We won’t be adopting the Firefox Terms of Use for Thunderbird.
Finally some good news
title should read adopt*
Lol my dyslexic brain read it as adopt anyways.
Ironic how the typo directly inverted the meaning.
will not adopt = will not use the new Firefox terms
will not adapt = will use the new Firefox terms exactly, without any rewording
But with some minor changes, like Firefox -> Thunderbird.
Btw, perfect use of “irony,” it’s so often misused.
Well, IIRC, TB isn’t developed by Mozilla. They just “host” it.
They do. Well, I should say Thunderbird is also under the Foundation, but is developed by a separate subsidiary Corp (MZLA Tech Corp) than Firefox (Mozilla Corp).
Which is one more stupid thing from Mozilla. Imagine if, 10 years ago, they had made a combo of: Firefox, Thunderbird, email hosting, maybe some kind of online office thing and a drive, Sync… That could have been the ultimate productivity package for “Office” stuff inside one convenient subscription.
Instead we now have Office 365, Google Docs, and nothing more.
So a bit like extending Mozilla Application Suite aka Seamonkey instead of focusing on standalone products?
Nextcloud 😃 we have many nextcloud hosters
It is all that
Add some better CEO/management to the mix, but yes.
Don’t give them subscription ideas, even mentioning subscriptions is dangerous!
Firefox is the kind of software where I would gladly pay $10 a month to support its development.
Dismantle Mozilla, give the money to Firefox, profit.
Exactly. I’d donate today if my money actually went to Firefox.
LibreOffice: “I’m right here”
libreOffice is so ugly that every time I use it I get a strong urge to start using Microsoft edge
It really is a shame that it looks so terrible. It’s a really solid office suite otherwise, but I agree that it’s not a pleasure to use simply because of how ugly it is
I want separate apps that are really good at what they do, not a bunch of apps that kinda work together and are just okay. So I would much rather they focus on one thing and services around it. Such as:
- online payments - make a way for me to compensate sites in lieu of ads
- secure storage - bookmarks, files, notes, all from the browser; or self host
- VPN integrated into the browser - exists
Everything should be opt-in and privacy centered, and all of that can be browser extensions.
