except for the AI shit that I don't know why Mozilla-affiliated services are pushing through, from the Thunderbird perspective I'd say this announcement is the most coherent and hopeful that has been produced for several years related to Mozilla products thunderbird.topicbox.com/group

however if it means they'll essentially lock out people from using Thunderbird with their emails from other services, it's completely unnecessary and shortsighted

If "AI in the browser" was of any true value to users, it would be shipped as an extension. Maybe a paid extension.

Then the market could decide its value.

Forcing it into the browser without consent is an admission that it does not provide users with value and could not survive without a heavy thumb on the scales.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.

And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!
