This week we released another version of our beloved podcast app. What's new? A 'boost' option to increase the volume of specific podcasts for example! Plus plenty quality-of-life improvements in: 🔃 Synchronization 🔓Password-protected feeds 🚙 Android auto 🦯 TalkBack 🔎 Search
Download or upgrade now to version 3.2, as always, on F-Droid or Google Play:
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BOOST FEATURE! Please pass this on to whomever implemented that! So many of my podcasts I can't listen to near the highway as it is just too loud there with all the trucks.
I really miss the option to enable mono sound. :) I know that you can toggle it system wide in Android, but I always forgets to disable it when I'm done listening to something.
@hund Not a great message to pass on, but we're afraid that we don't expect this to come back. We hope there's enough nice features and settings to keep you on board, though!
We agree that it would be nice to have. We couldn't find a Pull Request for this; nobody contributed code for this yet. There is a feature request though: github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaP…
As it stands, there are 205 issues that also deserve (more) attention. Unfortunately that's just how it goes if you have limited time.
However, one of our contributors recently wrote a blog post with some recommendations for keeping your personal podcast archive, including your stats: antennapod.org/blog/2023/09/cu…
@Mehrad Right, that's the same issue we linked to in our previous toot.
> Which I wonder why especially when zero reason was given and because it is locked no one can upvote it either.
Actually it's explained quite clearly in the current last post:
> Locking to avoid further "+1" comments. Needs and interest are clear.
In short: further comments wouldn't help get a clearer picture of what's needed, while followers & contributors would get a distracting notification with each new comment.
@Mehrad > Unfortunately this also means upvoting is no longer possible (request to GitHub to correct this).
The fact that locking an issue on GitHub prevents upvoting is indeed very unfortunate. That's why we have created an issue via GitHub's official feedback channel: github.com/orgs/community/disc…
Sometimes we lock discussions, because a decision has been reached within the team on how to proceed (how to implement a feature). To avoid noise via the infamous '+1' comments. However, locking an...
Hi I love Antennapod and use it mostly in my car. Not sure, but probably with that latest rease I do not get the list of episodes in the Abonnement listing - in android auto only. On my mobile I can see all episodes in thos lists. Is there anything I can do - or shall I wait for the next version ?
If it doesn't work for you, please create a bug report on GitHub or our forum. Please note also that 'the latest release' differs from person to person, as we're running betas and some distribution platforms are slower than others. So if & when you create a bug report please specify the version number (which you can copy from settings → About).

Tak jsem si chvilku hral s mapama a lbc.wtf ve verzi nula je na svete. 🎉
Princip je jednoduchy. K postu na Mastodon s hashtagem #lbc pridam text "lbc:LAT:LON". Script followuje hashtag na >c.d serveru a novy post prida na mapu. Testovaci posty jsem otagoval zvlast, abych zbytecne neposilal updaty.
A prace s mapami. Nic moc. Spousta niche hardcodovanych veci. Spousta outdated dokumentace. Je to hold pro lidi, co mapama zijou.
I don't have the motivation and skills to contribute that way, but I do have a little money. Why can't I donate to support some of those projects so those skilled people don't have to donate free time, but can be paid for their valuable work?
As I imagine this option (under the #CSB tag), my reward would only be a mention on the page of donors who supported that feature. Yeah, I would get to use the results, too, but so would everyone else.
@shanen Hi! Some developers have Patreon accounts (or similar) so that you can support them individually. This page also shows developers that you can fund, but yes, it's not super user-friendly: documentfoundation.org/gethelp… – What do you think?
LibreOffice Certified Developers LibreOffice Certified Developers are individuals who have proven their ability to master LibreOffice code: to develop new features; provide L3 Support to enterprise users; research and develop solutions to new or unkn…
I may not understand Patreon well enough, but I think the idea of blanket payment for ongoing work is too hard to track. It also attracts gold rushers trying to strike it rich.
My idea of the #CSB is to pay for the work that is done. Each project should be sized as accurately as possible (with the help of the CSB) and the developers would be agreeing to do a certain amount of work for a certain amount of pay. (The CSB would also help assess the results of the projects.)
I've written about the #CSB (Charity Share Brokerage) idea in various places over the years. Short version here:
The CSB would hold money and help plan projects: Schedules, resources, budgets, success criteria, etc. Donors would "shop" for project to buy charity shares. Projects can vary from new software to ongoing server support to journalism. The CSB idea is older than crowd funding, but with project management and accountability.
▶️ $17.44 ◀️ That’s the average donation to Thunderbird so far in 2023. A gift roughly the price of a pizza helps provide jobs. It helps us bring Thunderbird to iOS and Android even faster. It helps us develop new features. It substantially improves our sustainability.
YOU have that power! YOU can help give people a free, ethical alternative to corporate giants and walled gardens. Please donate today, and help Thunderbird thrive: mzla.link/eoy23_masto
I was going to give you a donation (via PayPal), but sorry, not if I have to give you my full address. If I'm authenticated by PayPal, that should be sufficient - it is for literally ANY other company I use it for paying. And while we are at it: I don't want to "One-time setup, faster checkouts." at all (which, I guess, is the reason WHY it's asking for my address). I just want to make a one-time donation, like throwing a fiver in a hat, as I do with other organizations via PayPal.
@IgorRock Thanks for wanting to support us! Our payment provider needs a billing address for identity verification, payment processing, and especially fraud prevention. You can read our Privacy Policy at donate.mozilla.org/faq/
"for identity verification" - well, there's your problem. That's EXACTLY what I don't want - and don't need on any other page or organization I've used PayPal for in the past (like, just yesterday, actually). PayPal verifies my identity already (two factor login), so there is no need why you should need this, too. From a privacy POV, this is the worst you can do, and from a data economy and safety POV, it's even worse - adding another DB which can be breached or leaked.
@IgorRock Hey Igor, I run Thunderbird's marketing and communications.
Your comment about adding another database that can be breached or leaked resonates with me. And it's a very valid concern. I feel like we're all growing weary -- and angry -- over the constant breaches involving our personal information...
What I can promise you is that we're having internal discussions about this, and evaluating whether or not this is a policy we should continue.
Quick question from a donor - how does Mozilla make sure that Thunderbird donations actually go to Thunderbird development? I'm energized by the new desktop updates, and looking forward to the mobile application! Keep up the good work!
@rabbinathan Hey there and thanks for the attabird on our updates and future plans!
We're a separate company from the rest of Mozilla (MZLA Technologies Corportation), which means the donations go straight to us. Even if someone decided to send a check or money order, the designated address directs it to the Thunderbird project.
Thanks for asking and doing your due diligence, and we hope this answer helps you and anyone else reading it!
I already donated this year, and I really need to watch my spendings a bit at the moment. But I'll donate again when Sync has arrived! Really excited for that.
You're a wholly owned subsidiary of a nonprofit that owns a company of the same name that pays their CEO almost $7M. Here's my concrete suggestion, pay them less and spend that money on better things.
If your pitch is "but we're a part of Mozilla, not a part of Mozilla", you need to work on that messaging, because come on.
@jwz I don't want to attack FOSS developers, especially of the software I use daily, but this is a honest question: what *is* the benefit of being part of the Mozilla Whatever, if you have to rely on direct donations anyway?
The post you linked talks about how being a for-profit is beneficial , and alright, fair, but you can't deny this multi-level for-murky-purposes scheme looks off-putting.
I promise I will start a monthly symbolic donation to repent for asking questions if you do give me an answer.
Edit: fwiw from afar it certainly looks like Mozilla wanted to kill the project off, but when people started donating it graciously accepted the heavy responsibility of managing that money after all. I'm sure it's more complicated than that (which is the problem)
@virtulis @jwz hey all, Ryan here - Managing Director for MZLA/Thunderbird. I don't know how to make the case other than with the truth. Let's say Thunderbird went back into the Corporation and Google search money was spent to fund its development - would that be ideal for the project? No, because it wouldn't be self sustaining and if the search money for Firefox went away so would Thunderbird. Having a distinct entity with a distinct funding source shields Thunderbird.
@virtulis @jwz I talk a lot about the sustainability of the project and have fought to have it protected in a separate place where it can live or die on its own merits. We get a lot of benefit from having access to experts within the larger Mozilla family to help us with build infrastructure and other areas where it would be difficult for our team to manage alone.
But being separate, financially, means we shape our own destiny. Which has been a problem.
@virtulis @jwz just look at the history of Thunderbird. Before us having our own entity and being self sustaining, the project was on very unstable ground. I don't want us to ever be dependent on anything but ourselves again - and live or die based on whether Thunderbird is doing a good job or not.
@ryanleesipes @jwz thank you for the response. Just to clarify, I didn't question the need for a separate entity, rather the point of it not being completely separate (and that's how I read the conversation prior).
If you do indeed get help from Mozilla without additional impediment to yourselves, that is certainly a good reason.
@virtulis @jwz Thank you. We do get help, but we do not get monetary contributions from the other entities. Like I said, we will live or die on our own merit and that is a healthier situation for Thunderbird.
@virtulis @jwz Also, folks don't realize how hard the separation is. MZLA/Thunderbird makes its own decision based on what the Thunderbird Council (an elected body of contributors) and MZLA leadership decides. This is always centered around what makes Thunderbird self-sustaining and able to continue to improve. No other considerations have ever been discussed.
@ryanleesipes @virtulis "People don't understand why the 2 (3??) organizations with the same name, one of whom owns us, don't give us any of that $450M/year from Google." Yeah, it's a mystery why people might not understand that.
I get that you consider yourselves independent of the corp, of which you are a subsidiary, but surely you get why, to anyone on the outside, this sounds like if Google held a bake sale to keep Gmail running.
@jwz @virtulis we (the project) considered spinning out, and Mozilla was fine with that. But the help we get versus being on our own makes it worthwhile to be related.
Finally, each entity does what benefits it. Thunderbird history has shown that the Corporation spending money on Thunderbird isn't beneficial to it. Which makes sense. We (the Thunderbird community and MZLA employees) have found a way to exist and grow with (so far) complete freedom. As I see it, that's a win.
Our median donation currently is $11.65 (note, this shifts over time and with each donation!). Once we do our 2023 financial report in January/February, we can identify the final median. This comment on the 2022 report shows how our donations are overwhelmingly from small donors: blog.thunderbird.net/2023/05/t…
@mel Please don't ever feel bad about the amount you donate. We're all in different situations, and sometimes we can give more and sometimes we can't. But all those small donations have added up to do amazing things, and we know they'll do it again this year too. So seriously, thank you! 🙇♀️ 🙌
@ditsch42 Thank you for donating and sharing it here! We know we could use a Mastodon button.🙁 It isn't for lack of trying, aka poking our donation service with the occasional stick, but there's some technical hurdles on their side.
@pixelpusher220 @lordvalor No AI features are currently in development or even scoped for Thunderbird, but we do believe there are potentially helpful -- and absolutely ethical -- uses for AI in Thunderbird.
I can tell you that our team believes any such feature should be optional, and running locally on your machine, and ideally have a small storage and CPU footprint.
Just noticed this in the article that I think is not accurate:
"There is no inheritance in Rust. There are no fields in traits. There is simply no way of saying that in order to implement a trait, your type must have certain fields."
Traits can have implemented methods taking self, and if those methods refer to fields in self type-checking won't allow a struct to implement that trait without having those fields, no?

Interessant wäre hier auch ein Mitschnitt des Netzwerkverkehrs: Wohin sind bis zur Anzeige dieser Meldung schon Daten geflossen? Wohin laufen welche bei Klick auf "Alle Ablehnen"? Leider fehlt dabei aber ohnehin der größte Teil – nämlich der, der von MS selbst weitergeleitet wird.
"Einige Dritte verarbeiten Ihre Daten *u.U.*…" – andere aus purer Gier (Zusatz fehlt). Aber welcher *DRITTE* bitte sollte hier *welches* "berechtigte Interesse" haben? Das ist doch absurd.
@IzzyOnDroid Das hatte ja mein Kollege Stefan auch schon thematisiert. Es ist komplett irre, dass ein großer Konzern heutzutage damit ernsthaft an den Start geht. Da kann man ja gleich seine Haustüren ausbauen, seine Wagenschlüssel stecken lassen und im Schlafzimmer gläserne Wände (offen) einbauen.
Für letzteres gibt es "zum Glück" ja IoT (und passende Kameras), das spart den Umbau. Interessierte können sich dann, Dank Standard-"Passwort", einfach mit aufschalten. </s>
