#Thunderbird #Android #Development #OpenSource



There is no Ublock Origin on the Thunderbird store, even though it and also the permissionless version work!

Firefox Translate will be huge, looking forward to that!

But whats also really bad is, that Thunderbird Conversations is broken (afaik) and there is no replacement, so having the thread just display below each other, including your replies

#Development #OpenSource #Thunderbird


- ublock preinstalled with *.zip and *.mov blacklist, as well as malware. Ads are irrelevant as you should just use
- sanitized HTML by default
- no javascript at all
- block all trackers
- install signature checker addon (forgot the name)
- reduce information your browser sends
- deactivate all unnecessary features, its a Mailclient based on a Browser, I am sure thats possible

#Linux in particular, #OpenSource in general. If not possible, not buying. If not possible, avoiding as much as possible and handling "with gloves" (e.g. extreme prejudice).


The “industry standard” modules used in digital braille displays are custom piezoelectric devices, costing around $100 per “letter,” making such displays impractically expensive for most applications.

I just learned about this hackaday prize winner, who has designed digital, refreshable #braille modules that cost less than $1 each, using teeny-tiny magnets and 3D printed parts.

#OpenSource #accessibility technologies FTW!


A few weeks ago, the "#LibreOffice Conf. Asia 2023" took place in Surakarta, Indonesia! It was officially awesome: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource


The focus on Freedom and taking control of your data is also imperative to #LabPlot, an open source Data Analysis and Visualization software.

It supports multiple file formats and the ODS import support will be added in the next release :-)

Free Software – like #LibreOffice – isn't about zero-cost (as nice as that is). The focus is on freedom to use your computer as you wish, and take back control of your data. We were recently at Software Freedom Day in Delhi, for instance: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource



We're not done with Thunderbird Supernova!

As promised, we will continue to improve the UI and functionality of message threads and Cards view.

We outline the upcoming changes in our Thunderbird UX mailing list here: thunderbird.topicbox.com/group…

A mockup with developer comments is also available from the link.

💡 If you have valuable feedback to offer about this, please reply to the mailing list so our developers & community see it!

For those who think that #OpenSource is primarily about technical quality, may I recommend Uncurled by @bagder? After decades maintaining curl + other projects, his advice keeps circling back to pragmatic tips about working with people.

mastodon.social/@bagder/111144…

Turns out the most important skills in the long run are to stay motivated, encourage contributors, + support users. Compared to that, taking care of the code is much more straightforward.


Uncurled – everything I know and learned about running and maintaining Open Source projects for three decades.

I hope you did not miss this work of mine, as I'm quite happy with it.

A question to the #Tech bubble: I would like to use #Thunderbird with a bunch of shared calendars over Caldav. I had this issue two years ago and now here it comes again: Thunderbird becomes very slow as soon as all these calendars are added. They contain plenty of events each, many of them are reoccuring and I have tried both with and without offline support and also disabling autorefresh on some of those. I recall that back when I had the issue last, switching the view to show just one calendar at a time would help but to no avail now. Is this something I have to live with in 2023? ###Mozilla #OpenSource


Hi!
For the past few weeks, I worked on a new #XMPP project: #1999 !
1999 aims to be an XMPP client that is:
1. #free and #opensource
2. cross-platform (mobile and desktop)
3. modern looking, with a uniform look across platforms
4. user-friendly
5. secure

The goal is to have an xmpp client that has the same name, ui and features on every platform, which I believe is what xmpp lacks right now.

I am not a programmer so this is only a UI at the moment!

More info: 1999.robotfumeur.fr/



Some exciting news: Over the past few months I have been working on founding a new organization: Blodeuwedd Labs (@blodeuweddlabs)

We are now in a position to offer subsidized security assessments (and other services) for open source projects.

(In addition to a whole array of analysis, development, and custom research offerings for everyone else)

Announcement (and more info): blodeuweddlabs.com/news/open-s…

@milan Já měl raději Lightroom, ale 15 euro měsíčně už se mi také nechce dávat. Darktable špatný není, umí toho opravdu hodně. Je to takový Adobe Lightroom, ale zdarma a #opensource
Ale třeba k Zoneru je více podobný DigiKam. Oba programy jsou i pro Windows.

Communal Bonfires; creating space for group-scale discourse on top of @matrix

blog.erlend.sh/communal-bonfir…

Today we're pre-releasing Commune, our first foundational step towards a community platform built specifically for alignment with digital gardens.

Cyber-ecological messaging anyone?!

It's an evolving piece of software serving as the primary bonfire component of the overarching Community OS concept.
