Apparently it's a metadata bug, K9 shouldn't be listed as Thunderbird. See comments ITT.

Yes.

Hot tip. You can enable 'Install extension from file' in mobile Firefox apps (Firefox, Fennec, Mull etc) by going to Settings > About Firefox (or About Fennec etc) > Tapping the name 5 times.

You should see a message about debug mode being enabled and the 'Install extention from file' option should be in the Advanced section of your brower settings.

FYI this is from 2022 but is relevant because Thunderbird (and K9 v8) just landed in F-Droid (and other android package managers I guess but I haven't checked).

The process of importing from K9 Mail worked without issue for me. There is also the option to import from desktop using a QR scanner (or some kind of scanner, again I didn't go down that rabbit hole).

In F-Droid (not sure about Play or other app stores) K9 v8.0 (and above I guess) is now listed as Thunderbird Beta for Testers. I and possibly others thought that the K9 version of the app would keep it's branding all the way through, including it's listing name or title in various app stores. Perhaps it wont or perhaps it's a listing error. We'll see.

Python is used extensively in Linux distributions and in some or a lot of cases for distribution package management. In order to avoid breaking your 'externally managed' system pip is warning you and providing an easy to use method for using it and any packages you install through it.

Perfect Christmas gift idea

There was a place by the beach called Helenback.

My siblings and I in the car: Where are we going?

Mum (shouting): Hell and back!

I was an adult before I realised it had another name.

Hey sis, I'm just going to expose myself in front of your kids. You're cool with it right?

In case you haven't seen it there's a great documentary from 2005 about the anti-war movement within the ranks of the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War.

The UAW is calling on all unions to set their next contracts to expire on April 30, 2028 and for a general strike on May 1, 2028 to reclaim May Day.

What a time to be alive.

What would make it better than NewPipe?

This is a ban of those apps on work issued devices, not personal devices. I suspect there's a range of reasons for doing this but I don't think the apps being compromised is one of those reasons. Most likely the opposite, the apps work too well.

I don't remember where I read it but some Zionists do not consider non/anti Zionist Jews to be real Jews. So yes, they would consider this antisemitic. If I find the source I'll add it here.

There's only one chart that matters when it comes to Primer.

I think the major hurdle is that they can't just rebrand the existing app, they have to release a new one. Keeping the K-9 app around will help the user transition long term. The folks in this thread follow Thunderbird and Thunderbird for Android development but my guess is the majority of K-9 users don't. At some point when or if K-9 installs drop they will probably revisit the issue.

I hope the folks laid off land on their feet.

I'm starting to think FF is being deliberately run into the ground by the higher ups. It would be good to hear from some of the devs about their thoughts on all this.

You mean like SELinux or other existing contributions to the linux kernel?

Derivative of Gentoo by the founder of Gentoo.

Very coherent comment considering your shitfacedness.

You mean Minecraft is a survival game by default now?

Why would you use Gentoo for criminal activity over any other operating system including Windows and Mac?

If you want to keep your installation and save a little bit of time updating it then use the binary repo.

AntennaPod is great.

You can get Gentoo up and running pretty quickly by following the handbook. From memory it's easy to miss one or two clear instructions because the styling of the handbook can add more eye-catching weight to the explanation than the actual commands. So be sure to re-read areas where things don't seem to working out.

Gentoo also has a binary repo if you don't plan to stray from whatever installation profile defaults you start off with.

I can't confirm a simple server install of Gentoo is somehow more lean than any other distribution.

I've used gentoo-install with success previously although I don't know how up to date it is.

Not an asterism but an assterism (or arseterism).

Aside from saving places what else can you do with google maps that can be exported?

I've used Catbox with success before, but only for very short videos. Nothing like a video essay.

Is anyone here using this? What do you make if it?

It's possible that @ABCDE@lemmy.world replied to an earlier version of my comment where it said 'for many Israeli's' or something like that. I edited my comment before I saw their reply. Anyway, I edited my initial reply for clarity but I don't think it will help because my phrasing makes it sound like I'm the one who thinks the director's comments are antisemitic. I don't.

I think I get it now, it's like the way Disney or whatever draw female counterparts. You take a cow and you go, 'hmm, what can I add to make this a sexy female cow?'

Boom, eyebrows and so on. I think that's why this cow looks so weird.

For anyone wondering this is from RoboCop 2.
