| gaurav__ | anyone? | 13:19 |
| lubot1 | <VikingRedwolf> Hi | 13:21 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Huh? | 17:48 |
| wxl | hai wulfie | 17:52 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Hello honeybear | 18:16 |
| wxl | so firefox is looking worse and worse for lubuntu :( | 18:19 |
| wxl | https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/53.0/releasenotes/ | 18:19 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Thunderbird is going to be dropped | 18:20 |
| wxl | "Ended Firefox Linux support for processors older than Pentium 4 and AMD Opteron | 18:20 |
| wxl | " | 18:21 |
| wxl | from where? mozilla? | 18:21 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> From any distro possibly! It's like a conspiracy! | 18:21 |
| wxl | where did you read this? | 18:21 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Mozilla no longer maintains Thunderbird. | 18:21 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> A couple blogs. | 18:21 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> That leaves us, Linuxeers, a few options to read mail. | 18:22 |
| wxl | that seriously sucks | 18:22 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Yup | 18:22 |
| wxl | out of all the options out there, for work, thunderbird has been our favorite pretty much since the beginning | 18:22 |
| wxl | ugh | 18:22 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> And one of the only three with cryptography capabilities. | 18:23 |
| wxl | can you send me a link? i will obviously need to research this further for work | 18:23 |
| wxl | those three being? | 18:23 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Sorry, 4. KMail, ClawsMail, Evolution and Thunderbird. | 18:23 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> But KMail might die in favour of Dekko. | 18:24 |
| wxl | i see | 18:24 |
| wxl | has dekko developed at all? | 18:24 |
| wxl | and, wait, that's qt right? | 18:24 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Yes :( | 18:24 |
| wxl | sigh | 18:26 |
| wxl | last time i looked at it, it was pretty limited | 18:26 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Yup. There's a commercial option under development, Nylas. | 18:26 |
| wxl | bah | 18:27 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Free version limited to 1 account. Shitty. | 18:27 |
| wxl | language, dear :) | 18:27 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> I hope the gnome team revamps soon the simplified version of Evolution. | 18:27 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Oh shit, you're right, this is a public channel! | 18:27 |
| wxl | grr | 18:28 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> .___. | 18:28 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Claws is wonderful, wxl. You should test it if you haven't. | 18:28 |
| wxl | i have | 18:29 |
| wxl | it's not too shabby | 18:29 |
| wxl | i had used it before at work | 18:29 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> It's highly configurable. | 18:29 |
| wxl | i guess it's also possible that someone takes over thunderbird? | 18:29 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Yes, community maintained. | 18:30 |
| wxl | i'm not finding a blog about this | 18:30 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> O.O | 18:30 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Try Joey's blog, omg Ubuntu. | 18:30 |
| wxl | probably not using the right search terms | 18:30 |
| wxl | ugh screw joey :) | 18:30 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> LOL | 18:31 |
| wxl | ugh i didn't see this because it was on ubuntu-desktop | 18:32 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> I'm even happier with gnome now we have app menus 😄 | 18:33 |
| wxl | this doesn't really elaborate much | 18:36 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> :) | 18:36 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> OMG I'm so hungry! | 18:36 |
| wxl | ah | 18:38 |
| wxl | this is old | 18:38 |
| wxl | it's still alive and well https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/New_Release_and_Governance_Model | 18:38 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> I'll find the link and send you | 18:39 |
| wxl | https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2015/12/thunderbird-active-daily-inquiries-surpass-10-million/ | 18:40 |
| wxl | most clear: | 18:41 |
| wxl | https://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2015/12/03/thunderbird-update/ | 18:41 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> That's a lot of users! | 18:44 |
| wxl | so thunderbird will continue | 18:44 |
| wxl | and it sounds like mozilla is still providing infrastructure, at least on legal/financial grounds | 18:44 |
| wxl | not in the sense that they are investing in thunderbird, but they are providing a place for others to | 18:44 |
| wxl | i think it is motivated by the fact that ultimately firefox has plans to sort of get rid of plugins as we know it | 18:45 |
| wxl | which will be interesting in and of itself | 18:45 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> I'm sure it'll continue, but it might change a lot. Which would be really nice. Its integration with gnome or Qt desktops is awful. | 18:45 |
| wxl | well, this has been ongoing for several years | 18:45 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Yup | 18:46 |
| wxl | i think if it hasn't failed by now, it's priobably not going to | 18:46 |
| wxl | oh hadn't realized that ultimately they're attempting to be kind of compatible with chrome, opera extensions | 18:55 |
| wxl | https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/mozilla-sets-plan-to-dump-firefox-add-ons-move-to-chrome-like-extensions/ | 18:55 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> O.O | 19:23 |
| wxl | hey @VikingRedwolf we are apparently officially Artful Aardvark according to the repos | 19:52 |
| wxl | that said we should do some special art | 19:52 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Yup! I just knew an hour ago. | 19:56 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> I love aardvarks! | 19:56 |
| wxl | me too | 19:57 |
| wxl | especially cerebus | 19:57 |
| wxl | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebus_the_Aardvark | 19:58 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> When I was a kid there was a cartoon, part of the Pink Panther Show, the Ant and the Aardvark. Awesome. | 20:48 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @VikingRedwolf LENNY AARDVARK! | 20:48 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> Where is it? | 20:48 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> ._. | 20:48 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Nope. There's plenty time. | 20:48 |
| wxl | you need to use cerebus!!!!! | 20:48 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> First: LennyQueen | 20:49 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @VikingRedwolf, Yes, DELIVER! | 20:49 |
| lubot | <VikingRedwolf> Nein! | 20:49 |
