Thunderbird launches Thundermail and Pro services to offer an open-source alternative to Gmail and Office365, focused on privacy, freedom, and user control.
Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they’re starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).
Inb4 Mozilla dies because the lead of the AI development division is the ex-ceo who followed up massive layoffs with doubling her multi-milion salary every few years.
If you’re referring to that fuckup with the ToS or whatever, that’s not what they’ve started doing. You can verify this by their Privacy Policy, which hasn’t changed in almost a year.
But if you are pointing to other examples, I’m open to learning.
Mozilla’s recent blog posts explicitly highlight that they are investing in ads for short-term revenue growth. So when they go on to remove the ToS statement about not selling user data, that suggests to me that their strategy is in fact to collect and sell user data.
Perhaps they aren’t doing that yet, but signs are pointing in that direction. So that does make me reluctant to share any data with them.
That’s fine. Do what you want. I’m not here to judge your choices, just point out that Mozilla only fucked up the communication, not the policy itself.
Finally, Mozilla is finally doing something innovative for once. Stalwart is freaking awesome.

Super awesome.

Collecting more data to sell them to 3rd parties?

Exactly to that. But I don’t care. Believe what you want. I’ve DeMozillad myself long ago. Couldn’t care less.
I mean, you clearly care

Next I hope Thunderbird’ll restore the GTK/Qt theming support they removed two years ago…
