Right and there is no reason whatsoever it needs to do that. Just paste the URL into my message as plain text and let it go at that. If the recipient trusts me they will open the link, if not they won't, but there is absolutely no reason Thunderbird has to be looking at it when I'm still in the process of composing the message!

It's bad enough that whoever I use as an email provider will look at that link but at least they may have some justification in trying to stop malware embedded in images. But it is none of Thunderbird's damn business what links I may be thinking about sending to another person.

@Lunatech @thunderbird
This is a concern even when composing messages. For instance: When inserting an image URL, #Thunderbird 102 makes at least 2 HTTP requests to the remote image server before the message is even sent!

#OpenAI may be new and scary, but soon it will be seen as a resource like any other. Get your scaries out now or you'll be like that high school teacher you once had who was terrified of Wikipedia.

Jesus doesn’t get Republicans.

I doubt he gets Evangelicals either.

I don't know how many people are aware of this fact, but #Israel doesn't have a constitution, & it only really has 2 branches of government: the executive and judicial (the prime minister controls the legislative chamber).

Now the PM, #Netanyahu, is trying to dissolve the independent judiciary (including their supreme court) to make it subject to political hirings & firings with zero oversight from anyone other than the majority party, which must only garner 61 out of 120 legislative votes.

Oh there's "self described Christians" that walk THEIR walk in Jackboots and hidden swastikas & hand signals. That's the group that's Anti-LGBTQ+ & is playing the deception game cleverly.
The "He Gets Us" ad is sponsored by a Hate group & extremist #Christofascists who are also connected with Hobby Lobby's David Green--a conservative christian with a myriad of scandals. Don't fall for their Fascist Republican Jesus. It's really bald faced Anti-Christianity at its core.

The PERFECT response!

Campbell's, your new commercial with the 2 dads makes me sick.

Hi Kim! If you're feeling sick, we suggest enjoying a delicious can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup. Make sure to enjoy it hot, so that it can help warm up your cold, dead heart.

This former CDC director writing on Medium about the state of knowledge about #LongCovid is very good and one of the recent pieces I'm most proud to be hosting.

One of my hobbies is thriftmac.com — a collection of hundreds of free #Mac apps that I regularly update. They are all 100% free. I won't list anything with a free trial or in-app purchases. The site itself is also free — of ads and trackers. If you know of an app that should be added, please let me know!

@fsf it is irritating to have old files that you can't open anymore because you missed an update 5 years ago or maybe your software is not available anymore. Your own creativity trapped forever by #closedsource . That's the main reason I jumped on the #opensource wagon. That and a nice virus that made my HDD click until dead. Anyone remember that one? Back in 2005. All my early photos gone 🙂. There's 0, nothing Microsoft can say to make me ever buy into windows ever again.

Do you know Tauon Music Box?

It's a really cool, sleek music player. It has some really cool feature, like the ability to rapidly make new playlists, the search works a charm by simply typing something, it has multiple layouts. Take a look, it's a nice project!

In the process of making a different point, @mmasnick does a great job showing how deeply US #copyright law in 1790 differed from US copyright law today.

PS: Or how far the original US arguments for copyright fall short of justifying what copyright has become.
