Resharing this as we get ever closer to inviting folks in to use the Thunderbird email service: Thundermail.
Use tech that enriches your life, not built to extract from you all that it can.
*Edit*: You can sign up for the waitlist for Thundermail here: https://thundermail.com
@Canageek I run Thunderbird. Search needs an update (will happen) - and the event dialogue is broken (I think we may have a fix for that very soon).
I encourage you to jump to the monthly release (now the default on the website) and ride with us just a little longer.
Get off Gmail, use Thunderbird (and soon Thundermail).

How do we make the next generation of protocols more difficult to weaponise?”
Here’s a clean recording of my #FOSDEM talk “Willow - Protocols for an uncertain future”. This talk was a real labour of love, hope you enjoy it!!!
Can we learn something about how to use tech in a healthy way from... The Amish? I think we can.

The Amish don’t shun tech—they choose tools that serve their goals and values. By setting limits, and prioritizing relationships over convenience, they model a path for us. Asking “What do I want my devices to do for me?” not “What can they do?”
