[13:19] <gaurav__> hi
[13:19] <gaurav__> anyone?
 Hi
 Huh?
[17:52] <wxl> hai wulfie
 Hello honeybear
[18:19] <wxl> so firefox is looking worse and worse for lubuntu :(
[18:19] <wxl> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/53.0/releasenotes/
 Thunderbird is going to be dropped
[18:20] <wxl> "Ended Firefox Linux support for processors older than Pentium 4 and AMD Opteron
[18:21] <wxl> "
[18:21] <wxl> from where? mozilla?
 From any distro possibly! It's like a conspiracy!
[18:21] <wxl> where did you read this?
 Mozilla no longer maintains Thunderbird.
 A couple blogs.
 That leaves us, Linuxeers, a few options to read mail.
[18:22] <wxl> that seriously sucks
 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
 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?
 Sorry, 4. KMail, ClawsMail, Evolution and Thunderbird.
 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?
 Yes :(
[18:26] <wxl> sigh
[18:26] <wxl> last time i looked at it, it was pretty limited
 Yup. There's a commercial option under development, Nylas.
[18:27] <wxl> bah
 Free version limited to 1 account. Shitty.
[18:27] <wxl> language, dear :)
 I hope the gnome team revamps soon the simplified version of Evolution.
 Oh shit, you're right, this is a public channel!
[18:28] <wxl> grr
 .___.
 Claws is wonderful, wxl. You should test it if you haven't.
[18:29] <wxl> i have
[18:29] <wxl> it's not too shabby
[18:29] <wxl> i had used it before at work
 It's highly configurable.
[18:29] <wxl> i guess it's also possible that someone takes over thunderbird?
 Yes, community maintained.
[18:30] <wxl> i'm not finding a blog about this
 O.O
 Try Joey's blog, omg Ubuntu.
[18:30] <wxl> probably not using the right search terms
[18:30] <wxl> ugh screw joey :)
 LOL
[18:32] <wxl> ugh i didn't see this because it was on ubuntu-desktop
 I'm even happier with gnome now we have app menus 😄
[18:36] <wxl> this doesn't really elaborate much
 :)
 OMG I'm so hungry!
[18:38] <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
 I'll find the link and send you
[18:40] <wxl> https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2015/12/thunderbird-active-daily-inquiries-surpass-10-million/
[18:41] <wxl> most clear:
[18:41] <wxl> https://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2015/12/03/thunderbird-update/
 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
[18:45] <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
 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
 Yup
[18:46] <wxl> i think if it hasn't failed by now, it's priobably not going to
[18:55] <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/
 O.O
[19:52] <wxl> hey @VikingRedwolf we are apparently officially Artful Aardvark according to the repos
[19:52] <wxl> that said we should do some special art
 Yup! I just knew an hour ago.
 I love aardvarks!
[19:57] <wxl> me too
[19:57] <wxl> especially cerebus
[19:58] <wxl> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebus_the_Aardvark
 When I was a kid there was a cartoon, part of the Pink Panther Show, the Ant and the Aardvark. Awesome.
 @VikingRedwolf LENNY AARDVARK!
 Where is it?
 ._.
 Nope. There's plenty time.
[20:48] <wxl> you need to use cerebus!!!!!
 First: LennyQueen
 @VikingRedwolf, Yes, DELIVER!
 Nein!
