Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

Let's be clear about something: Thunderbird, which operates under the wholly-owned subsidiary of MZLA Technologies Corporation, is funded exclusively by user donations. We do not have parternships with Google or any other major corporation, and we do not receive any of those profits with Mozilla Corporation.

#GNOME devs: should i (continue to) contribute patches that keep your apps working in other DEs, or should i stop? one role of an umbrella organization is to encourage consistency across sub-projects and i’m getting conflicting signals now that leave me hesitant/unsure.

in the past i’ve upstreamed changes to e.g. nautilus (gnome files) to keep it working for non gnome-shell users. those fixes were well-received and the maintainers were super inviting in a way that suggested they’d appreciate future changes in the same line.

but that gnome-control-center explicitly does not start outside gnome-shell is a strong hint that they don’t want patches that improve things for non gnome-shell users, and so i shouldn’t invest in upstreaming fixes like that anymore. how broadly do i interpret this?

El aislamiento ayuda mucho.

@NVAccess @jcsteh Oh no! Please don't revert Commit 14701: NVDA now responds slightly faster to commands and focus changes. The latest commit removes this game-changing improvement. It improves all aspects of interacting with NVDA, so I can't imagine moving to the older/slower interaction approach with the upcoming alpha release.

@ppatel 1. Is it at all possible that it is actually checking for updates, but because the dialog comes up in the foreground, you're unintentionally dismissing it while typing without even realising it came up?
2. Are you behind any kind of proxy and/or could your system have weird proxy settings somewhere?
3. If you manually check for updates, does that work?

Twice in the last month, someone has lamented near me that they have a bunch of learned-through-experience knowledge in their head, and they don't know how to draw it out into lessons to #teach their colleagues.

This is called "tacit knowledge". And fortunately, we actually know some ways to elicit it from experts & use it to train new learners!

I've appreciated Cedric Chin's blog series on this:

Having some "Old lady yells at cloud" moments this morning.

1. Searching my gmail for Hashimotos turned up results that only contained the word "thyroid." To make the search work as expected I had to put that single word in quotes. This offends my librarian brain.
2. Amazon is one of the biggest companies in the world and can't even be bothered to make sure an email uses the right amount of decimal places.

This is not an AI problem, but it is probably a "people who are using the AI" problem.

Email from Amazon saying they are winding up their Smile program and saying that my p organization has been issued a $5.0 donation (not a typo from me, a typo from them)

Thank-you @erion for this very kind feedback, it has made my day 😀

Early on in my #mastodon experience adding #alttext to my images was definitely intimidating. But several excellent threads from folks like @JesseF8693 helped to clarify how valuable this small amount of front-end work can be, and now it's just a habit, and one of the things I enjoy the most about posting here.

(I do wish you could edit alttext after posting tho - @SDF 💚 -since I often make blunders.)
