    The road to bringing you a great Thunderbird email experience on Android devices begins with K-9 Mail, which joined our family earlier this year. And weve been busy improving K-9 Mail as we prepare its transition to Thunderbird for Android in Summer 2023. (Check out our roadmap for updates!)

    Last week we showed you the new Swipe actions in K-9 Mail 6.400. Today, its something even more exciting: a completely redesigned message view!

    A few short years ago Thunderbird was on the verge of extinction. But you saved us! This year we began work on an Android version of Thunderbird, made excellent progress toward next years Supernova release, and hired more talented software engineers, developers, and designers to help us make Thunderbird better than ever in 2023.

    Incinerated workers & Debian unhealthy culture
    [10:53] schestowitz

    If these debian-private emails were hidden from Potter's employer then it implies that the employer, the US Navy, is a victim and Debian culture is the problem. How can any employer anticipate a healthy work/life balance when some of their workers are secretly participating in debian-private 7 days per week? This is another lack of guard rails.

    [10:53] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-danielpocock.com | Incinerated workers & Debian unhealthy culture [10:53] schestowitz

    At this time, Potter had sent 247 messages to debian-private. His employer was unlikely to know about this workload.
