Hi. 👋

For all the hype around #Thunderbird 115, I find it excitingly unexciting. It doesn't look like an application from the earlier past decade anymore, it still has all the functionality power users would expect and does a lot of things so much better than before. More importantly it JustWorks™. There is no learning curve if you have ever used Thunderbird before.

I have dabbIed with many alternatives in the past (particularly #notmuch based, e.g. #astroid which I have used for over a year exclusively), but Thunderbird's #SuperNova update finally feels like the innovation that makes it stick for good (for me anyways...)

#Google's Web Environment Integrity #WEI proposal is detrimental to the #free web. It inshrines web #surveillance even further and gives authoritarian regimes the tools to suppress journalists, activists and any other person even easier.

Read: Defective by Design - WEI is an all-out attack on the free internet

Reading the #Julia documentation and style guidelines, sucks me into the same deep hole that I once fell into when learning about #rstats

Playing around with #goaccess for privacy preserving traffic #analytics. Wrote a tiny script that is run by a cron-job and a (for now) super simple PHP site that works as a menu for archived traffic states: https://traffic.jayvii.de/

now that invidious is being targeted by youtube again, maybe i'll dig out my rss-aggregator again... as long as ytdl is still working anyways

Just started using #miniflux as #rss aggregator. Feels incredibly snappy and works well on desktop and as a PWA on the phone!

I've been looking for interesting blogs of random people yesterday and had a blast reading through some ppl's thoughts. Great way to spend your time, I had much more fun than on common social media platforms (including fedi)

There are only few blog posts that resonate with me as much as the past few posts from Drew DeVault about the state of Free Software, its institutions and the Community.
