Thunderbird will not adopt the new terms from mozilla
@[email protected] 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.
title should read adopt*
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.
Lol my dyslexic brain read it as adopt anyways.
Well, IIRC, TB isn't developed by Mozilla. They just "host" it.
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.
Add some better CEO/management to the mix, but yes.
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.
Nextcloud 😃 we have many nextcloud hosters
It is all that
So a bit like extending Mozilla Application Suite aka Seamonkey instead of focusing on standalone products?
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).
Finally some good news
