Hi K-9 Mail community! This is a reminder that we'll be retiring this account next month, when K-9 Mail transforms into #Thunderbird for #Android.

So please go follow @thunderbird to stay in touch and get future updates. Thanks for being on this journey with us!

(YES, Thunderbird for Android will be on @fdroidorg)

If you missed the news, here's the original announcement: blog.thunderbird.net/2022/06/r

And here's where to find our monthly development updates: blog.thunderbird.net/category/

@ericsfraga yeah, my own issue rarely crops up. I just restarted my exwm (and recovered most of my tabs) and so far we are back to snappiness

@dangillmor @indivisibleteam

That was great review for my casual, not corporate previous leaving of X.

@ericsfraga I don't use FlySpell, but FireFox is my main browser, too. But then wouldn't killing all my Firefox buffers probably fix the lag? I have tried that; I wonder if they make some additions to the WM state (is that even a thing?). I have also noticed if I leave them open and connected to a long running REPL for browser-interactive developing it can cause problems, but I chalk that up to a process getting long in the tooth in its browser usage..

@dekkzz76@emacs.ch (version pinning is a very common idea in package managers, apparently, so my response probably didn't do the topic justice)

@daviwil Just for the record, since I watch twitch and other platforms I have started using libredirect to point to privacy-friendly versions of those sites; this has the effect that it might not count me as a viewer, and also I cannot participate in the chat on the video. But other than those, it works great SafeTwitch). So, I am watching -- but you might not know it

@dekkzz76@emacs.ch just the opposite, actually. There are some high-usage packages that, wisely or not, make some semi-breaking alpha changes on their main branch, and I need to lock myself to a stable one.

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll investigate a few options for improving the IRC experience so that more people might be able to join us there! The Matrix Libera.Chat bridge shutdown has been pretty tragic, let's try to address that.

Also, today we're experimenting with streaming *ONLY on Twitch*! No YouTube stream today. Let me know what you think!

Join us here: twitch.tv/SystemCrafters

What are we doing with the web?
(Medium, really?!)

I was thinking of finding a new package manager that allows easier version-pinning than does Straight.el. Rabbit hole; read through a big reddit thread on this topic from 7 months ago and realized now is not the time. Maybe I'll come back to this later; for now Straight is good enough.

One simple Mastodon message about a #Python print()-trick I discovered recently and the evolving thread surprises me with one golden nugget after another.

Thanks!

@tfb does that preempt graphical things, like my browser? Sometimes I have to switch to a system terminal with eg `C-M f2` to debug something breaking my emacs, but I don't believe I can get a GUI app up from there

@dff downloaded Thanks for the recommendation!

@worldsendless I've seen some creative works that aren't software given GPL style licenses. However, licenses such as the #CreativeCommons ones tend to be more widely used for a variety of reasons. Was very impressed with Lawrence Lessig's book which talks about the Creative Commons and mentions Free Software as an inspiration: feedbooks.com/book/2750

My session has become lagged; switching to another window is sometimes doesn't take, and might need two or three attempts before I can input into that window as expected. I wish I knew WHAT had built up to cause this issue; lacking time, I'll probably just need to reboot at some point.

@beanalby my repos are already all set up, though. Time to figure out what the git conf version is

@beanalby I have been excitedly trying `git --shared` and my install doesn't know that command, though I see it in the documentation.

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign

Does anyone else have experience setting up in a ? What did you do for ?
