  • v137 on KDE, there’s no minimize or close to tray option in the settings, like some screenshots suggest.

    Thunderbird extensions for that don’t work on recent versions, and KDocker - which I used for a couple of years - doesn’t seem to work on Wayland. So the only option on some DEs seems to migrate to Betterbird.


  • yeah, I use Thunderbird, but it bothers me how slow it feels and the frequent little UI bugs with unread flags not updating and the delay of messages to show up in the unified inbox.

    It’s nice that Betterbird has a system tray (I can’t believe how a standalone desktop app for emails neglects this, like TB does), but it still inherits a lot of the problems TB has.






  • Here’s a shocking (/s) observation: it’s about different things for different people.

    For seniors like the author, it may be about companies trying to replace them with cheaper professionals. For companies, it may be about renewing the workforce. For product owners / tech leads, it could be about the opportunity of using a rewrite to pick a stack that better aligns with the problems they’re trying to solve. For regulators it may be about its safety features and eliminating entire categories of common issues. For juniors, it may be about choosing a language they actually like working with.
