"Linux System Tray - Contributor Spotlight

We’d like to give a special shoutout this month to Christophe Henry, who has gone above and beyond with an ambitious contribution to improve Thunderbird’s system tray integration on Linux."

Many thanks to the @thunderbird devs for guiding me through this. They have been of infinite kindness and patience. It's a pleasure to contribute 🥰

Please help with testing a new
#Thunderbird #Security feature: Unobtrusive Signatures, a novel mechanism for digitally signing email, currently implemented for #OpenPGP.

It avoids the unexpected signature attachments that are shown by non-supporting email clients for emails that used the traditional signing format, and that were frequently confusing recipients. With this new mechanism, it should be fine to sign all emails.

More details here:

Fully remote, ideally in Europe, but open to East Coast. Note that Mozilla can only hire in a few EU countries (NL, FI, SE, BE, UK, FR, DE, ES, PL).

“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”

These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.

I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.
