@giorgiolucas@techhub.social We won't be adopting the Firefox Terms of Use for Thunderbird. Even though you may switch away from us regardless, we wanted you to have the right information, and hope this helps!
We won’t be adopting the Firefox Terms of Use for Thunderbird.
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.
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.
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).
Well, IIRC, TB isn’t developed by Mozilla. They just “host” it.

So a bit like extending Mozilla Application Suite aka Seamonkey instead of focusing on standalone products?
Add some better CEO/management to the mix, but yes.

Nextcloud 😃 we have many nextcloud hosters
It is all that
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
