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.
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.
Oh, I didn’t know about the drama and TB-team connection.
Thank you, I didn’t know about EDRi, which EFF refers to!
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.

Thank you ALL for the great advice and guides! I’m writing from behind a laptop firewall now, and don’t notice anything :) It was smoother than I expected. In the end I used UFW because it was already installed, but I’ll take a look at firewalld too in some days! I don’t have any incoming ssh connections (not a server), so I didn’t need to worry about that :)
Really great people here at Lemmy :)
Any specific reason for the special emphasis of the German flag?
Thank you everyone, also @bushvin@pathfinder.social @toikpi@feddit.uk.
For example, if I open my settings (I’m on Ubuntu+KDE) I don’t see any firewall settings to configure. So I expect this is automatically done by the OS, but maybe I’m wrong. A bit surprised that the system itself doesn’t recommend using a firewall, to be honest.
Many firewall tutorials start speaking about “your server”. Then I wonder: is this really for me? I don’t have a server. Or do I?
I now see that the tutorial from @toikpi@feddit.uk gives a better explanation, cheers! So I see it’s good to have a firewall simply because one connects to public wifis from time to time.
I see that both UFW and firewalld are recommended… is it basically OK whichever I choose?
Thank you for the advice!
Firewall on Linux is something I still don’t understand, and explanations found on Internet have always confused me. Do you happen to know some good tutorial to share? Or maybe one doesn’t need to do anything at all in distros like Ubuntu?
Regarding ssh: you only mean incoming ssh, right?
Thank you, at least the explanation of the acronym helps. I’m looking for more info, it seems to refer to a setting in about:config.
What’s the “RFP” frequently mentioned in the document? I can’t find any setting about it and am confused by Internet search results about it.
Thank you so much, that did it!! I hope they’ll put this option explicitly in the settings, in the future.
Thank you for finding this gem!
