I cannot figure out how to install a #flatpak application with an additional locale. On my workstation, #thunderbird is installed with en only, while on my laptop it is installed with en, de. I would like to install de on my workstation as well. If anyone has any advice on how to do this, thanks in advance. 🫣

¿Les suele pasar que al responder un email, de los que vienen con formato/html, les queda el color del texto en blanco?
Tengo que seleccionar negro cada vez (si no el texto queda igual que el fondo... de hecho todo el texto citado también queda en blanco....)
It was 69% complete, right below the threshold. Since then there has been no significant change. If you are a K-9 Mail user and a native Korean speaker, please consider helping out.

Missed Office Hours last week? No problem: the full recording is ready to watch on YouTube and @tilvids.
The 3 developers behind the effort to bring native Microsoft Exchange support to Thunderbird discuss their adventures in Rust, and explain the long-term benefits and steep challenges associated with this project.
I have upgraded two systems to #Ubuntu 24.04 now and also tried #Thunderbird as snap (which is the default for Ubuntu 24.04) on another machine.
The system upgrades were incredibly smooth. Thunderbird in general also works fine, but it doesn't support #GPG with private keys on a #YubiKey yet (which is my usecase). (Yes,there is a workaround, although clunky.)
So it looks like I'll stay on 23.10 a bit longer on my main machine.
I didn't expect to fanboy out over a Cards View update that just landed in #Thunderbird Beta 126.0b1, but here we are. I LOVE IT! It’s a MAJOR visual improvement, and I’m ridiculously proud of our UX team for landing it.
This also needs to be repeated over and over: our team growth and user growth, all the visual and technical improvements, our increasing sustainability, NONE of it would be possible without the generosity of our donors.
The Thunderbird Beta channel just updated to version 126.0b1, and it brings major visual improvements to Cards View! 😍

A big round of applause to Micah and Sol from our UX team for their awesome work on this, and to our community for your valuable feedback here and on our #Thunderbird UX mailing list (https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/ux).
it's interesting how I lately have started to move a lot of my online activities back to #Thunderbird (on Windows)/#Claws Mail (on Linux) as standalone desktop applications. It is quite convenient to have all the different communication channels I am interested in in one single spot. (email, usenet, rss, irc)
In fact #Mastodon is the outlier, nobody so far seems to be interested in making a Thunderbird plugin for that. Although I guess I could use the bitlbee plugin @kensanata made for that.
finally logged into tilde.club today, which is such a neat concept but seems a bit dead. at least at the times when I tried to visit it.
on the other hand I got znc and an irc daemon running without problems and now have my private bouncer for... oh... well, lets face it, #IRC is hardly the chat system of choice by now.
but I can use it and that's neat.
by the way #thunderbird made issues again. or, well, #betterbird, which is mostly a better version of TB. But one thing they didn't fix is that the IRC client in their app doesn't send server passwords to servers. which is a problem when using it with znc, because that one uses the server passwords to identify which network to connect to.
anyway, it can be added in the Config Editor, so at most an inconvenience.
I assume barely anyone actually uses TB for IRC anyway.
I donated to @thunderbird today to #freetheinbox. Join me to support communication privacy. (They need to add a Mastodon share intent on their donation page)
Dies finde ich sehr löblich und bin gespannt wie diesbezüglich M$ nach zieht und evt. u.a. z.B. OpenPGP & ect. integriert?
