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.

Archive link for anyone else for whom that article crashed their tab.

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.

In my own personal experience, Nextcloud;

• Needs constant attention to prevent falling over
• Administration is a mess
• Takes far too long to get used to its ‘little ways’
• Basics like E2EE don’t work
• Sync works when it feels like it
• Updating feels like russian roulette
