New ask Hacker News story: How do you handle a bunch of email tasks?

How do you handle a bunch of email tasks?
2 by yitzshapiro | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everyone, I've been thinking about how we often use our email inboxes as a sort of to-do list. We leave emails unread or flag them to remind ourselves of tasks we need to complete. But is this really the best way to manage our tasks? I'm curious about your experiences. Are you okay with using your inbox as a to-do list, or does it feel too cluttered? How do you keep track of tasks that come from your emails?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media? 2 by rglullis | 2 comments on Hacker News. With the news yesterday of POTUS joining threads.net and with the fanfare about the possibility of following him from other AP-compatible servers (like Mastodon), I was left wondering why is it that the White House couldn't just run their own services? Doesn't "POTUS is using threads for social media" feel a bit like "POTUS is using outlook.com for email"? Is there anything about the bureaucracy that stops their some small team to setup a Mastodon server on "social.whitehouse.gov" and make this a reality? I find it hard to believe that this would be "if it got hacked it could create diplomacy issues", because I don't think that Facebook is setting up any type of special infrastructure to deal with political figures on their platform. Also, none of this seems to be a problem for some of the EU governments. Maybe I am missin...
