Thank you for finding this gem!

As Netflix and producers of toilet paper know well, people in the end are happy to pay for things they like or need. But Google and its like have discovered that instead of selling stuff to me, it’s much more profitable to sell me to others.

No thanks.

I can’t stop imagining a TV screen beside the shower, just outside the photo…

I said 'fuck you" to Slack for similar reasons. Going to same the same to Discord now.

The shadows are wrong too. The people at the front seem to have a strong light source from their left (but not all angles are correct); the ones at the back, from ahead of them.

I tried "Better"bird for around a month, a year or so ago. Until I hit a bug and submitted a bug report and got this reply:

That’s best reported as a Thunderbird issue with exact steps to reproduce.

and later this:

As a first step, we suggest to install the current ESR 91 version of Thunderbird in parallel and see whether the issue exists there.

I personally don’t see what’s the point of using an email client, if it refers to another email client for submission of some bugs, or if it asks you to install another email client to solve them. I told them and they explained that they’re a small team and that

BB is a TB downstream project (fork) and we cannot possibly fix all 14.000 upstream issues.

The turning-point for me was that they simply closed my bug report and, when I told them that that was a let-down, they said:

Users like yourself, who refuse to cooperate or support the project via a donation, are a total let-down indeed, especially if they feel entitled to get a fix.

which was unfair because I do recurring donations to all software I use regularly. But OK, I can simply donate directly to Thunderbird and use that directly.

So I went back to Thunderbird and have been using it without problems since then; they fixed that and other bugs in the meantime. Thunderbird supports all major forms of authentication from what I’ve seen, so I use it for my work account and other free accounts, all in one.

Mozilla:

Mozilla opposes this proposal…

I wish they took a stronger stance like Brave:

We won’t be shipping WEI support

C’mon Mozilla, show some gonads.

I don’t understand why so many opinion pieces and news keep on saying that Web Environment Integrity could be abused and that’s why we should oppose it. This misses the point a great deal.

Implementation of Web Environment Integrity in browsers IS ITSELF AN ABUSE, because I have the right to go around the web without continually proving who I am, even less against a 3rd party.

It’s as if someone said that some officer (and not even a government one) should always be by your side when you go out, ready to certify who you are, whenever you speak with people on the street – and even with friends. Would you accept that?

Are we totally out of our minds??
