It causes mild inconvenience on Google properties, and breaks Twitter and Facebook entirely which I consider a net benefit.
Beyond that: the web snaps into place for me. It's _fast._ Even on slow machines or ancient hardware. The web is insanely fast, if you cut out the sludge.
Works with Firefox+uBlockOrigin. If you're using Chrome or Safari, you should probably do something about that.
Alright I've done it--here's a large collection of short beeps and boops from different video games suitable for using for notification sounds for your phone or whatever else. Over 500 tiny noises curated by me that aren't too long or too horrible to hear beeped at you all day. Enjoy!
I’ve been hosting services for myself and others for over 25 years now: starting on IIS6, moving to Windows Server, eventually to Debian, and now to an entirely dockerized stack.
I also use Miniflux as my feed reader of choice, its easily one of my most used applications.
How does kubo work? Is it similar to Dropbox? For file syncing and sharing links to other people, I use Seafile.
For uptime monitoring, I use Gatus. I like that it uses YAML to configure various endpoints, which is faster than having to use a GUI that may or may not work.
I've been looking for a notes solution, how's Joplin's accessibility?
I've honestly never tried them because I don't need those extra features, but I'd bet they don't work. I only use Seafile as a Dropbox-style solution to sync files between my computer and phone, and to share the occasional public link.
@neurrone For syncing BTSync or whatever it's called now seems like a lighter and more secure solution? And for sharing I'd rather just have a thing where I upload a file and people download it. Makes sharing more intentional, means I can expire the links, and the other person doesn't get nagged to download a random app.
Seafile offers an app called Seadrive that you can download which integrates with explorer. The integration adds a seadrive submenu, one of which lets you generate direct links to files. Anyone that has the link doesn't need to install anything to download the file.
For cross-platform syncing, I would use Syncthing, except that it doesn't work on iOS. Hence why I'm still on Seafile for stuff like ensuring my KeePass database is available to all my devices.
@neurrone Unfortunately I just use iCloud for syncing stuff to IOS. I'm part of an iCloud family, so there isn't really any cheaper option. What I mean about being intentional with sharing is: I don't really want explorer intigration. If I share a random file, now I have to remember that file is shared, and never move/change/delete it. If I upload a file to sharry, I can make the link expire in a month or a year or whatever, and then forget about it. I know the person gets there file, the file will get deleted to free up server space at a reasonable time, and if I want to update it, I can give them a new link, rather than modifying it, and then suddenly realizing I'm sharing modifications that I didn't intend to share yet.
@neurrone The iCloud drive app on Windows actually works really well these days! The problem with a public folder is I dump copies of files to share in there, then forget to ever delete them, and my storage fills up with useless junk.
U.S. egg prices increased again last month to reach a new record-high of $6.23 per dozen despite President Donald Trump’s predictions, a drop in wholesale prices and no egg farms having bird flu outbreaks.
"What #Trump demonstrates here is not a strategy but a mental illness. I’m not the first to observe the striking resemblance between Trump’s governing style, particularly on #tariffs, and Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another, more commonly known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy. It involves either pretending that a child is sick or inducing sickness so that you can luxuriate in restoring the child to health." newrepublic.com/article/193834…
An Algorithm Deemed This Nearly Blind 70-Year-Old Prisoner a “Moderate Risk.” Now He’s No Longer Eligible for Parole. —
A Louisiana law cedes much of the power of the parole board to an algorithm that bars thousands of prisoners from a shot at early release. Civil rights attorneys say it could disproportionately harm Black people — and may even be unconstitutional. propublica.org/article/tiger-a…

Washington/Peking - Celková celní zátěž čínského dovozu do USA teď činí 145 procent. Bílý dům to potvrdil televizi CNBC. Prezident Donald Trump ve středu na síti Truth Social oznámil, že clo na čínský dovoz navyšuje na 125 procent.
The March 2025 Android Progress is out! In our latest update, we have:
* news on team changes (including some new iOS hires!) * our roadmap board * account drawer improvements * community contribution highlights and * an easy way to get involved!
It's great you have a fresh, public roadmap! One thing however: developer.thunderbird.net/plan… is stuck at 2024 plans. Could you please either update the site with short summary on planned work or redirect the address to Github? While at it, are you also going to move desktop roadmap to Github?
@ponda Thanks for the ping, and we've asked the team about this. And since the vast majority of Thunderbird desktop development happens on Mercurial, it's unlikely that its roadmap would move to GitHub any time soon.
I badly need paid Thunderbird version. I need something to replace Outlook/calendar with some handy reminder/event/jobs/project/ tracker to be able to organise things. Can you please make anything? Thank you.
@ssliackus We are working on a suite of paid productivity products, included hosted email! We're still in early stages, but here's the blog post introducing Thundermail and Thunderbird Pro. We'll keep everyone updated on the blog and here on Mastodon! blog.thunderbird.net/2025/04/t…
@ssliackus It'll be on Test Flight closer to the end of the year. Keep an eye out for any announcements here (of course) and we'll have updates on our blog at blog.thunderbird.net !

I grew-up as a Christian Pastor’s Kid which surely was a struggle for me. Today I got this text from my dad about him performing his first ever same-sex marriage in his career at the age of 67 years old.
He’s been a minister in the United Methodist Church for over 30 years and I can assure you, this was one of the highlights of his entire 30+ years ministering.
He said, “It was one of the most meaningful things I’ve done.”
I’m a big fan of using automation in WCAG testing. I use bookmarklets, dev tools, browser features & reporting, and a pile of third-party products from assorted vendors. These save me time and effort, letting me focus on more tricky cases.
Microsoft have made a boo boo and made a new exploitable security vulnerability in Windows.
If you create the folder c:\inetpub on a Windows PC - possible without admin rights - future security updates (and this months) fail to ever install.. so you can stop OS updates applying.

It’s been a busy stretch, but finally sharing my FOSDEM talk from earlier this year. I spoke about Thunderbird’s journey toward a unified, open-source design system that spans desktop and Android — and how designers (and curious contributors) can help shape its future. Check it out if you're into collaborative, scalable design in open-source spaces.
REMINDER: Your resistance goes faster, harder, and further without the use of ableist language. Fascists won't give a fuck, but a whole lot of folk who have been called 'crazy’, ‘insane’, 'stupid’, ‘idiot’, ‘moron’, and so forth hear you every time you do this, and make themselves a little smaller.
The same goes for body-shaming of any kind. It hurts your allies, not your enemies.
For this year’s LibreOffice Conference we had two location proposals: Luxembourg and Budapest. Members of The Document Foundation voted to choose the final location, and we can announce that Budapest is the winner.
@danilasch What does "more modern" mean? That's a very vague and subjective expression 😉 Have you tried the tabbed user interface? If so and you still don't like it, have you considered helping our Design community volunteers to implement the changes you want?
I'm not a designer, I work in logistics. Let's say we see what the closest competitors look like WPS and OnlyOffice either brainstorm or do a survey, whether users like the design, what they want to see.
"Here comes the dictator." Not the usual greeting you would expect to hear at an EU get-together. But "dictator" was the word chosen by European Commission P...
In Viktor Orban's Hungary? Is this a joke? I've been a LibreOffice user for many many years, and I'm appalled that you're having the conference in a location whose government is actively supporting Russia, and undermining the EU? Where many in our community cannot go because of oppression and exclusion?
Today during a meeting it was mentioned that the front-end for Firefox' main source code repository [1] was super slow because of... AI scrapers! Surprise surprise! The team had to go through quite a bit of effort to curb the traffic. Also, can you think of something more stupid than scraping sources hosted in a version control system by scraping the web front-end?
@archos já jezdil do Saarlandu - Skotština je proti tomu spisovný jazyk :) Ale je to škoda, zahodil jsem něco, co jsem uměl a co mi šlo. Vlastně stejně jako můj studijní obor na VŠ
@archos to si už nemyslím. Znalosti z VŠ už dávno pohřbila doba a vývoj, znalosti jazyků jejich nepoužívaní… Ale tak já chci na důchod stejně do nejjižnější Itálie a s jejich jazykem si celkem rozumím i dnes. Na objednání kafe a drinku to rozhodně stačí 😇
@archos jistě, espresso za €1, bo nikdy nebude v Itálii stát víc a nějaká bouda daleko od lidí, ideálně dostupná na skůtru od moře, abych ho mohl poslouchat. Přes den budu s dalšíma dědkama sedět seschnutý před kavárnou a KOUKAT na holky (v té době klidně dámy 50+) a večer jen koukat na vlny, nebo na starou jabloň/třešeň/ fíkovník nebo co tam budu mít a jenom číst a prostě užívat dny, než to skončí
Es geht ihnen um Trump, Musk oder Bezos, um Datensicherheit oder die Stärkung der heimischen Wirtschaft: Viele Europäer würden sich gern von Techdiensten aus den USA lösen. Zehn niedrigschwellige Ideen für jede und jeden.
On monday I was so angry after I saw the stuff on my computer after I did a lazy new installation of Windows that I immediately switched to Linux. It feels good without Microsoft. The thing that I still have to do is cancel my accounts and move over to European alternatives (although my browser is Japanese now but that's okay.)
I'm not sure what the solution is to #Trump 's #tariffs. Ideally, everyone would boycott American products, but it's hard to get everyone to buy products that may be more expensive.
Should European governments add counter import taxes for importing American products? Or would this just create a tariff war?
