Here is how I wasted the last 30 minutes with #mozilla #thunderbird Suddenly, the "add attachment" dialogue window stopped appearing. I could not attach memes to my emails anymore. I messed a bit around, unsuccessfully. Nothing appears anywhere in logs. I also checked #bugzilla , but that bug tracker is a huge mess and I can't wrap my head around it. Defeated, I tried #ai , which, I have to admit, helped. But not immediately. It went carefully through discarding possible culprits one by one, starting from the most common issues, until it found the cause. The culprit, in my case, is a ridiculous #bug (anyone feel free to report it, I won't touch Bugzilla with a stick) I deleted the last directory which I had last used to attach a file from. This path remains stored as default "last used" directory. Thunderbird did not find the directory anymore and decided to FREAK OUT SILENTLY instead of doing something sensible, like defaulting to my home, or at least alerting me that the directory could not be found. I want my 30 minutes back :( #rant #linux #opensource #foss #floss

@kdkorte@fosstodon.org It's ideal even for 'self-employed' or 'single worker' enterprises. I switched to Linux and FOSS at home while I had an office job using Windows, MS Office, Adobe & Quark. So when my side-hustle became my job I was already familiar with all the software I needed, without spending a single penny. #Linux #LibreOffice #Inkscape #GIMP #Scribus #GnuCash #Firefox #Thunderbird

Zum #Diday kann ich berichten: Kalender nun per Davx5 und #Nextcloud in #Fossify Calendar auf dem Smartphone gespielt. #fedieltern, sogar der Familienkalender funktioniert. Yay! Und bei #Posteo angemeldet, #K9Mail auf dem Smartphone eingerichtet und #Thunderbird läuft parallel auf dem #Linux Mint Rechner. Nun muss nur alles auf die neue Mailadresse umgestellt werden. Uff, das wird ein Akt. Aber insgesamt #dutgemacht. #didit #dut #did

""Starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (#RHEL) 10.2, #Firefox and #Thunderbird are delivered as Flatpaks by default. If you install RHEL with a graphical desktop, your browser and email client will now come from the #RedHat #Flatpak registry instead of traditional #RPM Package Managers (RPMs). Here's what that means in practice and […]" https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/firefox-and-thunderbird-rhel-flatpaks-what-it-means-you #Linux

A nice "back to school" hiccup with email this weekend. Unsurprisingly, the authentication bits from #Thunderbird to #Firefox don't work with #Librewolf because the entire OAuth thing is insane but whatever. Anywho ... installing Firefox for the ONETIME auth to get thunderbird to resume pulling IMAP email is something that makes me grind my teeth at night and want to throw all of civilization into the sea.
