@nixCraft@mastodon.socialMozilla CEO made around 7 million USD last year, but hosting bills are pending. Now, they updated the ToS, and you can't watch p0rn, or your data will be sold, or they no longer care about the orignal mission, etc. Once again, we see C-suits lose their grip on reality. As long as they are getting paid in millions, software projects can go to /dev/null. It is like they want to ruin the project on purpose. There is no other explanation I can think of. Can you?
@kkarhan@nixCraft I think @mozillaofficial should hand over #Firefox to @torproject and let #TorBrowser become the new #upstream!
I mean, @thunderbird / #Thunderbird got taken over by it's community as well. Not shure if they have any relations beyond #Trademark and some #Hosting infra at #Mozilla...
@0xF21D@infosec.exchange@kkarhan @nixCraft @mozillaofficial @torproject @thunderbird and thunderbird is an amazing email client.
@kkarhanI'd say @thunderbird is hands-down the better alternative to #Outlook in every shape or form!
@bobkmertz@techhub.social@0xF21D @nixCraft @thunderbird
I agree but, at the same time, what they did to K9 Mail absolutely sickens me and genuinely makes me question if they have some nefarious motive.
@bobkmertz@techhub.social @kkarhan@infosec.space @0xF21D@infosec.exchange @nixCraft@mastodon.social @thunderbird@mastodon.online
What did they do to K9Mail? Isn't K9 mail still very much available as it's stand alone project too?
@kkarhan@raccoon @nixCraft @0xF21D @thunderbird @bobkmertz it is.
They merely rebranded it as #Thunderbird Mobile.
@kkarhan@infosec.space @nixCraft@mastodon.social @0xF21D@infosec.exchange @thunderbird@mastodon.online @bobkmertz@techhub.social
But they were open about it, so... Meh?
They DID add the QR code reader to import all the settings, which makes things more comfortable.
@kkarhan@infosec.space@raccoon @nixCraft @0xF21D @thunderbird @bobkmertz yeah, and I do think that such an option is good because it reduces hassle and makes it easy for people who use #Thunderbird on Desktop to get it up and running on #Android as well, reducing friction and providing a easier onboarding similar to how #Microsoft gets people to use their #Outlook garbage.

Also IIRC thunderbird isn't with mozilla anymore, right?
@bartholin@fops.cloud @nixCraft@mastodon.social @kkarhan@infosec.space @0xF21D@infosec.exchange @thunderbird@mastodon.online @bobkmertz@techhub.social
Not sure what that means, I don't speak legalese :(
@kkarhan@raccoon @bartholin @nixCraft @0xF21D @thunderbird @bobkmertz Last time I checked, #Thunderbird's #Trademark was still owned by @mozillaofficial and they still used some infrastructure with them, but for the most part is doing their own thing.
- That being said "for profit" espechally in the #USA is merely a legal & taxation status and says nothing about sustainability.
I.e. Scientology is a "non-profit" but that doesn't make said cult any less inhumane or less profit-oriented!
@kkarhan@infosec.space @bartholin@fops.cloud @nixCraft@mastodon.social @0xF21D@infosec.exchange @thunderbird@mastodon.online @bobkmertz@techhub.social My god Kevin. I love you dude but your use of hashtags and tagging anything and anyone always gives me a sensory overload.
