Thunderbird Monthly Development Digest: June 2024
  • Okay one criticism: the UI density "dense" is too dense and squeezes the text. So I use the normal mode.

    Meanwhile, unlike KDE Plasma 6, Thunderbird added more unneeded barriers.

    Also, the message "bubbles" are not cut off at the bottom limit where the content ends, but have a random space below left. This means you need to scroll more.

    The star instead of the yellow dot for "new" wastes space.

    Old:

    New:

    These are not dealbreakers, but still, why??

    Also as you see I use the quickfilter search. It would help a lot if it could be added to the top panel, which has lots of empty space.

  • Die EU sollte fordern, dass alle Handyhersteller wieder AUX ports an den Handys einbauen.

    Kosten nix, die Teile werden immer größer, Blauzahn ist Dreck und USB-Anhängsel sind auch doof

  • Die Welt Deiner Kindheit existiert nicht mehr
  • Die Welt, in der ihr groß geworden seid, bzw. die Welt mit der Struktur der Arbeit und den Methoden, die mal funktioniert haben, existiert nicht mehr. Die Politik, die ihr kennt, könnt Ihr nicht fortsetzen, weil ihre Methoden nicht mehr adäquat sind. Wenn man sich hinstellt, mit dem Fuß aufstampft und “Ich will aber” wählt, dann wird das nicht funktionieren, weil die Methode nicht mehr zum Problem paßt.

  • Thunderbird Monthly Development Digest: June 2024
  • Really excited!

    I use the unofficial Thunderbird Daily Flatpak and test it that way often.

    The background code changes are really really nice.

    The UI... I dont know. The sidebar is still useless and not a replacement for Tabs. Everything got even bigger, and TB Coversations is still better than their Threads implementation I think.

    But I have to look at it again.

    Would be cool to have a stub mail account to test it with, but I just use my main one with IMAP.

  • Diebstahl im Einzelhandel - Es wird mehr geklaut
  • Die meisten Diebe finden es wohl einfach geil, sich auf Kosten anderer zu bereichern.

    Ich schätze du hast mit allen Dieben gesprochen um diese Aussage zu treffen XD

    die genannten Güter sind zwar oft Schwachsinn, man klaut aber eben teure Dinge, während man den Rest kauft. So spart man 50% des Preises.

    Die genannten Dinge sind alle teuer.

    Drogenkonsum ist nicht toll, natürlich. Aber wenn Firmen wie behämmert werben dürfen, und Menschen süchtig machen, muss man sich darüber nicht wundern.

  • Neues europäisches Bezahlsystem Wero gestartet
  • Menschen ist es halt scheißegal, dass sie

    • eine Telefonnummer angeben müssen, für "Sicherheit"
    • eine App benutzen müssen, weil die Webseite absichtlich enshittified ist
    • dazu ein Google oder Apple Handy brauchen, weil nichts anderes geht
    • komplett von einem kapitalistischen Anbieter in einem bald von Trump regierten Land abhängig sind

    Wenn die Argumente nicht zählen, ist sowieso alles zu spät

  • Neues europäisches Bezahlsystem Wero gestartet
  • Kann es nicht?

    Das als "europäisches System" zu verkaufen ist ja absurd.

    LEUTE. BEKOMMT EURE IT IN DEN GRIFF.

    Wie alle öffentlichen Sachen einfach von Google abhängig sind, ist das deren Ernst?

  • LibreWolf or Mullvad Browser? Thoughts, comments, concerns?
  • I think "reversed" and "opposite" makes no sense here.

    Librewolf copies the Torbrowser or Arkenfox patches, maybe adding their own ones, maybe not. Arkenfox is a 1:1 copy of Torbrowser to my knowledge, without using private browsing.

    As you dont have Cookie Containers, the "being more private" or "anti fingerprinting" is a very vague statement. If you use your browser for a single website then yes maybe.

    Inkscape Flatpak is looking for a maintainer!

    github.com Removal from the Inkscape Website · Issue #87 · flathub/org.inkscape.Inkscape

    The inkscape project is considering removing the flatpak format from the website's resources/downloads pages because of lack of maintenance. There is no maintainer of the flatpak/flathub format at ...

    Removal from the Inkscape Website · Issue #87 · flathub/org.inkscape.Inkscape

    The Flatpak is already packaged and works well. It just needs to be maintained from a person that joins the Inkscape community.

    This would allow further improvements like Portal support and making the app official on Flathub.

    Calc: How do I use discrete (text) values?

    There are many cases when people might want to have a dropdown list of the other entered values in a column.

    And the ability to prohibit entering others.

    Classic one: entering yes, no, maybe.

    These are not boolean, but discrete, and others should not be allowed.

    Do you know how to do that?

    Compact GTK3 & 4 mod?

    GTK is nice but too thick. There is a repo containing CSS for GTK3 to be more compact.

    I could not find the same for GTK4.

    Gradience from Flathub allows to load custom CSS. The GTK3 one did not change anything.

    I use Fedora Kinoite (KDE) and all GTK apps are Flatpaks.

    The DesQ Project (a Wayland Qt Desktop with own apps)

    Found this project a while ago, couldnt find it again.

    A unique looking Wayland desktop, independent from others.

    CuboCore - PaperDE (a Wayland Desktop using Wayfire, Qt & Pipewire)

    cubocore.cc CuboCore - PaperDE

    Consistent look across all the apps and can run in lower system with minimum dependencies. All the apps are based on QT toolkit and Desktop Independent.

    Load a Distrobox in the background to speed up usage (Fedora Kinoite)

    This is very much a "Windows thing" to do but I would like to preload a Distrobox on system start.

    The benefit is that distrobox enter BOXNAME or launching a binary or app from distrobox-export is way faster.

    On Fedora Kinoite (Atomic KDE) with Podman, I use this:

    cat ~/.config/autostart/preload-BOXNAME.desktop <<EOF [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Preload the Distrobox container BOXNAME Exec=/usr/bin/podman start BOXNAME EOF

    This is a KDE specific workaround, as only "Applications" reliably autostart.

    In the app menu enter "Autostart" and go to the settings page, the box should appear there.

    Log out and back in, go to the same settings page to verify.

    A tool on Linux to scan for inboxes on other mailservers?

    I know this is basically a spam tool.

    I think to know that you can query some info from a mailserver to test if an address exists.

    I would like to find hidden addresses of some companies, for example I want to test if [email protected] exists.

    Anyone know how to do that?

    ---

    Update

    I learned quite a bit

    • Mailserver block the requests that are used to get a list of inboxes ("accounts")
    • many servers will block mailservers that are not on an allowlist
    • many servers will block servers, if mails were sent to nonexistent addresses a couple of times
    • the message "recipient not known" will not appear often, as servers may "black hole" a senders mail and cut off the connection without sending the status message back

    Choosing a hybrid Wayland Compositor

    1. I am very unlikely to switch away from KDE Plasma 6
    2. I would anyways like to try Sway or the like
    3. I dont use virtual desktops and find just navigating through a bottom taskbar makes more sense for me
    4. I have many apps fullscreen, and would never tile more than once vertically, as I am on a Laptop
    5. I want: NightLight, tray icons, a good app menu, many KDE Apps (Dolphin, Kate, Ark, Gwenview, Spectacle Edit feature at least)

    Are Wayland WMs ready for this use case? What would you recommend to fill these exact requirements?
