Sadly, I have the same experience. It's one of the minus points of using Thunderbird, alongside the lack of the feature for shipping my configurations (e.g. filters) across machines.

From my experience, programming and technology communities are already really strong on Lemmy. I'm confident to say that if you care about these topics, moving from Reddit to Lemmy is a good option. For another categories, they're

I used to love Tuta for the tempting price (1eur/month). But now due to the increasing price, poor UX, no bridge to Thunderbird, broken filter rules, I switched to another provider.

I think the only option to make sure it will run in the 10 years is to package the linking libraries and all the dependencies. Container (e.g. Docker) or Nix can solve this, provided that these technology still live in the next 10 years.

But still, we should strive for writing the best "clean code" that we set out to write. So "clean code" here is subjective and bound to the individual. Normally, business and absurd deadlines force us to lessen that prin

For me, the "Inbox rules" hasn't been working as I expected—some emails doen't end up in the folder that I want. The experience of editing rules feels awkward. And I cannot "bridge" Thunderbird to Tutanota to a

Ansible makes mutable changes to the OS, task by task. Nix is immutable . A new change is made entirely new, and only after the build is successful, all packages are "symlinked" to the current system. Fedora Silverblue is based

I also had a hard time choosing between Python and Ruby for my goto scripting language. But given Python community is more active outside of webdev, I also chose to stick to be more professional on Python.
