Bad news from #mozilla - the network location service used by #microG will stop.
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/retiring-the-mozilla-location-service/128693


After being kneecapped by a #patents troll years ago, #Mozilla Location Services, the only somewhat trusted (non-Google/Apple) "Wi-Fi positioning system" (geolocation based on triangulating collected #WiFi SSIDs), is now shutting down: https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065

MLS was how #GeoClue could get a meters-accurate location without a #GPS receiver / sky line-of-sight.

It was used by many #GNOME / #KDE apps to get instantaneous neighborhood-level location (for maps, local weather…) on #Linux laptops.


One thing the article omits is the fantastic accessibility in Firefox Developer Edition.

Perhaps these tools aren't well known — they're in the web inspector. It’s a great way to test your site.

Sooo #Mozilla is laying off the people working on #Firefox to do more "AI".

Which is something exactly how many of the users want, current or potential?

Fuck this timeline run by hype. Nuke it right down to the continuum.


Nazrál čas dát Firefoxu druhou šanci

Sepsal jsem důvody, proč si myslím, že by měl Firefox dostal zase šanci. Ať už od těch, kteří ho v minulosti opustili, nebo od těch, kteří ho nikdy ani nezkusili.

Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are ‘as painful as possible’ for Firefox 🙁 https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/26/24052067/mozilla-apple-ios-browser-rules-firefox #apple #mozilla #ffx #apple #browsers #ios #eu #webkit #blink #gecko


Today, seven years ago, #mozilla "borrowed" the #curl concept of using :// in the logo:

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2017/01/18/curl-hearts-mozilla/

Is Imitation the Sincerest Form of Flattery ?


Es ist ja durchaus nett, dass der Umzug mit #Mozilla #Thunderbird auf einen neuen #PC möglich ist und so.

Aber mal im Ernst: Warum muss das immer noch mit sowas sein wie "Drücken Sie unter Optionen auf Extras, suchen sie die Datei 'prefs.js', welche Sie auf ein externes Laufwerk kopieren etc."?

Wir haben 2024, so langsam müsste es doch einfach sowas wie eine Schaltfläche "Programm für Export vorbereiten" und eine Schaltfläche "Alle Daten vom alten Profil importieren" geben und gut is'.


Mastodon #psa: there's a post going around about #mozilla #firefox and the salary of the Mozilla Corporation CEO. This post is based on a blog post written by an openly transphobic fascist, Brian Lunduke, who has a beef with Mozilla for them treating trans employees like human beings.

It doesn't matter how true the material is; we must not take decisions based on information collated with such motives.

edit: post now changed to not link there. an improvement.


Ultimately, I don't think it's a good idea to pay millions to a CEO. It doesn't matter who says it or why.

But that's not going to stop me using #firefox nor thinking that #Mozilla is a key organisation in keeping browser choice.

Would be fair to have the calendar component also have a quickstart-entry in the launcher's context menu, @thunderbird , what d'you think?

Remember a few weeks back when I said no one appreciates people that file bugs. Well as we tiptoe closer to the #Thunderbird for #Android release, I look at the visionary that filed the initial bug bringing up the idea 12 years ago when most people floating around #Mozilla wanted a #WindowsPhone version to run on #PDAs. That youn... old hero won't get any credit or acknowledgement, but to someone, somewhere, they matter!


Read all about our exciting story and get a sneak peak at the next chapter with @ryanleesipes , Product and Business Development Manager for Thunderbird, who just celebrated his 6th work anniversary! 🎉

Ryan takes us from 2012, when Thunderbird was transitioned to community support, to plans for long, bright future. You'll laugh, cry, and cheer as you read - and maybe even help us bring Thunderbird and e-mail privacy everywhere! 💙

Like the legend of the phoenix, we're resurrecting Mozilla Send, an end-to-end encrypted file share service, and bringing it under our wings as Thunderbird Send. In this clip from S1E5 of the ThunderCast, developer Chris Aquino gives us a sneak peek of the new - wait, old - er, reborn project!

Learn how #Thunderbird Send will help you overcome your file upload woes, respect your privacy, safeguard against abuse, and hopefully change your #email experience for the better.

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


"Say (an encrypted) hello to a more private internet."

Just #mozilla making your #firefox more privacy preserving, as we are wont to do.

Mozilla: "In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. It would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list. Such a move will overturn decades of established content moderation norms and provide a playbook for authoritarian governments"

#Mozilla has done some great things with #Firefox over the years, but Total Cookie Protection (essentially isolated cookie jars) is one of the most robust and privacy-conscious ways of handling cookies that I've seen in any browser today. It's a natural evolution of the "container tab" concept that prevents third parties from easily tracking you across the web.

when will Thunderbird embrace #AI the way #Mozilla did with #Firefox? Just so I can already look for an alternative email client...


@thunderbird, I'm enjoying the updated Thunderbird 112 Beta UI, but I was wondering if you could give us the option to disable the tab area and/or the new top menubar depending on how we configure our UI. If I choose to use the left-most vertical menubar, the other areas seem redundant and take up space. Otherwise, I like the new direction! 👍

In fact, I learnt a lot about how #Thunderbird and @mozilla are actually related, and I always thought it's a hardwired #Mozilla product just like #Firefox.

I'm really looking forward to the improvements in Supernova and also future updates to #K9Mail. I used to be a #GMail user but ran into performance problems on older devices and under bad networking conditions. Not a problem for good old #IMAP! :)

▶️ Dialogues & Debates: Making the Fediverse | Mozilla is joining the Fediverse in 2023 to co-create its future. What are its greatest opportunities and limitations? How can we scale methodology and not solutions? What is the public discourse square of the future? Who is building it?
