use Vivaldi, although I don't think they fall for this crap.

I will never understand how people can possibly think it's legitimate when someone you don't know turns up out of the blue and says they'll give you money for no reason but only if you give them money first!

[Steffie]

@kened Maybe i missed something... what caused this outburst? It seems that others disagreed with your opinion causing you to become cranky -- really? Or was there something else?

Yet still here?

Flatpaks are useful!

@Stardust Now don't you go all AppImagey on me.

[stardepp]

@Steffie That was my assessment, but I did not mean to criticize you.

[Steffie]

@stardepp You didn't - i was simply madly punning. Soz.

[potmeklecbohdan]

@Steffie Status still shows offline online, but on their profile there's 0 posts.

Damn! Cannot look at the argument now, since it's deleted (coz of the OP)

Edit: on == off
