Thunderbird Pro will apparently be:

This email thing plus Thunderbird Send (which is basically https://send.vis.ee/), Thunderbird Appointment - a scheduling tool and Thunderbird Assist, which is:

“…at least for now, being cautiously labeled as “an experiment” that will allow users to take advantage of AI features within their email. However, the goal is to be lightweight enough that the language models can be run locally on a user’s PC in the interest of privacy. This service is being developed in partnership with Flower AI, which leverages Nvidia’s confidential compute to provide private remote processing in the event a user’s PC isn’t powerful enough. Sipes emphasizes that any remote processing features attached to Thunderbird Assist will always be optional, in the interest of ensuring complete user privacy.”

So AI shit that nobody asked for or wants.

““A struggle for life is constantly going on amongst the words and grammatical forms in each language. The better, the shorter, the easier forms are constantly gaining the upper hand, and they owe their success to their own inherent virtue””

my problem is people who chastise others over not acting sooner.

All they said was that they wish people had listened. Thats it. The only one who’s mentioned action is you.

Musk is a fascist, but did ANYONE believe he was capable of doing the things he’s doing now, then?

Yes, because he’s always been a billionaire with no morals, he’s always treated people like shit and he’s always put money ahead of everything, even his own family members. Someone who can do those things is capable of anything.

if anyone says yes, they’re lying.

lol.

There was a post on some Lemmy community or other yesterday which stated that most Americnas support ideas like universal healthcare (55%) and getting rid of guns from private ownership (mid 60% IIRC).

In that thread someone said it was awful that even amongst progressives the support for universal healthcare was so low and the very few responses to that were basically - :shrug: we’ve been lied to what are we gonna do about it?

The responses to the gun ownership stat were numerous and declared support for ‘second amendment rights’.

When even US progressives are passionately defending the biggest cause of child death in the USA in 2022 but are apathetic about universal healthcare, that’s a uniquely US problem that speaks very much to the level of thinking power available.

They’re not. Lets say your name is Dave Smith and you join mailbox with the username/address [email protected]

If you wanted to join (I dunno) a mastodon instance but wanted to easily identify it and were also happy for the Admin to know your actual email you could use davesmith+mastodon@mailbox.org - that’s an extension.

But if you didn’t want the Admin to know your email you could create an Alias in mailbox so for example mymastoacct@mailbox.org - as long as no one else was already using it of course.

So if your actual primary address includes your name, an extension will always reveal it, whereas an alias can hide it.

Given the intent of this community though it should also be noted not all recommendations are European. Brave for example is American.
